[@SR-cp1eo]

I love Mini's. On my second now. For the argument for them getting larger, it's not because BMW owns the company, its because the safety standards are changing and require things such as the top of the door being a certain height off the ground for side impacts, and the headlights need to be a minimum distance from the ground etc. It's not BMW's fault, it's the DOT. Loved the video! learned alot!

[@Nemoticon]

If it's not an original Mini, it's not a Mini at all. I've had 5 originals and 1 new Mini and the new Mini is an unreliable, costly, overweight, boring car, a perverted copy of the British design (and also the WORST car I've ever bought and driven). How can they be called Minis, they're as big as a VW Golf!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bluebobbyjack]

[@Nemoticon]

@@bluebobbyjack Assuming we're talking about original Minis - In all honesty, it's not the model or the year... if you find a good example that's been looked after and in good running order, get it!

@@Nemoticon the original golf was smaller than the golf that is currently in the market. As time goes, various factors changes like safety standards etc. I guess they had no choice Besides, I have driven lots ot JCW minis recently and I found them pretty good. What is it that made you hate them so much?

[@joannaatkins822]

Mini confused the bejeezus out of all the rivals when first launched because nobody could figure out how they were selling them so cheaply? They basically sold Minis at a loss at launch. To undercut all competition. That's going HARD.

[@Mario-xh1lq]

Phil Atkins damn brutal asf

[@FelixHe2309]

Is that loss?

[@MarioFunk]

Yeah they sold each at a loss, and it helped bankrupt BMC, which lead to the merger with Triumph to form British Leyland and blah blah blah. The British motor industry is a goddamn Shakespearean tragedy.

[@ethelmini]

Not exactly true, Ford claimed it would cost them something like £50 more than the sale price to make. Doesn't mean it cost BMC the same.

[@sutherlandA1]

The basic 495 pound base model wouldve been the loss leader but most optioned up further in the range where the profits although slim would be

I am the second owner of a 6-spd 2005 R53 that I bought in 2009 and still drive daily. It has won multiple SCCA autocross class championships (when it was underclassed in G Stock). As of October 2020, it has 144,000 miles and it still going very strong. Never scary, always predictable, fun as hell, built to last, and still an icon. I would even call it collectible...SAVE THE MANUALS!!! (Transmissions, that is.) The fastest I have ever gone in my R53 is 130mph, with room for more. I have no engine mods, just a catback exhaust. Most of the mods I have done are the shocks/struts/camber plates and suspension bushings. The supercharger is bullet proof...and there's never the possibility of turbo lag. This was a great video. I learned something new.

[@not_George]

Random fact, the most British car ever, was designed by a Greek. Isigonis was a refugee of Greek decent. My first car was a 1975 classic mini rebuilt with a 1.3lt engine. Most fun I've ever had in a car. It handled so well, it actually didn't kill me, despite pushing way past the limit. It was like driving a go kart in the city :) You feel like there is only a chassis and a tin box on top of it. The doors were so thin you could not fit a regular audio speaker. Had to put a spacer in between. I also had the exhaust pipe fall off while driving and being on a date with the girl of my dreams. I remember tying to the bumper to make it home. Next day I cut it off and drove it for a month sounding like a dragster. Also fitted a customized filter from a water pump for the air intake lol. Good old times, when you could fuck with the carb with a screw driver and no need for laptops. I regret selling that car and hope to buy a '98 at some point. The new S is really cool and fun too, but nothing like the classic.

[@stingGraff333]

I love my mini. 2005 Cooper S JCW. It's one of the most fun (mostly stock) autocross cars I've had the chance to beat on, is a blast in twisty backroads, and is fuel efficient enough that a tank lasts me two weeks when driving normally. Also, the supercharger is loud as hell. Win-win.... win... win? Yeah, that's a lot of fuckin win.

[@baz10600]

Is it reliable?

[@cr45h20]

Not at all. I've had my mini for a while now and I'm always working on it. And three days ago my transmission decided to blow without any warning or signs. So I bought a Triumph Street Triple R

[@stingGraff333]

Maui_ Kawi I’ve had a very different experience. It’s been in our family since 2005 and it’s been good to us. Yes, any maintenance or repairs are often more expensive than my other cars because literally everything requires removing the front end, but it’s largely been a very reliable car. Granted it still only has 70k miles on it which is very low for a 13 year old car, but it’s frequently driven very hard and i’ve taken it to a good number of autocross events over the last few years. I am, however, anal about scheduled and preventative maintenance so that definitely helps reliability.

Roy Logan Folley I do. Because of it there are no cheap RWD cars. Because everyone switched to FWD to lower production costs so they could rival it.

[@levithemiata4784]

Look at me I'm here....hating the mini e.e

[@pie7332]

I do

[@Biggchad]

Roy Logan Folley I do

[@user-vs7sb9wg2r]

It is possible to hate everything.

[@erikamabray2327]

I just picked up a 2003 mini Cooper s in indigo blue! Love it! I live in northern California and it eats up the windiest roads we have and asks for more. 5 speed manual. It's a blast to drive.

[@bowenchristiansen5783]

Absolutely love minis. Got a countryman myself and it is so zippy, makes for some pretty great fun around turns

[@jaromjenkins1834]

Up to speed: FORD GT.

[@ceazmedia198]

MK IV built for le mans, For GT 2000's was made to commemorate the car, then in 2017 ford saif fuck it and made a eco friendly sports car, video complete

[@driffbro3380]

Jman 1 Ford tried to buy Ferrari in '50s Ferrari was like "vaffanculo not for sale" Then for was like "well fcuk you too we'll beat you in your on game" which was the prestigious 24 hours of le mans race So then of course Ford started developing a racecar with a guy named Carol Shelby. They took the chassis of a Lola mk6, stuck a big burbling American V8 and thus, the Ford GT mk1 prototype was born. They took the developed GT mk2 to LeMans in 1966 they had a 1 2 3 finish, decimating the Ferraris. To celebrate this victory they made road legal versions from '04 to 06. But in 2016, they went back to race in LeMans in the gte class and AGAIN they were competing against Ferrari and AGAIN they won.. so to celebrate their win in 2016 and to mark their 1st win they had 50 years ago in 1966, they made road legal ford GT's and went on production in December of 2016, and they plan on making them till 2020. Soo that's where we're at now. Fin. Hope you read this till the end.

James May explains it all in the sixth episode of Grand Tour.

[@witchcraftauto]

Hell YES

[@aidanbrasuell7662]

YOU MISSED THE COUPE! They made a Mini Cooper Coupe that had active aerodynamics and they discontinued it last year, I think they made it from 2010-2015/16. Also had a JCW version.

[@orangescuash9103]

and the paceman

[@crashcourseinbruhsurgery]

and it also had a convertible version

[@SkeleMusic]

The coupe is the worst looking version

[@aidanbrasuell7662]

SkeleMusic I heartily disagree, it does have it's flaws though.

[@nitrorager]

and the GP edition R53

[@johnorttenburger7060]

2011 Mini R55S beautiful car, love it. Replaced the engine, very proud of doing all the work myself. It’s a fun summer driver, and a fun car to work on. Definitely a #moneypit

[@saint_keeblerElf]

I thought you were going to cover some of the other limited models like the coupe, roadster and the Paceman as well 🤷 but still a good review. Makes me remember the time I used to work for Enterprise rent a car and would love hopping in the mini and taking it for a spin!

An American saying Jaguar the proper way? I tip my bowler hat to you

[@andrewjohnson3940]

I thought that was how everyone said jaguar

[@baladan7433]

Jaguar, the word and animal, is a Portuguese word. So the 'american' way is saying jaguar is more accurate.

[@brianv3ntura]

Like to add to the etymology. Original was yaguára. So yes the "american" way is more accurate.

[@pretendracingcars8028]

However, though it may be named after the fast cat which is Jag-wharr or whatever, in English it is still “jag-u-ar” as that is how the founders intended it be said. So although you are saying that it is Portuguese, it is still better to say it in English, pronouncing it how it is written. Comprende?

[@cesar-lf1jw]

Nigel Mansell shut yo racist ass up

[@roger8750]

Absolutely superb video old chap..well done.By the way there were three Cooper S engines, first the 997 cc,the 1071cc and finally the 1275cc, the block can also be bored out to 1293cc. it cant go anymore,people have tried but the head gasket becomes very unreliable, (space between the cylinders becomes very thin. )

[@MrAyrit]

Totally hooked on these.

[@TheRecordbreaker21]

I listen to 4:14 over and over again because it makes me feel like I’ve actually accomplished something that’s worthwhile

[@northamericanauto43]

Teh_Punisher THANK YOU!!!!

[@chubz01]

"And God knows,we've all experimented.Hey,Chris.." 😂😂😂😂😂

[@XAqua27]

Should have talk about the interior more. The speedometer in the center console is just a classis. It's one of the reason I bought mine! (And the fact that they are freaking beautiful and fun to drive) Also the fact whether it's a right or left handed , the hood release is on the right. That car is one of my favorites.

[@dalybaz]

Loved the vid. I used to modify minis in the 1980s. The Australian Minis had subtle differences to the English ones way too numerous to mention here If anyone wanted a fast engine they came to me. I did it for the love of building engines (and a slab {24 cans of beer}). I had a 1975 Mini Moke with 13 inch wheels (Australia only)in which I put a Mk1 Cooper 'S' engine and gearbox which I had modified to race specifications. Now a 1275 equiped Moke is 110 KG lighter than a Cooper 'S' so this thing went like stink in the suburbs but top speed was restricted by the Moke's flat windscreen and front. To stop the Moke I used power assisted 'big wheel" disc brakes. It used to break one drive shaft and blow one head gasket per year. I sold it for a pittance and bought a Triumph TR7 (Mistake) in the mid 1990s as I was working shiftwork at ABC Radio and had to drive down King street to get there and I got sick of drunks trying to climb in to the passenger seat next to me.

Today is my birthday and do corvettes with the new zr1

[@BasicBuiltHawaii]

Happy birthday! December Babies!!!!

[@sampizza463]

Happy birthday 🙃

[@alexanderlevers1654]

As a baby car enthusiast I f*cking love this channel and am currently obsessed w/ minis. Cheers to y'all at Donut!

[@nuibit8868]

I've got an '08 base. Got it from a salvage title after it was fixed after a nasty side swipe. There still some scratches and dents of course, but it's amazing how big of an impact a mini can survive. The bodywork was repaired, and we bought it. Granted, it does need repairs ofted, but that was likely due to previous neglect. The thing about it though, is that it's insanely tough. It's survived a whole lot of crap and it's still driving to this day, not a spot of rust either. I probably need to tighten the steering a bit and get new shocks to make those a little firmer, it floats a bit, which is nice for michigan roads where I drive, it behaves insanely well, has very nimble handling, and is very modest and unassuming until you hit the sport button. Then the wheel tightens, the shift points change, the throttle gets more responsive, and it starts talking. My dad's mini roadster S pops and growls and burbles in sport mode. Mines a base but it'll kinda snarl a bit in sport. And don't get me started on how it feels to drive it. Its s u b l i m e. It always puts a smile on my face. Plus the MINI community is a fun thing too.

[@lewisrose7673]

I have a John cooper works 1.6 super charged 2005 mini. It's crazy !

[@flumpaustin1994]

Me too!

[@SpYFoXZeRo]

I got an MC40, I love driving her then my M4

[@Hai_da]

Not really the same mate.

[@JulieWallis1963]

Lewis A H have a Mini Cooper but I looked at a JCW, only shame was the body work. It was too rusty. But I love my mini (Billie -Jean) every bit as much as my family or my pets!

[@nafay4702]

Do the AE86 that would be awesome!

[@gnashmelllow]

Nafay they wouldn’t, it would just be an up to speed on the Corolla. They wouldn’t do a single generation and trim level.

[@AEdgar86]

It would just be a minute video talking about initial d and the drift king...

[@jaxom]

Taylor Davy a vid on the corolla would be good.

[@texantornadomma]

but they did this already

[@texantornadomma]

do the gt86 please

[@1wongatonga]

Picking up my 4th Mini at the end of October. A Lava Orange 1997 Mini Cooper with White Roof and stripes- HELL YES!!

[@grimoire9419]

my mom bought a 2010 Mini brand new and I now own it and it’s the most fun car I’ve ever driven, I love our tiny little Sue so much, she brings me so much joy y’all don’t even know

[@kapten-awesome]

Up to speed on the speed on F1

[@ramsonk]

Thank you soooo much next Porsche 911

[@northamericanauto43]

elaizah foning ramsong I agree

[@Avavenger]

Awesome! Thanks for this! New Mini owner. 😊

[@christianstone8511]

I just bought a f56 Cooper S about 8 weeks ago and I freaking love it. I just hit 140 mph in it completely stock. Going to do a little work on it and have some fun

[@williammears9272]

Yes Yes Yes Yes! I’ve wanted this for so long!

[@AiGMedia246]

"Hey chris" LOOL

[@theredcomet844]

Me: (concerned look)

[@SRawsonH]

I have a 2015 Mini JCW in the Christmas Colouring 😂 Got to have the manual though only way + the JCW Straight Pipe Track Exhaust! Absolutely love this car! (I’ve had it 2 years now since I was 19 and have done nearly 40,000 miles in it shows how much I love it)

[@geoffrey6000]

This might be one of the best videos i've watched in a long time.

[@pabauza]

Mclaren F1 would make a pretty goof Up To Speed.

[@m1yuuu_combatseawolf]

Why not the whole Mclaren brand then?

[@cschmall94]

No mention of the Italian job at all? Original or remake? Sad.

[@markm0000]

These videos are missing a lot of details aren't they. They should reach out to the community for information on these cars before each video.

[@jamesmoakes6187]

Of all things they forgot, the Italian job is the most important

[@ssc00p]

On the 57 sec mark there was atleast a clip from the original movie ;)

[@bulletspongeirishguy3451]

the remake isn't the Italian job as far as anyone with a brain is concerned the remake was done in small BMW's and should be called the american job as the job took place there and not in Italy

[@StephanDomke]

Yeah, but it started in Italy tbh ;)

[@johnstagl5651]

You are too funny. Really enjoyed it all! Thanks. (the content was awesome)

[@Veloce2000]

Yup i'm 1 amongst millions of Mini fans. Had driven the Mk1 Cooper 998 & owned a Clubman 998 as my 1st car. Minis are....Great!!! ❤❤❤
