We've had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a few MINI variants, including a 2007 Cooper Sand more recently a 2008 Cooper Clubman. Despite some quirky interior design cues and limited practicality, it's hard not to love the MINI for its superb handling and slick-shifting transmission. Still on our to-do list, however, was to experience some of the John Cooper Works options that were abse

Yeah, that's a long one!Got this sometime back but was too lazy to brag about it. I brought this from Muthanna Complex and I have got to say that this is the best RC I have ever owned! It features a 2 channel proportional system, changeable wheels and tires, Lexan body and aftermarket parts acceptability. It looks exactly like a hobby grade except for the fact that it costs a lot less! I got it for 18KD. Not bad for the price I paid.

This little guy was originally bought for my mom. I figured she could spoil him instead of my foals and she wouldn't get hurt. He turned out to be a good babysitter for the weanlings. That was until he taught them how to get under the electric fence. Since he was teaching them bad habits I sold him to someone I knew for his weanling. He had a much better fencing system. Then we missed him too much and went and bought him back. I moved him to my new farm and he either baby sat the weanling's or stayed with the Jake when he still was a stud. He soon found a way to get under the fencing and ended up in the farmers soybeans. My friend Paula came down for a visit and fell in love with him. He has 2 little kids that love him and 2 pasture pals. One is a draft horse cross. Cooper stands behind him and lets his tail keep the flies off him. He loves his treats and comes in expecting them. I have to get some pictures of him next to the draft horse. The funniest thing he did was when I came up
By: Mike Rosania 1. Your Magnaflow exhaust package comes with three pieces—a resonator, center pipe, and muffler section. The front resonator comes with a mounting flange that bolts right onto your stock catalytic converter. This part connects to a center pipe that is secured with exhaust clamps, which are supplied. And the rear muffler section joins together, exiting the car in the center of the rear bumper. Also, all the parts are stainless steel, which don’t rust or stain—nice job Magnaflow.2. Now to the installation. You will only need a few common tools to remove your stock exhaust; no exhaust cutters are needed. Make sure you have help installing the system, it is very heavy and you will not want to drop it.3. First, you will remove the factory skid plate/ heat shield from the chassis, which can be down with a socket wrench. Important—Do Not lose this piece as it will be re-installed after you install your new exhaust system.4. Now follow the factory exhaust up towards th
MotoresEl MINI Cooper lleva un motor atmosférico de 120 CV a 6.000 r.p.m., con par máximo de 160 Nm a 4.250 r.p.m. El motor del MINI Cooper S, es un turbo con inyección directa de gasolina. La sobrecarga se obtiene mediante un compresor Twin-Scroll, alimentado por el flujo de gases de escape de dos cilindros a la vez. Responde a muy bajas revoluciones, con lo que queda eliminado casi totalmente el llamado “hueco turbo”. El par máximo es de 240 Nm, disponible a 1.600 vueltas, y la potencia máxima es de 175 CV a 5.500 r.p.m.Diseño exteriorLigero aumento de las dimensiones exteriores (el largo aumenta 60 mm). Se mantienen las proporciones típicas y sus características estéticas, como la parrilla de entramado hexagonal, los grandes faros, la ranura diagonal entre el capó, las luces intermitentes laterales (reminiscencia del cordón de soldadura que tenía el Mini clásico en ese mismo lugar) y los pilotos posteriores en posición vertical.Diseño interiorEs más ligero y ampl

Mini Cooper S by AC SchnitzerRetro but not old-fashioned – sassy and practical – authentic but no copy: Few cars have mastered the balancing act as well as the new MINI, the latest generation of which is now in the showrooms. In design terms it remains true to its predecessor, but doesn’t stop there technically. In detail no MINI looks like the next, because individuality takes priority amongst its owners.Anyone wanting to stand out from the crowd of MINI owners, not just in appearance but also in performance, should turn to AC Schnitzer.The present focus of the tuner’s development activities is the new 170 HP turbo engine in the Cooper S, for which AC Schnitzer develops a performance upgrade. And when the driver puts the power down, the sound track plays loud and clear, thanks to the sonorous twin sports silencer with chromed Racing tailpipe.Full gas to the next corner – and through it at full speed!

The Globe and Mail is reporting that BMW will send Canadians the new MINI Cooper D. The Cooper D is the diesel counterpart of the Cooper and it gets a mileage of around 60MPG which is quite impressive. BMW will be also sending Canadians the diesel variants of various BMW models such as the 320d and the 525d.Unfortunately, BMW has no plans to export their diesels to the US. However, if reception is massive of the diesel Bimmers or the diesel MINI in the US, this just might be another story like the Smart. [Source: Autoblog]
