A grand day out

[John185k]

Took a wee trip up Knockhill direction and took a few snaps, nothing special, just to fill a day...

[Jamie _Swales]

[Nafoff]

pics look good with the snow....

is that an after market kit on the mini...or a limited edition...its in need of different wheels to in my opinion

 

[John185k]

Its an american bodykit that has been fitted since new. His good wheels are off the car for the winter... like mine.

 

[Nafoff]

ah ok...looks like a good day

[steve a]

172's looking good almost retro. but that mini looks over weight!

 

[Turkish]

nice pics, mini looks terrible though IMO.

 

[Rich]

Nice set of pics, hate the mini though to, think the colour makes it look worse than it is.

 

[Ali]

Great pic mate...esp 2nd last one. That mini is off the hook.

 

[Brazo]

Looking good mate!

 

[Djw John]

work in livi, you probably have mate. You stay in w.lothian lad?

[Ad]

Good pics!! Minis not my cup of tea tobhl, although like the colour.

 

[GarethM]

nice pics mate looks like a good day

 

[Zorba_the_greek]

That mini looks like it would shift abit!

 

[miketheman2k]

I think that mini looks alright, its the best bodykit I've seen on one yet. Can't stand the usual dealer-fit crap that they stick on. Would look sweet in gunmetal or black.

 

[badinvincible]

Nice bridge, 172 isn't bad either

 

[John185k]

Cheers guys, my mates mini is a cooper so 115 bhp. With powerflow backbox and typhoon air filter it was pushing out 127 bhp at mini sport. We got it chipped last month and is sittin at 139. The chip makes a great difference to throttle reponse, however is still nowhere near a match for the 172 or my classic mini tec. Torque is slightly up, handles well with the spax.


He has a classic also and we have a project mini that is awaitin a 2.1 redtop going in... to cold at the mo too.....:S

 

[John185k]

Eviljohn, flag me down next time u see me. I live in Edinburgh but in livi most days. What area you stay in??

 

[Djw John]

I stay in Eliburn and Im always between there, East Calder or Edinburgh. Will keep an eye out and loving the vtec, I will have a proper mini at some point!
