Little Bitty - Mini Cooper Countryman

Two weekends in a row car shows canceled due to rain, so I'm entertaining myself using a couple of internet images and doing some enhancements. This was a layer cake, 28 layers in all.

 

Though I have never owned a Mini Cooper I know several friends that do and they really enjoy them. I'd like to give one a spin.

 

This is the Mini Cooper Countryman a four door model that sits a little higher off the ground and has more room in the cabin. This model is decked out in the John Cooper Works package making it a little more sporty.

 

These Mini's may be a little bitty but I think that they pack a lot of fun into them.

 

The John Cooper Works is a derivative of the Cooper S ALL4 version of the Countryman, with increased engine power to 218 PS (160 kW; 215 hp) and 280 N⋅m (207 lb⋅ft) with over boost: 300 N⋅m (221 lb⋅ft). Steering, suspension, wheels and appearance have also been modified.[27] It was unveiled at the 2012 International Geneva Motor Show, and went on sale in autumn 2012.

 

Mini (stylized as MINI) is a British automotive marque, owned by BMW since 2000, and used by them for a range of small cars. The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a marque in its own right when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names. BMW acquired the marque in 1994 when it bought Rover Group (formerly British Leyland), which owned Mini, among other brands.
