Haha, that's awesome. However, windshield wipers have been removed - they're going to get protested.

This Mini CooperS can do the entire course flat-out, no lift. Bet you can't do that in your Mini, Kurt.

Hey Vincent, I bought that same car for my granddaughter. Perhaps we can arrange a run-off?

We'll need an additional kids' course at El Toro next time.

QV, I was thinking something similar, even before I scrolled down to your post. I also thought how awesome, but my catch was the "chopped" windscreen not being legal.

Cool. Interesting thing is, the scale of driver to car is the same for Kurt as is it for Vincent's kids...

Give my girls a few months, and they'll be ready to do a run-off with your granddaughter.
