two years ago i stopped using my '79 911 as a daily driver. ten years, and the last two of them with the 911 as my winter car as well.
anyway, i bought a brand new mini s. it took me close to a year to become really comfortable driving a front wheel drive car.
now i like the mini so much that i feel like i am cheating on my targa.

do i like front wheel drive? no.
can i tolerate it in the mini? yes. it is a great little car, terrific in the snow as well.

except for a saab i had back in 1972 and my audi quattro that i had for eight years i have always been a rear drive guy.

i hope that bmw will at least still offer their customers a choice and continue to make rear drivers as well.
