Oooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! Sub 16s here we come!!!! One night next week sound alright with you?? Will PM you to arrange a day and time.

Not sure of the exact date but rumour has it that it is the last episode in the series...sometime in July I think. Will have to get more details.

Later in the series of Top Gear they are doing a review on the Hartge Cooper S. The model they are testing is a guy from the mini forum and Clarkson is having his Hartge modded motor for 2 days to do road and track testing. As I am a member on the forum and also have a Hartge mini I have been...

Dont say that mate..............I wont sleep tonight!!!!! I think we need to sort some PMs out to get a meet sorted as I am banished from posting on the meets and events bit now for being a tight arsed git and not paying a fiver for membership. Will have to get it sorted out.

Danny Boy..............17s.......................Ave it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright Rhys!! Yes I think this is a first for me. At my mates for the weekend who happens to be on the net!!! Will have to meet up for a blast soon. Will be good if we could round a few others up too...................calling Craggy......Paddy.............Matt etc etc.

The name is James Scudetto and no offence taken.

Isnt the 172/cup very close to the V6 anyway?? Not being cynical or anything if it comes across that way?? Basically I would expect a 172 with 190 brake + to be as quick. Look at Paddys for a start (Serious).......... I wont even begin to talk about Cupsizes.... ;)

You find a flat piece of road set it to zero and as soon as you start to move the countdown begins. (Rhys set the thing up but it didnt appear to be rocket science) When the AP-22 registed 100 mph my speedo was reading 108 which explains my ambitious mid 14 runs previousley.

When I put my Cooper S against Rhyss AP-22 a ton didnt show until 108 on the clock.

You trying to say Im a fat b*****d Aaron?? Outside now!!!;) The Cooper S gets praised for its handling in car mags 95% of the time and it does deserve it. However after a spin in Rhyss Williams I can honestly say that it handled just as well if not better than mine.

Rhys hit a ton in 18.5 in his Willy two up with an AP-22. 100 didnt register until about 108 on the clock. Pretty sure it is standard.

Flannels is quite a cheeky shop too.

Unbeliveable. I would like to have seen the response if someone called boyracer would have nipped in to say hi!!! All the same hello baberacer and I might bump into you in Harvey Nics one of these days.

Will have to get Craggy behind the wheel to show me how its done properly!!

That was with the AP-22. Showed about 108 on the clock which explains why I was dipping into th 14s the night before with my unscientific calculations!!

16.4 was the best run we did with 2 up. Not getting good starts though. I really need some practice if I plan on coming to York!!!!

What made you go for the 330d over the 330i Geoff?? Company car? By the way they are pretty impessive figures. Especially the torque. Get it booked into Hartge and they will turn it into even more of a beast.

I raced Rhys when my Cooper S was standard and only had 800 miles on the clock and didnt have any problems keeping up. Had a blast down a long straight to about 115 and again no one was pulling or gaining. Same over twisties with some nice straights thrown in. Also "raced" him in his Williams...

If it was telling the truth Craggy then surely it would have said 162 wouldnt it?!?!?! Ducks for cover!!

I noticed that the supercharger whine is a lot more noticeable than standard when I test drove the demo. I personally like the sound but I know a lot of people of here say they hate it. Torque is upto 250 NM (I think) Standard is 210. Anyone know what this equates to in lbs/ft?

I refuse to be put to shame by your VTS Craggy!!

Yeah I think I will be ditching the run-flat tyres at 160 quid a piece. Just changed the fronts over to the backs and vice versa at 6.5K

No but in the back of Evo this month there is, along with a Hartge X5.

Dont rub in Dust you git!!!!:D I really want them but 900 quid!!!!!:o Maybe in a few months. They also do some rather cheeky 18s to finish it off.

Uprated supercharger and pulley and a re-mapped ECU. Not sure if they have any other secrets that they are keeping quiet about as the power figure is higher than all other tuners. (For now anyway) Anyway if anyone in the Sheffield area would like a spin I would be more than happy to meet up...

I am collecting my new 215 bhp Cooper S up tomorrow from Hartge! Took 2 demos out for a test drive on Wednesday. Without a doubt it is 1800 quid well spent. Went out and was three up (unfortunatley) and it definatley felt a lot more rapid than mine at the moment with just me in. Especially...

Of course I will......what do you think I am, a BMW driver?;)

I have been asked to go along and test Birdss Hartge Cooper S on that day as mine is booked in for the conversion on Wednesday. Birdss demo is being used at Donnington on the Tuesday so they have kindly invited me along for a test drive.

Thanks for a good day out lads. Enjoyed it.
