A supercharged one has quite a few mods on it actually. If I do come in it I will slap the decat pipe on too.

If your there can you take us out in it mate please?

Definitely the Mini. Is it louder than the scooby?

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:23

Passenger rides are cool with whatever I bring. MINI only has 2 seats mind

With all the cats removed it is loud, but a different loud to the scooby! The supercharger whine is awesome too!

Will · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:38

I fancy a look at the mini, looks like a no expense spared sort of car, good spec!

Random mini related observation - one thing I've never understood is how/why the AP racing brake setup for the mini that you have is so cheap, its like £800 for the Cooper S, meanwhile for most other similar cars its over £1700.

Is it a GP then? What kind of power is it?

its a yellow stripped out pre facelift one. All the prefacelift (if thats the correct "term" for the old ones ?) cooper s' were supercharged.

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:49

Nope not a GP. Just no back seats! Can't be sure on exact power. Has front mount intercooler, induction, full exhaust, reduced pulley and various other things. Along with coilovers, AP racing brakes, strut braces everywhere, amongst other things.

I drove a stock Supercharged one and a Stock Turbo one, the Supercharger was preferable, nicer sound and way more low-down grunt, though the turbo model felt quicker once on the move.

I've always wanted a proper go in a tuned GP running circa 250BHP as they must be bloody amazing fun.

Sorry, I know your Scoob is a right machine, but the Mini it has got to be man, really hope you can make it on the day as going out in that thing will be awsome.

Skeeter · 19 Jul 2011 at 22:56

The new Mini chassis always feels like it could handle a good dollop of power without issue. I imagine one with 200-250BHP would be great fun!

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Jul 2011 at 23:18

Well that's settled then. I shall bring the MINI. Best find some time to slap the decat pipe on too

Gaijin · 19 Jul 2011 at 23:25

Why did you buy the mini out of interest?

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Jul 2011 at 23:36

Because it was a friends car and its got lots of great parts on it, and I thought why not, even if I don't keep it very long. Could make a small amount of money on it, but mainly just to enjoy having a great MINI.

Some mate you are

ScoobyDoo69 · 19 Jul 2011 at 23:42

He had already found the car he wanted to replace it with. So if anything, I did him a favour

I hope its dry on the day, not been a big fan of FWD and wet thus far

Gibbo I may run funds depending on the day. But if I do run, I will go last.

At least with FWD you will see the tree before you hit it
