Hi,
Im Billy Mason and have just purchased a 2010 MINI John Cooper Works,i will be taking delivery sometime this coming week.My Current ride is a 2008 Impreza STi Hatch which has been pumped up to 352bhp.However after almost 12 years of Subaru ownership it has to go.Due to the taxation methods in this country it has become too expensive to run,thanks Mr Cameron.So i went and checked out a few cars,spotted the MINI and went for a test drive result?HOOKED!.lol.
Im also into classic cars and have a 33 year old Bedford Chevanne which i go to shows with check us out at hamilton-classics.com.
I'll report back later on in the week when i get my car and have a proper drive in it.

Cheers
Billy

Never driven a Subaru so it will be interesting reading what you think of the Works.

You just press the loud pedal and hang on for grim death.lol.
No really when you can chase down Porsches etc its good fun and i never got stuck once in the snow once you lock the diffs up.I had a POLICE INTERCEPTOR badge on it from an american cop car and a (dont read this officer) twin l.e.d dash mount light in blue for that extra effect.My favorite passtime was to chase motorbikes down country roads boy did they get peed off with me.lol
