This is my pride and joy, I absolutly love her to bits. She's a pure silver Mini One with lots of extras as you'll notice. I've always been a massive fan of minis old and new and finally i decided to get one! I've owned her since Feb '08 (Paid £6500, 45k on clock) and i've loved every mile of it. Tell me what you think everyone

specky001 · Apr 21st, 2008, 11:05 PM

What extras have you got? Guessing they're on the interior??

m_cooke999 · Apr 22nd, 2008, 11:41 AM

Alloys, stripes, cd player inside ect...

m_cooke999 · Apr 22nd, 2008, 08:57 PM

RyanK · Apr 23rd, 2008, 02:26 PM

Nice Clean example there! Glad your enjoying it!

Any plans?

..Blackadder.. · Apr 23rd, 2008, 07:04 PM

Not that far out lol some quality roads down that way

i think some cooper s side skirts would look mint on your car and i just happen to know where some are going at a good price

Hi There

Thats a nice clean looking ONE you have there

What are your plans for it or are you gonna keep it as it is?

Well, i've fitted a K&N panel filter but i don't really want to modify the looks of it as i don't want to look like a boy racer like i did when i modified my old car which was a saxo 1.1... I've been considering a Cooper S spoiler but really i'd need a black roof for that. I may tint the rear 3 windows but again, i dont want to do anythin that will devalue the car..

I think i'll jus keep her as she is and then in a few years when my insurance is lower i'll get a cooper s JCW.

Weemann · Apr 27th, 2008, 02:57 AM

ur car is nice but 2 make a small but necessary change u gotta get the clear side repeaters......................................... . makes it look nicer but not boy racer

m_cooke999 · May 9th, 2008, 04:25 PM

Nar, i only want to change things that people will notice or that will improve the performance of my mini... Like bluefin, which im considering purchasing... Or i might just wait a while and get a Cooper S

m_cooke999 · May 21st, 2008, 07:42 PM

Just intalled Bluefin on my car and i'm amazed with the result! At 3k you can really feel it start to take off and after 4k it just explodes into action and its crazy how fast it accellerates...

Really impressed with Bluefin, deffinatley worth every penny of the £299 i paid... My ONE's a little pocket rocket now! it puts a smile on my face every time i floor it!! Now its got speed to match the incredible handling

*Vikki* · May 21st, 2008, 07:53 PM

nice one you have there, would look nice with bigger wheels now

m_cooke999 · May 21st, 2008, 07:55 PM

mmm don't tempt me, I dont want to spend any more really. I love her the way she is, i might get a little bluefin or lohen decal and put it somewhere on the car though

*Vikki* · May 21st, 2008, 07:57 PM

haha big wheels dont cost too much though..

Ahhh bless you

Yet another satisfied customer, and yet another reason for me to get one

m_cooke999 · Jun 14th, 2008, 06:00 PM

Still enjoying the mini, absolutly loving the kick i get as soon as i hit 4k revs! But i don't seem no notice it as much anymore, maybe because im used to it? Anyway im getting it dyno'd in 2 weeks to check out what BHP it is, ill post the result here

m_cooke999 · Jul 19th, 2008, 02:35 PM

Just had my Mini dyno'd at MiniSport and here are the figures :-p I'll post the graph later on:

Max BHP = 129.5 @ 6010rpm
Max Torque = 112 Lbf-ft @ 5070rpm

Im well impressed with the BHP, certainly worth the money for the Bluefin!!!!

Also, on my way to MiniSport my lil baby passed over 50,000 miles

Weemann · Jul 20th, 2008, 02:56 PM

woah...thats impressive, you got any other engine modifications cos for just a bluefin thats some serious gain, hope mine has that much!!!

m_cooke999 · Jul 20th, 2008, 09:32 PM

Yer i've just got a panel K&N air filter but thats it. I'm really pleased with the bluefin gains, i'd reccomend one to any ONE owner
