Looking for a daily hack.....

[shimmy]

And keep coming back to a Mini Cooper S

Anybody got any exercise of the supercharged, turbocharged or JCW version?

A friend of mine run a MINI Cooper S for a while as a commuter hack (when they were New) and said it was very thirsty for a 1.6 four pot + a bit of a squeeze for the over 6 footers Great chassis though once on the open road
Have a word with Rich (flatout) as he's run a JCW MINI for a while (IIRC), prior to his Z4MC .

will do

Cooper S 1.6 turbo post 2007 is much better on petrol, more miles to the gallon, lower tax band and faster, more comfortable apparently

I've driven the latest cooper works version, they are quite a feisty motor, sound quite good with the exhaust popping and banging too


Get one - it might teach you a few things about how to drive mate
