Its so nice, Im waiting for a quick drive in April.
Its a very metallic yet throathy sound. Very deep and resonant. 10x better than a Zonda sound.
When I get back to heaven I'll vid cam it or something so to capture the sound.

I actually think thats the same one that was at BDD...

GOT MY FIRST WAVE!! Got chased down by a black/black Cooper S today. I was doing 125km/hr and they chased me from about 1km back, flying down the highway just to catch me before my exit!! Got a big wave the plates were *** OXY heading north from the Gold Coast. Anyone from here??

[SupeRub]

Yeah Oxy used to hang out a bit,

Haven't heard anything from him in a while though

Rub

[kyl72]

Oh cool thanks Rub, thought from the friendly and enthusiastic wave they must have been or are a mini2er

Hi Todd,

You are on the right track Anyone who thinks they can get away from a cooper, just because they own a cooper S, needs their head examined

Craig (Willow 9) should take them for a drive, and whip them with his awesome stock cooper

I am a very experienced driver, and regularily beat porsches / ferraris, WRX's / EVO's etc on the race track, mainly due to the fact that the drivers of these cars can't drive

Craigs performance in his stock Cooper in Targa Tasmania is nothing short of legenday

Last year, I only just managed to beat him in my cooper S, over 5 days, and that was mainly due to a few high speed stages where I had the advantage Craig beat 2 other MCS's overall

People who underestimate the ability of a manual Cooper do so at their own risk

Never a truer word spoken

I have suprised a few S owners over the mountains

For the small amount of time i was on the road today i passed one EB MCS, overtook another EB MCS. Also saw two light green coopers and the Star FM's red mini cooper. Oh and DS MCS, only got a wave from the last one. Also passed old BRG mini who always returns the wave, nice to see.

Well, talk about a Mini-Spotter of a day...

1st: Saw MickyD drive past Fed Square at about 5pm tonight, recognised you from all the pics of your car in my thread about picking stripe colours That and your number plate. Waved, but, alas, was on the footpath with TUX parked over in the Fed Square parking, so... clearly... you didn't notice

2nd: Silver/Black Cooper S on the same stretch of road as I was leaving, waved, nothing.

3rd: Dark blue (still haven't got these colours down by heart..) / White roof Cooper S on the South Eastern Freeway going the opposite way, got a big wave out of him though...

4th: A second Silver/Black Cooper S on the freeway, no wave again

haha, you see, the SB/SB combo might be rare, but we always wave
