I drive and work on any car I can get my hands on :)
My name is Kiara and I am a female automotive enthusiast. In my videos you will see content of all kinds of cars. Be it classic cars from a time long past, modern cars in Austrian Alps settings, or even some 4x4 action. I will not limit myself to any brands and am eager to drive and work on any car I can get my hands on!

Gosh, its the cleanest engine bay i saw! Never saw it like that
How did it happen?... Glad you're ok!
I will make a video explaining all about it + fixing it :)
I am sorry for you, a broken chain is a big issue. When will you make an episode of your new bike?
New video introducing the bike is coming soon :) therafter a small series of fixing it as well!
Such an enchanting young woman.!. Much love..
Thank you!!😊
Nice cooper s R56 ?
Yes :)
Is it normal for my R56 to consume oil over time? Like I have to top up my engine oil after 10k kilometers.
Pretty much normal yes! I check my oil level monthly. As long as you don't see blue smoke coming from your exhaust it's likely not too bad. I'd recommend doing an oil and filter change at least every 15k km anyways.
@@KiaraShiftsMuch to late in the Mini World..latest do it every 10000..i do it every 5000..
@@Outsourcer 15k is Mini's recommendation. It is also why I wrote "at least". But I agree, I do it every year which is usually every 8k km.
How Big are The rims?
These are 17 inch :)
Great philosophy and attitude.!. A very lovely woman with a cool mini and personality. Much love and respect.
Thank you so much! 😊
Great looking mini,sounds amazing,and a stunning location to take photos,your very lucky
Do you think it's a concern to get Super 95 E10 regularly? Or will it harm the engine?
It shouldn't be a concern as the manual suggests E10 or higher. However, I've heard of Minis that don't run smoothly and even get a check engine light from E10. Filling up with E5 miraculously fixes that sometimes. So I would suggest E5, especially if you have a JCW, E10 only occasionally.
@@KiaraShifts great thanks. Will stick to E5 for my Mini Cooper
Your mini Bayswater looks great,I like the blue accents on them 👍🏻
Thank you! 😊
Looks great 👍🏻
Chrome deletes always look so mean.
Good luck with the mini cooper s, she's deserves another video.🎉😊
Oh thank God finally someone that produces mini Cooper content. I’ve been starved of this lol
Hello, Can you tell me what exhaust system you have installed? Really nice sound Ty
It's the original exhaust of the JCW :)
Cheers to more great videos & content. Congrats on the first 1000!
Congratulations! Soon it's going to be a lot more
Well done on the 1000 subs 👍🏻

Glückwunsch zu den 1000 Abos 👍💥❤
Loved this video. Just gorgeous images. Thank you. You filmed it very nicely. Thanks for the sharing!🙏👍🤩🤩
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for making this video. The front brake disc heat shields on my R56 Cooper S were rotting away. Happened upon your excellent video. Very helpful.
I'm so glad it helped!
Nice bit of detail on the local area 🙂 I have looked at Khutai last couple of winters as i ski a lot, and was considering a season in Austria round the Innsbruk area, maybe and St Anton. Cool to learn the resort there is actually properly old and historic!! Beautiful as always, the Alps 🙂 No wonder the Rimac team wanted that backdrop. I took some photos of my Mini this winter in the Alps and it just makes it pop with the blue skies like you don't get anywhere other than in the high mountains also contrasted against the snow and dramatic landscapes 🙂
Thanks for watching! I'm always happy to show off the beauty of the Austrian alps. Very glad to hear from viewers experiencing the same feelings in the mountains 😊
Looks great,I think the extra bright lights and loud colours make for artistic and mysterious photo opportunities in petrol stations,maybe I’ll be the next Andy Warhol or something 😂😂😂
Had a brake disc backing plate rust through on a second car i had and was advised i could opt to leave it off... reading around i found the same thing you menioned about prevention of road dirt and small stones getting into the brake disc/pads and causing damage or excess wear, and also they prevent excess heat causing any issues with pipe and tubs etc that may be behind them relative to the sources of heat. So needless to say the part was replaced 🙂 Don't want my brakes failing in the UK, never mind on an Austrian Alpine road 🙂
I'm glad you chose to do your own research! Better safe than sorry :)
@@KiaraShifts True dat, good brakes are very important 🙂
How do you adjust the rebound on the rear dampers?
Wenn ich mir deinen Mini bei 0:45 so anschaue fällt mir auf das der Winterreifen vorne rechts wohl entgegen der Laufrichtung montiert ist. Also das Rad müsste auf die linken Fahrzeugseite. Aber ansonsten ein schönes entspannendes Video :) Und für deinen Musikgeschmack gibt's definitiv einen Daumen nach oben 👍
Sehr gut erkannt! Das war noch als ich einen Versuch gestartet hatte, um den Grip im Schnee bei falscher Radlaufrichtung zu testen. Kam leider zu keinem Video, da es keinen großen Unterschied machte. Danke 😊
So schlecht sahen sie eigentlich noch gar nicht aus, da habe ich schon bedeutend schlimmere Ankerbleche gesehen 😆Aber ich ziehe meinen Hut vor deinem Durchhaltevermögen. Ich hätte mir wahrscheinlich die Bleche wenn überhaupt neu gekauft und mir die Arbeit und den Schmutz erspart 😆 Aber an solchen Dingen erkennt man halt wie sehr man sein Auto liebt ✌
Vielen Dank! Ich wollte ursprünglich auch einfach neue Ankerbleche kaufen, leider gibt es nur die vorderen. Also aus alt mach neu 😊
GREETINGS FROM LATIN AMERICA, YOUR VIDEO IS GOOD, VERY COOL! SALUDOS QUE ESTÉS BIEN .
Thank you! Glad you like it 😊
Der GP Spoiler ist jetzt sicher auf nem andern Mini drauf😁
Great video 👍🏻 Loving the adjustable spanner microphone 😂
çok iyi video ;)
It's lacking not only oil temperature gauge, it doesnt's even have oil temperature sensor. I would add another drawback - tailgate is ALWAYS dirty due to R56 aerodynamics. Wash it and after 100m it's covered in dust again.
The dirty rear is a very good point! Especially if you have a black R56 :(
Did you ride with Misha on the Nurburgring recently??
I wish but no :)
music ?
Hi,it looks very beautiful there in Austria and some lovely roads,is this with the kw fitted,I have kw v2 on my r50 and love them,they were close to the inner tyre too but got away with it as my wheels were oem,I’ve subscribed to your channel 👍🏻
Thank you! I have the KW V2 and am obsessed! It makes a huge difference in cornering these windy roads. Love your Mini!
Just to let you know, there is a trick to know the temperature in the menu… you can find a guide here on YT
Thank you for the comment! It only shows the water temperature as far as I'm concerned... but also this only shows when stationary, not while driving.
That is a rare sight.. a woman washing a car.. you MUST be unmarried as we married men know that this is our job and a woman's car is a driving trashcan!
You ditched your Mini????
Of course not! I just added a two wheeler!
Look at those beautiful mountain in the background. Idk where they are at but it is amazing!
These are the Austrian alps :)
@@KiaraShifts Stunning!
Time to have a go but in red 😅 wish me luck
Nice video, I have a stage 2 R56 N18 amd a I don’t have any issues at all. One of the best things of these cars is the interior, at some alcantara and it’s the closest thing that you can have that looks like a Singer without spending 1 million dollars
Run flats are even harsh on shorter trips Jose is very right ,Mini seats could be more comfortable also.
.. I came for the new hair cut as well, not just the bike 🏍️ hehehe 😝! Interesting you’ve posted this up, just got off the phone talking about buying a motorbike myself. Giving my R56 a break and time for some TLC 🚗💨 💛 🖤
Very cool! There will be new videos up about the motorcycle soon 😊
Nice mini what year is your mini ?
Thanks! It's a 2012 Cooper S :)
dear kiara, impressed by your command of more than one language and your technical prowess. i own five minis, three original mini minis and a cooper and a cooper s. would be interested in an exchnage of information as i also live in the tirol. not sure whether this is the apprpriate place for such a comment.
Thank you for your comment! I'm always happy to meet and talk cars! I'll be at several car meets this year, maybe we could see each other then. I always post when I go to a car meet on my instagram story.
Yep dont go on spacers, definitely not recommended, vibrations on high speed and unsafe, better go with a lower ET wheels and problem solved...
At the very least wear some gloves to protect those hands.
You may notice the bright yellow gloves the moment I start working with paint :)
