Duke,
Since you're in the military, here's what you need to do my friend:
(I got this idea from a friend of a friend who lived in Tassie - he owned a green tricked out 70's Corolla called Kermit).
You need to go to a custom decal/sticker shop, and take in some designs of various car emblems, with red X's through them, or similar (like the circles with lines through you're using).
Then whenever you get a kill, stick one on your drivers side front fender in between the wheel/drivers door area to signify a kill just like a WWI/WWII ace.
Facetious? Yes. But cool? Arguably? Yes.
Btw- was nice to meet you at the fest finally, mate.

Great idea but it might give away my cars sleeper status.
Nice meeting you too. The show was great.
Speaking of shows, I have a Fort Campbell wide show I am going to put my car in next Saturday. Will be very interesting as it is open to all automobiles.

Maybe I'll just use the idea on my car when it's done then. My e28 is a little more....... aggressive looking than most.

Mini had an ad campaign several years ago along those lines. They had a one-page ad in some mags with peel off stickers that were profiles of many performance cars. Not sure how many of those cars could be "had" by a Mini, but I'm sure the stickers ended up on all sorts of cars.

I haven't driven a straight Cooper so I can't comment on them. But my wife's '06 Cooper S scoots off the line pretty quickly, and if you get into the twisties, it's like driving a Go-Kart. I think the factory specs 0-60 mph @ 6.2 seconds for the Cooper S.

The regular Cooper is pretty quick too, but the Cooper S is out of this world for me - once that supercharger kicks in - bam! The Cooper just has a different, more laidback feel. Everything is different as far as suspension and weight distribution is concerned - it just isn't as quick. If you drive one with the auto, forget it.
