Thanks for your suggestion. Shanghai is a very nice city and I have stopped by a couple of times but never spend enough time to see the city.
About that Mini. It's a car with very good performace, especially since BMW bought it over from the British man Cooper (thus the car named Mini Cooper -- I seem to remember Cooper are 2 brothers, John Cooper and Mike Cooper, but I may be wrong.),
and tuned it with BMW suspension and steering flavor. A friend of mine bought a Mini (S) some time ago and I drove it for about half an hour.
It shares similarities with my 328is, just a little stiffer on rough pavement. You won't be able to use it for big shoppings, but you will certainly love it on the freeway
from Shanghai to Hangzhou or Lingbo.
I very much appreciate your encourgagement and suggestion. Will come to visit you (and your Mini :=) ) whenever I come to Shanghai. I am always happy to hear any more suggestions.
