ive driven three of the previous cooper s's and one of the latest, i found they struggle with corners if pushed. understeered like mad - although to be fair ive only driven them in winter.
acceleration was good, so were the brakes, but im not impressed with the car as a whole.
good motor for...
its a cat d & due a cambelt service - so prob priced a bit high IMO.
something very fishy about this car though, its been up for sale 3-4 times this year already.
it was on autotrader for about 6k not long ago...one of them "can export to the uk" scams.... could of just been that someone...
does yours have "aye" or similar on the number plate? thats the one my mum spotted.
she said it was this week, about 7.30 in the morning.
be good to do a local meet, always a pleasure to see another vee.
yeah i went across the 3 tonnes a few times today so that would of prob been me.
will keep my eyes peeled for the other one, be good to get another local to the meets.
ive seen a trophy with a youngish guy driving it on lower earley way a few times
i had left the vee at home as a mate offered a lift in a convertible. i was staying about a 100 yards down the road from you two, i kept meaning to take a stroll over and say hello but i was in full holiday lazy mode!
i was there for 8 days, it was awesome!! so many tasty motors about too!
a girl in a blue 172 cup and a trophy almost parked opposite each other in maison blanche. anyone off here?
also saw two lillads vees on mad friday. an 05 plate and one with "nice v6" as number plate.
saw hundreds of lambos, corvettes, r8s, etc but they werent as important... ;-)
you do have to plan ahead with the vee, its ok on the road but any car park requires thought. you sorta have to turn the steering wheel before you brain thinks you should. its odd! i have to do a lap of my work car park to get the angle to be able to fit into my spot without a 3/5 point turn.
haha!! my first spotted thread!!
i was going to ask actually, was there a reading cruise going on last night or something? there was LOADS of modded cars driving around!
