So 20 years past still this car is so unique !

The best MINI ever made!

He has come a long way since those days :D

Funny how he starts off with, "Some say..." I love my R53. Most fun car I've ever owned.

Love my old r53 modded they are pretty quick and youd be suprised what they'll keep up with

I’m just about buy an 03 plate with just 24k miles on the clock…. Can you tell me is there much of a difference performance wise compared to 04-06 models ? Cheers.

I never sold mine. :-)

Minis are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Almost used that opening for my Ap English exam…

I like how little the body rolls during corners. I usually end up catching up with a wimp and needing to brake mid bend 😂 I have the turbocharged clubman. A bit of lag but not too bad. Most of the lag is if I've just come out of puttering through a village at 30 in 6th but if it's up to speed on a motorway it can pull straight away

Sorry, if you're one of the three "people" that disliked this video, you're a heartless ogre.

Or, theyre one of the countless dissatisfied owners of these horrid little cars. I was once one of those people, and I'm now very happy to say I managed to sell mine to some other poor bastard that thought it would be a good idea to buy one. They'd have been a great car if they had used an engine that wasnt such a unreliable pile of scrap, I'd trust a vintage Mini engine more than this garbage. What a waste.

dont get me wrong, I love the way the look (except for the newest ones...gross), and they do handle like a super-sized go kart, but the reliability issues alone make it a ticking time bomb.

Not 2001. The BMW Mini came out in 2001 but the Cooper S version didn't come out till 2002

Exactly what I was gonna say as the cooper s wasn't launched until 2002. Hence why there is the cooper s 02 register for all the first ones. My mate owns one of the first batch off the production line.

Not a Cooper s Gerry. if he owned a mini in 2001 then it would of been a standard W10 engine cooper model. If it was a cooper s then it wouldn't have been until 2002.

Ok fella. You probably did outrun one but sorry to tell you he was probably only using 10% throttle while you were hanging on the rev limiter because he wasn't racing you. But if it made you feel happy for a few seconds then that's great but don't try telling that story to anyone else as you may just get laughed at 🤣🤣
