What an odd pairing. Nice new set of wheels though!

Nice. I rode in a mini for the first time last weekend and was impressed with it. The interior is very cool, and it was very responsive.

Nice match. I hope both of those garage spaces are yours... I'd hate to see the Mini get an inside seat before the Z

I can assure you all that the Z gets the garage.

It was dark out so I pulled the other in for the picture.

Yes the Mini is a great fun and very responsive. Because of the short wheelbase turn in is so fast. It's actually kind of weird the first few times, you have to experience it.

Nice second ride you got there !

I got a 06 GTI (200HP/210Tq) for my daily driver. I love driving it. Its a blast in the turns, and the turbo is great ! My friends call it a slot car cause it just flies thru the turns.

. I get 30mpg in the city too. No complaints when the gas was $4 a gallon !

This is funny because my wife and i plan on test driving both of these cars for my next daily driver. I have no use for the Tundra anymore.

I like the thought of the manual in the Mini S and the 6 sp DSG gearbox for the GTI (Shifts faster than an Enzo!!). I may toss a WRX in the mix too, although i don't care for the looks.

Nice looking DDs!

JEZZ!! Maybe I need a Gas Efficient Daily Driver! My FORD Diesel has a 30 Gallon Tank and only gets about 250 Miles Per Tank. Gas is Cheap right now, but when it was $4+ a Gallon.. Ouch..
