is it just me...
But twice this week i have struggled to get away from mini cooper S
The first instance was coming onto the motorway..the Cooper S (works edition) wouldn't move out of the way, and i didn't have the extra punch to get past him when he eventually moved over.. i paid my respects and flashed my hazards..
Second time at traffic lights... just a normal Cooper S... and i was only about a cars length ahead by the time we hit a roundabout.. my 4-pots allowed me to break later than him.. but never the less.. i was well surprised...
It's got me thinking... maybe my next car should be a mini.. was tempted to get a twin turbo supra.. move up the power chain.. but???

Thats what i'm thinking.. maybe i need to get it on some rollers and see what it's pushing?
Its a 96 import, running 15psi, HKS intake with decat...so i would have thought enuf to kill a mini?
I bet the power to weight ratio is pretty close?
