They're not only Cute, but also Fast!

I'm talking about the Mini Cooper of course! but hold on, it's not just any Mini, it has to be the Cooper S. With it's turbo engine in the inside and perfect curls on the outside, I would say that the people at Mini works did a really good job in designing this adorable mean machine.
Why is Celine suddenly into cars you may ask. Oh, that's simple. That's because her two nicest uncles in Australia owns a Cooper S each, or they would call it Mini! but their explainable love for their cars didn't stop right there, yes, it spread. Not only Celine loves Mini too, but she also wants one. and she wants them heavily modified, just like uncle gab's. 

So the highlight of this post is the Mini Drive held just two days ago. The drive was along the coast from Black Rock till the Esplanade. You should see how the same car can have different looks. There were red ones, black ones, white ones, blue ones and yellow ones. Each with different stickers pasted to give the cute machine a sporty look. During the drive, some were slow, and some were lost. But me as a passenger, had real good time admiring the beautiful scenery Melbourne has to offer. The beach was breath-taking, the strong breeze had me zipped tight into the windbreaker, allowing only my eyes (and maybe part of my nose) to be seen.

Most trees are brownish due to the recent bushfire.
