Mini one Vs Mini Cooper S

I've Just got my mini one back from the Tuners, they've managed to get 192 bhp from it!!!

The car only cost 11K + 2K for the engine work.
I went out for a spin with my mate who spent well over 16K on his cooper S and left him standing!!!

Apart from the bonnet needing chaging it doesnt look much different Dont think I'll go for messing around with crappy body kits and union jacks roofs. All the fannying around people do with their mini's are starting to make them look common and "Low income family."

It sure is quick nonboyracer, especially when you raced me away from the lights last night. I was a bit sceptical when you said what you were doing, but it's amazing.

Even better, seeing as you're in the Oxfordshire area (I believe) why don't you come along to the MINI2 Dyno Day at Bicester, be good to squeeze you in if somebody is a no-show or has any trouble, we've already got a range of One's, Cooper's and S's head to head on the day?

Let me know.

I like to think so
Steve Rothery is a bit of a hero of mine. I just love the way he plays guitar.

I love Marillion. My god, I'm admitting that out loud. But they are a cool (kind of) band.

Must admit I haven't seen them live for a couple of years. But being old have seen them live about 35 times...I actually went to every gig on the misplaced childhood tour...
My other half always carries a scottish pound note signed by Fish in her purse...
