The constantly puts a smile on your face. Is it exactly what this car does. I’m 63 year old biker and my GP2 is the best car I’ve had and it pulls like a Yamaha R1 in 3rd lol
BEAUTIFUL car. I got my daughter a ‘12 Cooper S and LOVE driving that car out of all the cars I have. I can only imagine how much better a driver’s car this is. Enjoy it young lady👍🏽
Thanks Rob, hope so let’s see what happens. Doesn’t matter how long it takes this is a hobby something I love doing. Love you guys enjoying it too etc keeps me going :)
I totally love a mini so I got myself a GP but so hard to drive it tracks everywhere jumps across the road on hard fast country lane corners, now got a golf R it's far superior in every way👌🏾
Thanks for subbing mate, first time in one, driving one. I’ve owned a DC2 previous and genuinely this felt more planted was so so so impressed in the corners
@@CJK20 I'm glad she doesnt ! You can so tell shes not usual "car girl" shes a petrol head, got to respect her driving ability also ! Shame the car has to go
easy erc it does but we even spoke about her wanting to boost a DC5. How many girls choose to do that haha 😂 whatever she will get will be enough decent mate.
Nice review. I have the same car and similar mods. I have a bunch of rec driving club autocross trophies from it. Great car, everyone is surprised how well it does on the course. I've added horsepower but and a limited slip, but the only suspension mod is a 22mm rear sway bar.
I have an 08 clubman s currently and before it I had an 09 clubman non s. I get so much crap for driving a mini and i could care less. Every single time I drive my car I have fun! Even the non s was just always fun to drive. I have the transmission out of mine at the moment to put in a new clutch and the wavetrac LSD! I CAN NOT wait to see how this thing handles when it back together! Then it’s getting a stage 2 tune in about a month! 230-240 whp and 250ft lbs of torque along with the LSD!! It’s gonna be mean!!
I love at 4:00 "it's not so much the car, it's the road" then they hit a big bump and she doesn't even flinch, she knew it was coming and it was perfect timing. Even when you know it's coming, impressive. She definitely has the drivers focus and heart. I love my stock 11 base cooper, I do all my own work and maintenance, drive it like a bastard, they really are durable as hell if you take care of them and even with heavy throttle all over town I get over 30mpg so it's nice not having to interrupt the fun with stops for gas all the time. Down the road I'm going to swap in a supercharged K24a and make convert it to RWD or AWD, strip out all the unecessaries, put some nice tires on and really have at the roads. Central Texas has a nice combination of winding country roads with just enough changing elevation to keep it interesting.
normal mode is for really long drives so your arms don't get tired. I've driven 500 miles with only one pit stop. Every other day, I hit sport as soon as I start the car.
1:03 the heat shield is missing on the turbo. Nice car btw. I'm thinking of buying a r55 clubman jcw. They are Awesome cars if they are well taken care of.
I love this channel bro I miss see the supercharge eg6 that's was my dream car an this woman is a beast behind the wheel a beautiful as well the world needs more gear head girls like her!!!!😍
Just brought my wife an supercharged convertible and now i want one the seller didnt know what they had lol they said when i mash the gas its start making an winding noise and its popping when i come off the gas lets just say $800 was spented lol
CJK20 it’s all okay thanks for the upload keep doing your thing no one knows what you love to do better than yourself it’s one of the best looking and sounding mini at times I know it isn’t easy to downshift someone else’s gearbox if you didn’t see them downshifting some owners are very particular about their machines but all the same thanks for the good content .
Yeah honestly I don’t drive very many cars on the channel because I don’t like to ask. I’m more focussed on them and their cars their builds etc. So many channels out there just want to kick other peoples cars heads in. Not me dude :)
This is exactly true. Guide the car onto the intended line, then allow it to wind out as it sees fit. If it goes over a bump, just let it settle before making any further inputs.
@@CJK20 hopefully she did. You could definitely see a bit of discomfort in her eyes 😂 nice motor though. If you're reading this Laura, don't buy an S1, you'll be disappointed. Try a Mégane 275 if you want grins 👍
Maximum Attack Rally haha just didnt know what to expect really i dont let people drive it! I want a boosted dc5 or something! Not 100% sure! I just want lightweight and over 400!
@@lauramortimer5690 I think CJ is just about trustworthy 😂 DC5 is a decent shout. Meg would need forging for 400 really. Best handling in the business though
Goes well enough- but prefer a sweet crisp N/A motor like my B18C. Not as fast- but so much more rewarding & grin inducing. Modern stuff all forced induction as nobody builds a decent N/A anymore. The mini will ride awfully on a bumpy surface too
Having had a 98 spec DC2 I can honestly say I’m terms of handling there didn’t feel much between then. The extra grunt from turbo etc was fun with this pal :) can’t beat hondas obviously 👌
I wouldn’t have expected Euros as we are in UK unless you’ve converted it. It was previously up for 15,000 I think? They sell anywhere up to 17K+ for low mileage ones etc
Laura Mortimer that’s such a great price for the mileage it’s sitting at. I know for sure if you’re ok with dealing with logistics, then post the car here in the US and it will sell for that price and then some.
Hey bro, I think that comes across wrong. She’s doesn’t mean hard, think it’s just simply got a good weighted steering and manual. It’s not like most point and shoot new Audi’s and BMWs with DSG or M-DCT. I did get what she meant when driving it. The diff on the roads we were on wanted to pull you everywhere. Thats all mate just had to concentrate like any car.
Rich kiddo who gets everything she desires from daddy. Daddy I want a horse, ok sweetypie, daddy, I want a mini gp, ok sweety, daddy I wanna ''live on my own'' ok sweety here's a house and some extra money for the bills.
