My god brake dust on mini wheels!! Does that one actually get used??

The CTR is almost as dirty. TBH I know on paper the VXR has loads more torque, but in the real world, in gear, as long as the 197 is over about 2.5/3k rpm there isn't a great deal in it - we've both driven each others and both agree. It's down to the racey short gearing of the 197.

Thanks for the kind words everyone Mine isn't dirty, because I'd only owned it about 3 days at that point heh, and I like to keep my cars clean anyway - ditto the Corsa owner (although he's had his a month or so).

looks like the renault and vauxhall were made in the same factory.. talk about car makers playing it safe..

both look great tho, makes the honda cheese wedge look dated..

Yea we all felt (except the CTR owner hehe) that the CTR looked dated and the mini was so dirty it almost looked like a rally ****

That's awesome. Looks like a photoshoot for "Hot-hatch tow-car of the year" (HHTCOTY - look out for it in EVO magazine soon ).
