My father was visiting from out of town. He has owned 7 or so classic Mini's and was imppressed with the new one. I took the opportunity to take some footage. If you look close you can see the grin on his face.

5mb Video of Cooper S

Fantastic!!

I LOVED IT!!! I've watched it 5 times in a row!

Great images and wonderful sound. You are lucky to have a MINI road like that nearby.

Thanks for sharing that.

AprilWhine · Jul 6th, 2002, 10:30 PM

I think the S was designed with Colorado driving in mind!

LittleDeuceCoop · Jul 6th, 2002, 11:38 PM

Thanks, that was fantastic. What a beautiful stretch of road. Took an S almost exactly like that one for a test drive today. I know I didn't look that good around the bends though. Damn city driving. Great video, great sound. If you've got any more feel free to share. I doubt anyone would complain.

Fantastic

I watched it 3 or 4 times, and saved the link to show the wife. The wait for my MINI is agony, and clips like this and all the great pictures and test drive reports really help.

The file format is ASF. This is a Microsoft Windows Media Player format. You're probably using Quicktime only.

The latest version is available here:

great video

looks like you were having loads of fun

episcot · Jul 7th, 2002, 10:33 PM

I've known that driver for over 30 years. He really can drive faster than that! Thanks Kelly for the video!!

kcmini · Jul 7th, 2002, 11:23 PM

minigal,

Download Windows Media Player as said above. I have Mac OS X so I use version 7.

Control Click or right click (if you have a 2 button mouse) and select "save link as". This will download a .asf file which opens with Windows MP.

Yeah, I think he was taking it easy. I'm sure if the car was his those four wheels would have been smoking at the end of that drive!

I can't watch it in one go as it keeps stopping and buffering all the time. Is it possible to download the file and then watch it?

Thanks!

If you're using Internet Explorer: right click and do a "Save Target As". This should let you download it to your local system.

.
Still enjoyed every 300 km of them

Did you tell your dad not to "cane it" as he seems to be driving very gentile on a lovely stretch of road

Thank god for works 2mbps direct internet pipe

Dom mini cooper · Jul 8th, 2002, 05:43 AM

Hey, great video

I'm off to watch it again now

The sound is great

Love the bit where the car goes past the camera

QQQ · Jul 8th, 2002, 06:20 AM

Great video ficcion. Finally got a chance to watch it at work, cause my pc at home is crap.

Looks like your dad had a lot of fun there. Seeing him disappear in that last bend, the thought crossed my mind that he totally forgot about you. Did he return to pick you up or did you have to take a bus?

Markie · Jul 8th, 2002, 02:45 PM

Great footage ficcion. I just love the sound of the S. Waiting for my S all I had to live on was the memories of the test drive, now I can play your video.
