Thinking of buying a cooper
Whats up mini people i have been looking at a bunch of new cars an one of them was a mini cooper. The reason why im looking for a new/different car is because Saturday night i hit a slick spot on an off rampan the back end came out an rolled 2 to 3 time befor it stopped on all 4 tires
, The car i drove was a 2004 Ford focus with about 2 k in just suspension parts, the car produce about 160 hp an 150 ft lbs with a 2.3L I-4, i was setting it up for Autox but was never able to get it on the track. I wore my seat belt (an i can tell you, all that dont wear it to wear it because it saved my *** big time, just look at the pictures) an only have a few scrach's on my leg from the glass an a little sore neck but not bad, other than that im fine.
Anyways the reason why i was looking at the Mini is because it has a 1.6L inline 4, 4 wheel disc, ABS, engineer by BMW (which we all know BMW doesn't make crap), an I fit in it (6'3"
).
what i need know is what do you like about the Mini?, How much do you pay for your mini in car insurance an what year? because i would like to get a cooper S
, how would you compair the 5 speed to the 6? are the parts compatable between the cooper an cooper S? these are just a few question i have for now an will get back to you later, in the mean time take a look at what i went threw saturday night.
