MK7 GTD & Mini GP
Recently sold my R56. It was a great car, enjoyable to drive, but the miles were starting to creep up a notch and I wanted to get rid before the value starting falling off a cliff. Prior to the R56 I owned an R53 (Supercharged) car which had been fettled slightly, it was quick however it just lacked something, hence me getting rid.
After I sold the R56, I had no idea what I was going to get, was originally going to take over my brothers Ibis White S3 (Ben_p on here), but that didn't happen so began looking. Had the delight of renting a Ford KA for a few days and then I stumbled across this little beauty. Always wanted a GP, and its an absolute minter too, picked it up from a guy in Newcastle who had maintained it really well, only got 30k on the clock. Goes like stink, its very involving to drive and has a real 'f**k you' look, which for a Mini, is pretty hard to achieve.
Im off to the ring in it on October 5th, will be with a mate of mine in his Clio 197 F1 too. If you are there, say Hi.
Only got one picture so far. I'm going to try and give it a good detail on Sunday and grab some more with the SLR.
Its booked in to Coastal Racing on Monday to have some HEL braided lines fitted and some DOT6 fluid, also having some Goodyear Eagle F1s put on to replace the run-flats.
