Silly question, didn't they discontinue making the mini? Or was it just the original that they quit making?

HEY! I made that!

Look, we were on the way to the pub on a Friday Lunchtime and I had the cam on me. He only got the car two days before. AND I had Mike Cooper (Son of John Cooper), begging us not to release it before March 6.

As you can see the date is long before that, and I was going to go and post it anyway, hence the cuting of much footage.

Anyway, we have a trip down to Devon in two weeks and they'll be a video in that. We'll have:

- Mini Cooper S Works
- Golf V6 4Motion
- Audi S3

And some hairy moments no doubt. I'll let you know if the next vid gets hosted.

PS: The car was still being run in! Couldn't go over 4000 RPM, but it's run in NOW! ;)

Anyone got a real price? I know it has nice build quality and a nice drive and with 200 horsepower must be a good ride, but still for that money it seems like at least performance wise it's not the best deal. And by "that money" I am guessing as to how much it will be.

The total price of the car in the video was arounf £21,000. This includes HK Sound, Full length Sun Roof, half leather, etc, etc.

The Works conversion was around £3,000, and he got a custom licence plate(only £250).

DAMMIT! It's a preview!! If you can get another video of this car (Bearing in mind that the one you see is number --10--) be my guest!

Like I said, I'll be getting more action in the next two-three weeks when we do the run down to Devon.
