Mini Cooper S is a drivers car. One of the best.
The cabrio is for the fairer sex.

But it's my favourite type of car (sorry Champ, not a Lotus. Budget doesn't stretch quite that far. I've grown fond of eating, drinking and having a roof over my head!!!) and it'll do until I get a bike
Cheeky, you really are kinky. You should definitely be in sales.....I'm in!!!

Good Luck in your quest
Thanks XXX. Yes they're a pretty intriguing bunch don't you think? It's actually a relief to know that I don't have ADHD after all and that I've just been around quiet, predictable, practical types since moving here. ![Pi_freak Pi_freak](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/pi_freak.gif) Well...there was this one night tho..... ![Pi_tongue Pi_tongue](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/pi_tongue.gif) Oh lord, then there was this other.....
Thanks for the offer. Can do, as frequently dine at the Breaky Creek. It's within walking distance - both before and after

This is indeed an intriguing thread - spiced by some excellent use of words and repartee.
My call is that the Busa rider in question may well have been suitably beguiled by the combination of driver and weapon and certainly showed interest (and courage) beyond the norm to take the time to pull over and indeed follow up with a conversation. I suspect said rider may well be keen to pursue the encounter further if circumstances permit (and I think they might indeed permit - as I'm not convinced a firmly attached male would necessarily go to these extra lengths ?).
I think the odds are in favour of a positive outcome for The Damsel if only the word can reach the right ears.
Good luck - even if you have to await a repeat chance encounter - intrigue and anticipation bring their own satisfaction.

Its a shame the poor Mini Cooper S gets shoved in the same basket as the stock Mini or even the Cooper.
I know 4 other MCS owners and they are all males (to the best of my knowledge) & straight as.
A Cooper S is as near to a bike with walls that yu will find.
If you have to drive a car, you might as well drive one that can do what you want it to.

And here I was thinking something like a Caterham/Clubman/Atom style car, or a Lotus 211 or KTM X-Bow was closer to the same definition of crazy that makes us ride bikes

I'd rather be riding my Hayabusa thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my Hayabusa

Good Morning ![Very Happy Very Happy](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) One can only hope that you are correct 2Bob. He did seem quite hesitant to leave when the time came - but once again it could have been the car! However, from his actions and the conversation I think you're right - both it is.
I really was flustered (dealing with that alone was an experience - I usually don't get flustered) that morning and it was me that had him on his way. I think he wanted to go grab a coffee right there and then! I definitely would have loved that - he had gotten my attention fully (please excuse me for a moment while I go and kick myself for not being more with it that morning..... again.....)
Mystery Biker, if you're reading this - if that muscle bound lug of a guy wasn't racing up to my car to protect me I wouldn't have been so distracted and I would have been able to use my bloody phone to tell him to bugger off!!!! ![Very Happy Very Happy](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) I was trying to text him as we spoke to do just that, but damn, he was fast!! And then, right on cue, my phone goes into mental mode.... I think I hung up on about 3 people, conference called London, surfed the net and created a new excel spreadsheet in the short time we were pulled over. IT DIDN'T HELP MY SITUATION!!!!
Wasn't happy about seeing you ride off and it was at this stage my brain finally hit top gear. What you don't know is that about 1-2 minutes later after I'd explained briefly what had happened to my passenger, we abandoned coffee, did a very cheeky u-turn and gave chase. But you were gone :( He's still apologising.....
There are a lot of people reading this thread and I'm really surprised by the amount of interest and support. Maybe, just maybe, we'll locate this Mystery Biker after all.... Thanks everyone - you've been great. It has certainly taken the sting out of putting myself so 'out there'.
Cheers
The Damsel

I don't know Busgo....My WRX would give the cooper s a shake through any twisties!!! probably even round up a few Busa's on the way ![Popcorn Popcorn](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
Whoa Humbussa! BIG statement! Believe that's called hitting a beehive with a big stick
Busgo, not a MCS or any sort of Mini for that matter. A few husbands had something to do with the choice of my friends cars.... ![Very Happy Very Happy](https://www.australian-hayabusa-club.com/MyBB/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) You don't see my type of car around that often, tho there are a few others in Brisvegas.
WRX hey? Nice!

You're right on the rounding up bike thing :) Good set of rubber, a half way competent driver, and rounding up bikes is child's play in the twisties with an Impreza (even an RS/RX). The only place they get away is on the straights, but corner speed is so much higher in a car that the bike simply can't escape.
Although for rush factor, my Subie just doesn't compare to either of my bikes.

I think we need a new discussion for the "boring car" twistie lovers.
