I've just had a look at the images that are available from the home page of this site.

It would appear to me that the Cooper S is desperately trying to look better than the Cooper.

Most of the comments that accompant the Cooper S pictures can actually be applied to the Cooper too.

And when you begin to look at the images of them both side by side you really begin to appreciate the looks of the Cooper over the Cooper S.

I think there will always be a rival between the two models, but hey, Cooper S has a massive insurance grouping and hence cost. And at the end of the day the Cooper is capable of doing over 120Mph and when you drive a MINI it's all about handling, not racing off from the lights.

I mean, I raced a Golf GTI Turbo onto the motorway yesterday and I raced past it at 90 mph on what could only be compared with a large round about. The cornering was AMAZING - oh, and did I tell you it was raining hard !!

I never saw it again - MINI 1 : VW 0.

So - Who needs the Cooper S when you have the Cooper. It shares the same suspension, wheels, interior, chasis etc.

Does anybody share these thoughts...?
