bullerboY Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I had two and deffo not gay,anyone moaning about the new one obviously hasn't driven one.The old mini was a car for its time and a poor one at that,you are right cheap and crap and who wants to spend their weekends getting sh*t up.

Fine line Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Once things so quintesentially British like the mini, Aston Martin, Jaguar and Cadbury's etc etc, are sold to foreigners, thats it, the magic has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratter71 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Also my third and final one..... http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=mini+coupe&hl=en&biw=711&bih=346&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=-EmSekghqxSIBM:&imgrefurl=http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/News/Search-Results/First-Official-Pictures/Mini-Coupe-Concept-coming-your-way-in-2011/&docid=cQlSQ7X68YxmPM&imgurl=http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/upload/20498/images/MiniCoupe03.jpg&w=824&h=457&ei=2xubTs6ALcrrOcXEvYkK&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=129&vpy=59&dur=1497&hovh=167&hovw=302&tx=162&ty=74&sig=113090956552800838832&page=1&tbnh=162&tbnw=282&start=0&ndsp=2&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0 Forgive me but jeebaz who designed that and more importantly why? it looks as tho the puegot engineers had a JD or 12 too many while trying to make the RCZ so instead they recycled it and sent it to mini on a poundland deal so yes im not impressed by that and i doubt ill be buying one when it is put out for sale. to be fair that looks like a modernised mini marcos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 By making it faster, more luxurious, more efficient and better handling. All could be done on the original Mini. A Jack Knight five speed box was to die for! Stick a Metro 1.3 ERA Turbo in a Mini and it would fly, same with the top spec Metro interior. Handling was already superb.

I used to love showing up the kids in Rotherham and Chesterfield town center with my 1275 GT. It was full race prepared apart from roll cage. 6 extra engine struts just to stop the thing ripping itself apart. All those poor XR2i's and XR3's i ruined In fact, i wasn't really scared of much apart from the suicidal Renault 5 GT turbo (wish i had one of those) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 My 1275 was standard in yellow with a brown vinyl roof I painted white. It was a fantastic car which only cost me £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Anyhow, the 'new' BMW-made vehicle is in no way a Mini. Merely attaching a the name of a trendy UK 1960s status symbol to a German company's 21st. C. product is sheer impertinence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
