Mini Cooper S - BUSGO - 11-12-2008
I have an opportunity to get a good late model Mini Cooper S Chilli.
Does anyone here have one or know someone with one that can vouch for them?

Busgo, I don't know if your after power but i just watched top gear season
4 ep 7 & a mini cooper (not S ) got it's arse kicked on the top gear track by
wait for it a skoda fabia BRS DIESEL. think carefully

Thanks Greeny. I'll do a bit of Youtube surfing to see what I can find.
Faaarck I wish I could afford a Skoda...
I think the Supercharger on the S would make a big difference.
It's the look, ride, finish and quality that I like on the MINI.
The Cooper S has about 128kw as opposed to the standard Cooper of 90kw.
Any other offers of info?

Go for it Busgo.
Great looking car that would handle like its on rails in my opinion.
When I was a mechanic I used to work for Miniworld in Eliz St in Melb.
All they did were minis and mini mokes and Leyland P76's if anyone remembers those!!!!
Must admit I didn't like working on them but they are a fun car and have come along way now...nothing like they were.

At least they are made by BMW now so there should be no quality issue's.
at the right price i'm sure you will be happy.

The minister of finance seems agreeable to the commitment.
I may be doing a bit less ZOOM ZOOM in the MAZDA and a bit more VROOM VROOM soon.

Done deal.
Now I have to read the handbook.
