Mini Cooper Works GP - MK1- bloody good fun!

[jackpe]

Just sold my lovely E46 M3 and bought a Mini Cooper Works GP MK1. Might seem like a twisted change but it's all part of my plan to go through 12 cars I've wanted to own. Plan is to keep this for a couple of months at most and then move on to the next one.. Likely to be an Integrale. So far have to say the Mini is most impressive.. Very good fun little thing!!

Anyhow, I've done a first impressions video, have a look if you fancy it. Next weekend am making a more in depth one with some driving on proper roads!

I think number 786 from memory! It will be hard to sell on so soon.. i might buy one again one ive done the 12 cars thing.

Owned one for a year, cracking little cars. Needed 4 seats though...

If that number's right make sure when you do sell you have a Muslim buyer lined up - they'll be over the moon with that.

Also... Mini mk1? Bit big for one of those non?

Four seats?? I love the fact it's a two seater. It's what makes it so special ... And ludicrous!

Congrats mate, I absolutely love mine. One thing though - if it's still running RFTs get them swapped for a decent set of Michelin PSS or PS4s, makes such a difference

Sorry, just seen you're selling again in a couple months, so probably not the most economically feasible, but they really do deserve proper tyres on them to get the full benefit

Thanks! Luckily it is already running on non RF Michelins so no problem there!!

Just watched a few of your videos, looking forward to the next one. Presumably you've kept the 964 as well?

Yep!! The 964 is an ever evolving beast!! Next little vid on that one will be from a Silverstone track day in June.. Aesthetics have changed too.. The duck is gone for now as well as that hideous splitter and the wheels are now all black!
