Mate in work with a classic uk 2000 scooby says these are girls cars.
I personally love them, more so the supercharged ones.
Cant convince some people though.

they are a bit girly, but i think with a few mods they do look quite decent, good track/fast road car

I personally not a great fan of the aero kit, makes the Mini look too big.
Looks ok, I mean it doesn't disgust me but I just like the standard look more

I'm happy with that.
Tbh, I'd fully expect a modified, supercharged hatchback to keep with or beat them. I can do an ST in my N/A shitheap 1.6 Do love the whine on them though!

cant see it being quicker then a mk1 focus RS, those things are savage in 3rd, i remember in my leon which was circa 230bhp, it just pulled clean away.
saying that i suppose the focus could have been modded

I too had a blat with a Mk1 RS in my Corsa LET which kept up with a Porka 911 Carrera and it literally blew me away.
Could have been modded though!

The only one I think a man can get away with driving is a JCW, even they are a bit girly. It just makes it more amusing when my girls car shows a clean pair of heels to most other peoples cars though

Most are modded, this one is danny dubs mate so maybe he could shed some light on it.
Aren't they 230bhp standard?
Mines going better now as well, had lost a bolt on my on the CAT and my induction hose had come off.

That's the one Eck, mine was 212bhp before I put the intercooler and CAT back on so could be anything between 212 and 220 I reckon so that makes sense I would be faster probably a bit lighter as well.
