Well, not a 480hp variant, but a scream at that.

'08 Mini Cooper S, Astro Black/White, abundant option packages, 6sp, blast to drive. New parts hauler.

 

Are they fun to drive?

 

Very.

 

I love the Mini Cooper S its a great car but I do prefer the pre facelift model for the simplicity and less of the bloated look. Its a go kart on wheels your going to love it.

 

70K+ miles on mine and I'm still loving it

 

Amazing drive...

 

Just out of curiosity, what are the tuners doing to the Minis?

 

Change out those side markers already...

 

Eric, great car. Nice lookin'.

BTW, did you photoshop that Bumperplug sign in?

 

NOt quite as simple as the Porsche. The lights are embedded in the fender trim, and you have to remove a boatload of trim to get to them. There is an easier option - some suppliers to the Mini community have a dark tinted film that lays onto the lens and does the trick. But the 'sidemarkers' are scuttles on the higher section of the fender near the a-pillar, and those are clears. I also opted for clear rear/front, so there is no amber, plus the Xenons carry that theme nicely.

Great road trip this past week....450 miles, mostly rural hwy, handled great.

Jeff, that's out in front of Global Headquarters.
