| Advise needed, Stunt Driving Mini's
Hi Everyone
I'm thinking of replacing our current fleet of Toyota Yaris stunt driving school cars with Mini Coopers.
We dont need forced induction cars as the speeds we do aren't very high.
We've been running the Toyota's for more than 3 years with absolutely no mechanical problems whatsoever. The Toyota's have done thousands of jumps, 360 spins, handbrake turns, etc., with no problems at all.
The only thing we have done to them is change the oil once a year, and change tyres once a month. From the above you can gather that we've had a great run with the Toyota's. Reliabilty is very important to our business.
The only problem with the Toyota's is that a lot of people find them a little dull.....
We're thinking of 2002-2004 Mini Coopers,which I know nothing about.
Here's my questions..
Is there an automatic version, and is it reliable ? (we need at least one automatic, because lots of our customers cant drive manual)
Are Mini's tough, will they cope with thousands of jumps every year ?
We need a stack of spare wheels, is there a cheaper alternative to the stock mini wheels ?
Has anyone here fitted a hydraulic handbrake to one of these cars ??
Can the engines cope with a thrashing ??
Anything else I need to know regarding reliabilty ??
Thanks for your help
Kind regards
