This happens all the time on my GP.

Leaking exhaust or normal behaviour for the car?

G-Man · Apr 17th, 2007, 05:57 PM

Normal behavior for the GP and S's

AlexF2003 · Apr 17th, 2007, 07:34 PM

its called a non optional extra

enjoy

Did you not test drive the car before you brought it

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo · Apr 17th, 2007, 09:06 PM

Mine seems to be popping more all the time. Love it

What do I need a radio/CD for anyway?

Now the good weather's here, just wind the window down and enjoy it even more!

Tigger.

Makes up for the lack of a decent sound system.

I could listen to that exhaust all day!

gpmick · Apr 17th, 2007, 09:21 PM

love the sound of exhaust popping
spend hours perfecting it

Even with a decent sound system, I find I use the mute button a lot so I can enjoy the car

Standard feature of supercharged Minis - Cooper S and GP

Nope.
If a car is new, or nearly new, hence fully factory warranted, i often buy without driving. I just do the important research first to make sure i want one.
The GP is my 99th car.

m1m0 · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:50 AM

Just to be clear, is that 99th this week, or the total figure?

Robboc · Apr 18th, 2007, 08:51 AM

Its a marvelous part of the car I find. Since I have had a reroute pipe done by GTT on the exhaust it sounds even better. I hear a free flowing manifold also helps increase pop.

Richard Crofts · Apr 18th, 2007, 09:47 AM

Feature of the car ... mainly the S but coopers and ONEs do it too.

s33gav · Apr 18th, 2007, 12:20 PM

try fitting a gtt manifold and then hear some serious popping, great fun

I never test drove my GP and I doubt many owners did........

I can not see how any one who bought a GP from new had the opportunity for a test drive.

Ordered the car from web and brochure details

Saw the car for the first time at the London motorshow

The next time I saw a GP was when I picked it up from the dealer.

I would imagine that most UK people had the same sort of experience when they bought it new.

Anyone buying secondhand would have had the opportunity of a good test drive.

Haha. Very good.

99 in 34 years, just under 3 a year, not so many really put that way!

PEAK JCWGP · Apr 18th, 2007, 05:01 PM

I agree with latter posters.
Most owners will not have test-driven it first. They will either not have had the chance or will have just bought it.
It's not rocket science.

Scream · Apr 18th, 2007, 07:32 PM

Had a six month test drive on the GP

So now you've finally got a GP, will your car tally stick at 99?
