yeah it has some fancy instruments...but compared to the williams....the driver involvement is almost zero....felt so detatched from the 200 when driving it. granted, i didnt thrash it round a track, but new cars just seem to lack soul.
beware the valver. used properly and the roof will buckle just behind the sunroof. not exactly detrimental to how they drive, but an eyesore none the less. williams all the way tbh.
and i wouldnt bother with a 3....1s or 2s. rust is an issue on them, as it is with all cars of that age, my...
lol @ all the unreliable comments ......mostly from people who dont have a clue or any experience of owning/driving one of these cars.
the general service items are cheaper than the 1*2 items, the major componants are cheaper than 1*2 items
yes they do suffer from the dreaded tin worm, but...
had many many minis over the years...from 1000s to 1430s and pretty much evrything in between, deseamed, webasto roofs, stripped on 10s, loaded on 13s....
id like a wood n picket, or something along those lines....id settle for an era...just....just not a huge fan of the lamm kit.
i will...
i must have a couple of screws loose then lol
i drive my car cos its what i want to drive.im a bit older than 35, doesnt stop me hooning round in it when i feel the urge tho. and working on it keeps me young lol
hopefully be on the lookout for an original mini soon too....
so the f7r is the same engine as the 172, 182, 197 and 200.....lol....time to do some research for you i think.
mini isnt liked cos it lacks everything the original mini stood for. end of really. as is the case with nearly all new cars.
its also like saying the new mini cooper is better than the old one, the original one. remember, like the beetle, this car was a way of getting a hell of a lot of people motoring relatively cheaply. hmmmm...of course, the new mini cooper betters that by being far too much money, having nowhere...
hmm.. obviously not then as you say so....the journey home from tweeks in matts car mustve been a figment of my imagination.....with me just sat in thin air making noises.
and lmao at all the newer is better s**t....get a grip ffs......newer in car terms is undoubtedly , pretty much same...
when did i say that??
its not in my vocabulary to say anything of the sort. the 200 was too slow, too heavy, and far too damn quite to even think about a comparison.
and the williams was very competitive on price upon release too. and handed everything else its size, and quite a lot bigger, their arses......and still is doing.
a little clip of the mag day we had at brunters, and the aim for 'an action shot' lol
