There was i , purring up the A1, when a car cut in front of me and went up the slip road, now it just happened to be mine as well, up i go and follow him around the roundabout. The way he was driving just begged a chase, so i thought i'd give him the lead and i would follow for a while, pretend to be outclassed and then unleash the full fury of a 3.0l V6 Twin Turbo 14psi monster, come up to him and pass as easy as you like. What do they say, the best laid plans of mice and men.... PASS him, i couldn't even catch the f00ker...

 

Whilst i was being humiliated, i managed to catch a glimpse of the model, it said something like Mimi, mint, mini, something like that and had some word on the boot looked like Coppet, copped or coope, well what ever it was, it has made me question my whole existence, i always thought i was showing restraint by not breaking limits and showing everyone a clean pair of heels, now i know what it was, i was already at full power and couldn't if i tried..

 

There is only 2 explanations, 1 my car desparately needs looking at because it's probably running on 3 cylinders..or 2 that car had a B1 bomer engine strapped to it,

 

So now thinking of selling up and buying a go cart!

 

Rich

a tesco shopping trolley would out drag mine at the moment ............

i heard that the new ones were turbo's and didnt pull too well, but just before i posted this point i did google it just to be sure

tbh i dont think it really matters, we drive a zed a unique car that looks the dogs. id rather have my Zed than a new mini, and id rather have a old mini over a new mini too, at least the old one had style, the new one just looks like it crashed into a parked dog.

 

PS, if you don't race, you cant get beaten lol

i guess it makes it easier to wind up the boost for more power though...

seems silly binning the s/charger as having driven 2 types of charger i would have a super over a turbo all day long..much better power delivery imho
