Thereabouts

My front lawn looks like block paving, and the one at the back looks like decking.

Old lady knitting while speeding down the motorway, copper pulled up alongside and said Pullover! No, gloves she replied.😵‍💫

Almost🤣

 I’d defy anything to go around a corner or roundabout as quick as a Mini, they are like a go kart.    .....

My Smart Roadster would keep up  It just grips & grips around corners

Our old Rover 25 was like that, .....

As I've posted before, the Rover 25 was the test body when the company were doing high mileage trials on the Cooper S engine, so if you ever saw a Rover 25 with twin centre zorsts that was one of them fitted with a Cooper S engine.     

I don't really cut the grass on my crap lawns, i just decapitate the weeds. 

My lawn looks like a Ukrainian battlefield after neighbours a couple of doors down had new fences put up, and the local badgers decided it was easier to get into my garden to carry out their excavations. 

Should add, quite fun to drive. ……

My Mrs must have had every derivative going of the R50/R56 Bini, from the Cooper S to the diesel. I’d defy anything to go around a corner or roundabout as quick as a Mini, they are like a go kart.    I had immense fun in hers when she wasn’t in it. 
The only issue was steep hill starts. Too little revs and it would nearly stall and too many revs resulted in a fifty yard wheel spin like a boy racer.    Very difficult to catch it just right and this is where the diesel was the much better choice, as it just plodded away at hill starts with no drama. 

Our old Rover 25 was like that, but only on Pirelli P6000 tyres, which went out of production.  Next best of all the ones I tried on it were one of the Kuhmos, but they had no feedback, so never sure when its gonna put you in a ditch

Me and said colleague with the Cooper Coupe never, ever raced home from work. Nope, never. Honest guv.  They weren't far off each other really, his just had the edge on acceleration (certainly initial acceleration), I seemed to be a bit more stable hard braking into corners

Should add, quite fun to drive.  Although the seats are incompatible with my poor back.

That was a concern, but it's actually pretty reasonable in that respect. Obviously nowhere near as comfortable/adjustable as what we're used to, but it's a very different car.

It's defo an issue for me - 10 miles in a ONE will set my back off for a week, but I know I have long standing issues with my poor back.  My colleague's old Cooper coupe thing was better, but still unsuited - shame, it was a hoot.
