Interesting article on how the MINI surpassed smart in overall sales: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/how-bmws-mini-trumped-daimlers-smart-car-02022012.html Not sure it's a fair comparison (the MINI is not a micro car) but it does point…

At 2:58pm on January 30, 2010, Frank said…: John, I've got the factory sizes front and rear. I kind of backed into it. I ordered the first tire wheel/combo to use as a spare the week I got the car. (later just bought the other three). At the time the dealer was trying to find me a Brabus. Within 3 weeks of delivery, they found one, but wanted to give $3,500 less than I paid for it 150 miles and 6 coats of wax earlier. I've spent over $3K on it, and it's still not a Brabus. But I love it anyway....Frank

At 7:09pm on January 28, 2010, Frank said…: Thanks again John, I agree next year should be twice as big!

At 6:19pm on January 28, 2010, Frank said…: Jwight, I saw your post on the You Tube video of the "Tail of the Dragon" run last September. That's my red Cabrio that the cameraman is following. What a thrill it is to see! To you or whoever took the video, I owe you a drink......Frank
