Oh yeah, wasnt trying to put you off or be negative about it - just stating facts.  We had a cooper which was not great and now have a Cooper S works which again is rubbish - but I knew this.

My Mrs has a works non s cooper, only about 150 converted prior to the S coming out.  Converted at coopers themselves springs/cams/intake/sound pack/JCW sports exhaust/certificate of authenticity. Doesnt even get remotely interested in getting going until 3.5k rpm and then revs it nuts off.

She wont let me drive it because I just cant get in it without flooring it in 1st and 2nd - great fun

By the way, do you live in the 1930s?  :grin:

Also pretty much every new mini I see has a white roof.   :wink:

EDIT: Hold on a minute, is that some one sat in the boot of that old car???   :signLOL:


HAHAHA - Has no one seen that 1930's car in the background with 2 people sat in the boot ????????!!!!!!  :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:
