OVERDRIVE.in recounts a fascinating driving experience through India and has this to say, among other things, about the MINI:
. . . But my absolute favourite thing is the handbrake – I’ve never used one that works better. The Mini simply wants to slide everywhere and there’s enough power going to the front wheels to allow you to carry it quite long . See a round-about? “Let’s skid around it!” U-turn? “Oh, can we please use the handbrake?” It’s like a hyperactive adolescent Labrador, its big eyes begging you to throw that stick (in this case, yank the handbrake) again and again and again. I love it! . . .
