Hello Everyone!

I got my mini one at the end of last year and since then have been enjoying it a lot. It was second hand with low miles. I recently moved to the UK from New York, so this is my first car in the UK, and it's been loads of fun! (although down on power) :p

I also joined a morning run at the end of February where I met with some of you guys :wink: and then, went to Mini Mayhem at Goodwood & joined the rolling road day at AmD Essex the week after. All lots of fun (but the morning run was the most fun :D) Really looking forward to take the car on a track... Anyways here are some pictures...

It's a simple mini, not a lot of options at all, astro black exterior, piano black interior, white indicator lenses, no 'one' badge :p, chrome rings/exterior accents, darkened rear glass, 16inch wheels. That's it! :D

Here are the rolling road/dyno results of my one from Mar 1st :D:

I know some say that these engines are underrated. But I still believe this is a little bit too optimistic :) 108hp! Come on! The car is completely stock, no plans to mod the engine since you can't get anything out of the mighty 1.4 liter anyways :D

May be some suspension mods later on...

Anyways enjoy!

Great looking car very simple but works well.
Good news its putting out an extra 13hp too thinking bout getting mine remmapped so i'll post mine if I do get it done.

I hope you have many happy MINI adventures in him/her!?

hey Isik :D

I'm still impressed by your result at AmD, we didn't think your One was quite putting out the normal power for a One on Sams run :D

Thanks guys!

Ian, I wasn't expecting to hit 3 digits as well :D

I still think that 108 is quite optimistic :) but well, who's complaining? :D

Rochie, let us know the before&after power outputs if you do the remapping!
