I bought a Mini Cooper R50 for £875! But is it any good..?

[@honestreviewer3283]

These are great cars if they've been maintained properly and have a 2005-06 manual transmission.

@@honestreviewer3283 yea, mine hadn't been well maintained 🤦‍♂️🤣 It's gone to the scrapyard in the sky now lol

When are you starting the mods on the mini?

[@TheChequeredFlagOriginal]

@@StephenHall-p9u unfortunately the mini went to the scrapyard in the sky 😭 I've since bought a volvo c30, which I will be lightly modifying instead. Sorry for the disappointment

[@paulhammond3590]

I bought mine for £600

[@TheChequeredFlagOriginal]

Wowsa that's cheap! Has it been a good car so far?

[@aajs2317]

Good car, but bmw had to much plastic thing round the coolsystem. Thermostat house. PLASTIC and more. With steel their were no problems. But after the real mini, the nicest mini sinds now👌👍 I have a 2002 cooper and still New state👊let It shine, and not so dirty as on this video. It Will be a classiccar

They are a hoot to drive

[@TheChequeredFlagOriginal]

Honestly, I'm totally smitten! Sat down low, with a decent note from the exhaust, it feels fast going 30 mph 🤣🤣 and the suspension is stiff, yet those big chunky tyres provide a smooth ride. The steering is direct and precise... it really is a fun little car!

[@kingsknightuk]

you need to fire your camera man, they keep getting their fingers in the shot lol The mini is an amazing car to drive but their timing chain issue is a real danger! My exes mini's chain snapped at 53k on the outside lane of the M3! i was in the car and it gave no warning what so ever, just snapped and you hear a lot of tinny sounds coming from the engine!

[@TheChequeredFlagOriginal]

That's my son 🤣🤣 can't fire him, but I might use my phone holder next time 🤣🤣 I'm really impressed with it tbf, its a really fun car to drive! Oh wow I wasn't aware there was an issue with the timing chain. I'd heard the timing chain tensioners could be an issue though. Jeez bet that was scary!
