Hardly slow Alex! I remember the GGR one was the fastest when EVO tested them all, but there is hardly anything in it really. All go very well

I sold my Escort Cosworth to buy my Mini Cooper S . As Sketch says mine’s been tweek a little 215-225bhp, certainly a lot of fun. Fuel consumption is terrible – worse than the Escort Cosworth!!!

I’m having a visit around the Mini Factory in Oxford this Tuesday to watch the cars being put together on the assembly line.
