Car for the missus.

My aging Focus was due for an update after 5 years and she had always been pestering for a Mini or Beetle.... well I wasnt going down the Beetle route.

Mini One with limited chrome.

17" Cooper S Wheels
Tinted windows
Usual silver interior plastic is painted a nice gunmetal.

Pretty nice steer and better on fuel than the 1.8 Focus. Probably wants a remap though.

I quite like it too, although its crap on corners - it doesn't really matter

Gonna snow this weekend, best get some winter tyres

Cheers It really looks the shiz in sunlight. Going to give it a good wash and wax this weekend if weather and time allows.

I agree, great choice of colour. too many silver or white cars about sometimes its like living in a black and white movie lol

El Torito ruins the entire thing imo

Great car otherwise!

Clown · 28 Oct 2011 at 20:46

Need to drive around with that sunset behind you all the time!

khare · 28 Oct 2011 at 20:47

Debatable, I've heard mixed opinions really. I'm known as "the guy with the spanish words on my bonnet" hahaha (I am spanish by the way!)

mrk · 28 Oct 2011 at 20:54

What does it mean? I just image Tomatoes now haha.

khare · 28 Oct 2011 at 21:00

Hahahaha! It's the diminutive of "The Bull" (Spanish national animal).

Thanks for clearing that up

LOL no plans to mod the car at all, it's not even run in yet! Although the remaps do take the car to 210bhp which is quite some increase!

Don't even think about it. Warranty void and no need anyway. With 180BHP in a car of that size it's perfectly balanced.

[TW]Fox · 28 Oct 2011 at 21:39

Nice little car you've got there Nath, but I think you've just been told with regards to the remap

Raymond Lin · 28 Oct 2011 at 21:42

Did you change the wheels ?

NathWraith · 28 Oct 2011 at 21:58

!

HA! Show me where I said I was going the re map it. Oh wait I didn't, I just said what gains are possible!

Nah they are standard "siri" wheels.

Clown · 28 Oct 2011 at 22:27

Mmmm voice activated wheels.
