Cooper S is costing me £1,700 a year based on being 21. Cant get a quote on the works version yet as it is not listed but estimate I will be talking around the 2K mark in January.

Should be January. Also will be 22 then so insurance group 20 wont shaft me so much. No I havent been on the MINI forum but I will take a look as I am sure it will be quite amusing.

Works kit been put on hold while they develop a bigger engine....You know ya stuff dont ya Paul....or maybe not. Orders are currently been taken my freind. I believe the only thing that is up in the air at the moment with it is the TLC package and wetehr or not it will be effected. Of course I...

I am sure that is the reason why Renault gave Auto Car Jurno a healthy tip GR!! Just like BMW have done with every magazine to do a press release on the mini!

Take you have got a cup the GR cause I cant see your MK 2 causing me many problems. Hopefully going to look at the cup in the near future as my bird is after a new car and this could be the one.

Arnt we grown up Girl Racer. I was wondering how long it would take you. Had to laugh at the 50-70 in top gear though...Mmmmmmm Clio has 5 gears......Cooper S has 6. No wonder there is a difference. James. PS Buy a copy of this months EVO and the verdict couldnt be more different. (Neither...

I think that blow it away is a definate definate over statment but I do think it would win. Straight line it definatley would not win against a Type R and nor would a 172. Handling wise I think the Cooper S is amazing. Still needs more power though for the straights and that is why the John...

3 years ago there were 7 of us who went down to Southampton to watch the blades in action. One of the lads managed to "borrow" an Arnold Laver transit van for the weekend as he worked there. Quite obvious who we were as Lavers were the United sponsor at the time. Feeling a bit peckish on the...

Show it some Veronicas action mate.

The tyres you are on about would be run flats which come as standard and are good for 100 miles when punctured as long as speed is kept below 50. Not suprised you found it to be very underpowered as torque only just pushes over 100 lb/ft and bhp is a measly 115. Get it out on a set of twisties...

I have only ever had a 15 minute blast in a 172 and that was an import from direct cars in Sheffield. Liked it a lot. That was last summer and was close to buying one but insurance at 20 was a killer. Very close to getting a saxo vts or Pug 106 GTI but got a mini cooper instead as I liked the...

Alright Griff hows it going mate? Good I hope. Bit slow replying to this one but I spoke to my Beemer dealer earlier today chasing up delivery on my Cooper S and mentioned this one to them. The guy just laughed and asked me if I had got rid of my Cooper yet which I did a few weeks ago. They are...

I test drove on the 17"s and they were probably a little harsher but style wise they look great IMO. Sun Roof is nice as it is a double panoramic one but it is pretty heavy I here and will slow things down a bit. I opted for the climate control instead. I got some G-tech figures comparing a...

It was something to do with a cable on the gear stick. The problem of it possibly sticking whilst in gear or something? Only the Cooper and One were recalled, not the S as this uses the Getrag six speed. Yeah optioning a Cooper S up can be expensive. Mine set me back 19 grand. That is with...

I might get me nan to embroid a Prada Sport emblem on me River Island Polo shirt tonight. Bet that would go down a bomb up West street with the lads on Saturday night.
