Aero Blue, I hope you enjoy your new ride, I'm sure you will, I understand they are a blast to drive.

Stats from Road & Track magazine, Oct. 2005 issue:
Slalom: Crossfire Limited = 69.6 mph
...Mini Cooper S = 69.5 mph
Skidpad, g: Crossfire Limited = 0.89
...Mini Cooper S = 0.87
(let us know how long it takes for you to get use to the "poorer" handling of that FWD Cooper).

Glad to hear that you won't be leaving us, and if you show up at the Hotel for the Woodward Dream Cruise. I'm sure a couple of us will still talk to ya.
