Bye Bye Vee - New car content.

[SaraJ]

I don't think i've seen one in the flesh, but looks good!

 

[withoutabix]

welcome to the club addz looks epic if i do say so my self!

carbon touches on yours are very nice indeed!

you on any of the Mini forums yet?

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Excellent swap IMO!

Plans sound good also

 

[chris_p]

Very nice mate, although the M3 next to it is better

What is it like to drive? Do they lsd? How does it handle the power, much torque steer etc?

I'm not a fan of the wheels either, but personally I'd keep them as it's a GP and they're the GP wheels, daft to change. The leggas dont look right either tbh

 

[Addz]

Cheers mate
Yeah signed upto minitorque the other day and i think i'm still a member on mini2 but never really liked that forum.. carbon bits set the car off well i recon, not to sure on the scoop though so might get my spare one sprayed car colour and stickered up.

 

[Addz]

Haha thats my mates new toy.. bit quicker that mine but not as much as i expected tbh.

Drives brilliantly, like a go-kart! They come with LSD, torque steers a little bit but not enough to notice really, feels really different to my old MCS

 

[ForceIndia]

Such a weird car. Strip the rear, but then don't put buckets in the front? Special cars, but for the money I'd rather a works with the lsd, coilovers and engine work.

 

[EllD90]

These are my mate's seats:

Too sexy! He'd probably sell them if you were interested.

 

[tommys]

cool car tbh. I've always liked the works mini's. Never seen a GP one though.

Looks awesome.

 

[Pep]

I like it mate!

Just out of interest what happened to the V6, did you p/x it in?
Wasn't at DS Cars by any chance?

Having just searched, I believe so. Never have I seen such lies in an advert!

 

[young_lew]

Hero's car.

The end.

 

[Keith185]

Love it, awesome car :approve:

T'was indeed!

I know! :s traction control?!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Awesome, the quicker car out and out.

An avid fan of the GP ill never understand not being able to spec xenons (daft!)

 

[katiecliogirl(brigg)]

like it, always liked minis, not sure on the spoiler, but its nice, do u miss the vee at all? that was nice to lol x

 

[jenic]

Only just noticed this.

Very nice choice of car :approve:

 

[Darren S]

how are you going to get any clunge in the back??

nice mini btw

S

I thought that was the advantage to them? He could hand-cuff them to the bar so they couldn't escape?

D.

 

[Jason_E]

Nice car! These look so much better in person than any picture IMO. Also have a cool sound. But what's with the US Spec front bumper (With side markers)?

 

[Ian_182]

Im not a massive fan of mini's but i can appreciate a special model like this.

Also plus points that you are tuning it straight away...

 

[.GAZ.]

Well done ya big fairy!!!

Your Vee sounded frickin awesome tho! (Even better than Big Iains!)

 

[Ian_182]

I imagine this will be just as thirsty as the vee if not more...

 

[Addz]

Not too bad at the mo, averaging 22mpg at the mo which is decent, i recon that'll soon drop though when its got the cams and 550cc injectors in mind...

 

[Dave..]

Twas quick enough last night, cams aren't needed!

I'm so depressed with the clio now :dapprove:

 

[Addz]

Haha i can't have Jon lording it over me in his M3, mines not far off now but to be faster would be pretty funny...

Get that clio binned and get a mini

 

[Gray]

I want a taste

 

[Gally]

Fantastic mate. Great mods also.

Also don't change the wheels or too much of the exterior. It's ltd edition.

 

[jamie.91]

why do gp's not come with colour coded trim around the arches ect ?

 

[Waitey]

That or a TVR?

You bender.

 

[Englebert]

No Mini does as standard...

 

[R20 CWH]

nice, like them and the mods are good as well.

 

[Gally]

Am I right in saying Rob, Mini offered to colour code them for £1,000 maybe?

 

[BREMBO]

Thats cool, not as cool as V though

Where did she go ?

 

[Addz]

That or a TVR?

You bender.

I know... a bright orange T350 came past work today and i died a bit inside... but it'd be the same as the vee, everytime i heard a noise when i was giving it some i panicked too much and couldnt really enjoy it!

Thats cool, not as cool as V though

Where did she go ?

Went to a garage called D.S cars in litchfield..

 

[Marky_]

Interesting

 

[Ollie82.]

This would be the only Mini i'd ever get......but instead of the Vee or an Exige??! Loon.

 

[Rob Clark]

Ahh i knew i recognised the plate. Saw your mini there and your old Vee as was same place i picked trophy up from
He had a nice r26r there too when i had a mooch round

Cracking car

 

[brisa4984]

down grade imo. but fair enough tho.

should have gone t350, exige (would have been cheaper this time of year), boxter 3.2 facelift!, m3?

Did you get the trophy recently? Saw a nice one there when i picked mine up!

Yeah its a bit of a downgrade i suppose, TVR i'd have loved still but didnt want the constant worrie of a expensive bill which stopped me from enjoying the vee really, M3's are nice but my mate just got one, boxter didnt really do it for me, looked at a few 911's but again they wouldnt be that much of a fun car.

 

[Dave..]

You need to have witnessed the boys driving style, to appreciate why he likes small chuckable cars
