My new ride...S Works..

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Absolutely love it. Best Colour too!

Good choice sir.

 

[Clart]

prefer the clio tbh. whats going on with chicken wire mesh and chav'd lights on the rear? imo loose all the spots

 

[ForceIndia]

Warren, its not too bad tbh, between 22-28mpg, same as the R27 was..tho when gunning it last night head to head with a Focus ST, it was showing mid teens..

3 spoke wheel.

Excellent, the 2 spoke wheel is beyond s**t. Buckets of pace, would pull on a 197 with ease. Has it got the diff?

 

[R20 CWH]

looks guid
like the looks and the spots. Colour is superb.

think youll hate the mpg and will be worse than the R27. However probably a step up in build and quality. Pace wise, good wee dollop of torque

 

[Moby]

More pics of said new ride ...

 

[bmh.01]

Minto, not keen on the spots at all though.

 

[ForceIndia]

I'd get rid of the spots, de-chrome, and get some proper (ie not run flats) tyres on it.

 

[Sheila’s’ Wheels’]

Excuse my ignorance, is this a turbo or Supercharged one?

 

[Atthistime]

supercharged

 

[Adamski182]

Nice car, but by the end of the month you will be on first name terms with the manager of your local filling station !!! thats the reason i got rid of my S

 

[VeinAST]

Ooft Alan, what a ride

Mini's not bad either!!

Need some pro pics done by the Vee owner

 

[Ally]

Xenons I presume lol?

Loving it, spots make it for me too. But if they're definately impacting on the cooling/performance then lose them all, pointless on a car like that.

I'll hook you up with some decent pics if you want?

 

[alex-avfc]

Very suprised...looks good though, keep the spots. Supercharger whine sounds great in these

 

[rory182]

Did you drive past mine earlier?

Thought I heard a power steering whine!!!!

Best colour IMO, enjoy!

 

[Naith]

no bad, not for me but id buy the missus one

 

[Alan]

Dont like the spotties. But nice car.

Whats the spec on these al.

210 brake, all the options on this one...silly money new.

looks the bizzo, think 2 spots will be better than two, but dont worry about the overheating, as said before, the radiator is approx 20% oversized on these cars. the engine is over engineered for the current stresses it encouters.

You know your stuff mate, been doing a bit of reading, seems there's a fair bit more to them than what people think.

prefer the clio tbh. whats going on with chicken wire mesh and chav'd lights on the rear? imo loose all the spots

Rear lights i'd actually never noticed till you said mate..hmm may change them too.

Excellent, the 2 spoke wheel is beyond s**t. Buckets of pace, would pull on a 197 with ease. Has it got the diff?

Ah ok..nah no diff on this one, its only the GP Works that gets the diff even tho its only got another 8bhp LOL

Ooft Alan, what a ride

Mini's not bad either!!

So true mate LOL

Xenons I presume lol?

Xenons indeed..its the only way we roll.

Some proper pics of it would be good yeah.

Thought I heard a power steering whine!!!!

Best colour IMO, enjoy!

Nah not been in town since last night man..aye the steering is a bit whiney..


Cheers all.

 

[R20 CWH]

120 at the bridge i hope.

 

[ChrisPearson]

Nice car,better than a clio in most ways apart from the interior i really dont like it.

 

[nth]

good move i like it

 

[Alan]

Thanks for all the comments, it was never going to be to everyones taste but hey ho.

 

[Englebert]

Cracking little cars.

 

[ForceIndia]

The diff was on option for later S' iirc.

 

[koi]

You need to get a decent camera lol, looking good anyway. Would lose a couple of the spots though.

 

[Guppy]

Mint

Bet that pulls well

Trying to get the Mrs into one

 

[Gally]

Good choice mate, it'll look a lot fresher and tidier minus the spots.

Miss your face.

 

[young_lew]

Very nice, Cooper S (non works) will be my next car

 

[Rob R26r]

I like it (apart from the spots). Good colour choice too.

 

[Christopher]

Lovely stuff. Not a fan of the whine, but they are nippy!

Good buy!

 

[Dan R]

Great cars and fabulous chassis!!

 

[Sarah]

nice new bus alan

 

[Ally]

The diff was on option for later S' iirc.

And IIRC it wasn't a costly option either - £125 comes to mind (like a lot of folk I've once specc'd up "my" Mini" on their website LOL) - but not a lot of folk take it.

 

[Rasclart]

Nice but ditch those Spot lights they look wrong!

 

[Darren S]

Definitely not something I'd go for Al, but it would be good to hear how you get on with it.

D.

 

[Alan]

Mixed reviews on the spot lamps.

Darren, i never really seen my self in a Bini either, hairdresser/girls car etc..but tbh i wanted a good blend of everything, the clio was starting to get on my nerves and after 3 i thought fvck it i want to try something else.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Loose the spots!

 

[ForceIndia]

I'd get rid of the spots, de-chrome, and get some proper (ie not run flats) tyres on it.

Loose the spots!

Speaking sense tbh.

 

[TomS]

Really nice! Needs better wheels though.

 

[Aluco]

Like it, I nearly got one instead of the 182.

 

[Alan]

Speaking sense tbh.

You maybe right matey.

Really nice! Needs better wheels though.

Not sure what tho mate, BBS, Turini's?

Like it, I nearly got one instead of the 182.

Loved my 182 mate but as expressed above i wanted a change.

 

[Poopensharten]

What time shall you be down tonight sir>?

Im currently in my scratcher recovering from last night....
