Hey Tharg my current car is the Clubman Cooper S… I have a junction near me that i turn right and up a huge hill so you need to well want to give it the beans and you fly up the hill. Had a loan of my fathers XE for a week and done the exact same as i do in the Mini and the back end went away from me luckily i caught it before ending up completely sidewides. The grip from the Minis is great.
