Who is this Guy. I am in Canada, born London, first car nini, second Austin Cooper 'S'. Light of my life, abused it, chased Cortina GT 1500's, needed horepower. Such great fun..Nick, watched many videos, great cars but you are the master driver, agressive bugger with supreme skills. Proud of you. Dave.

Why do you cross your right hand over the top of the wheel on most left-handers, but keep them at 9-3ish on straights and most right handers?

@stephenscholes4758 5 жыл бұрын

Years back I remember calculating what a Swiftune engine and box cost in Australian dollars - about $40,000!!!!

Hm, if you have the ££££, you get get all the best parts from MED Engineering, but as they don't build (many don't for liability reasons), you'd have to DIY it. I'm nearly finished rebuilding a 1981 Classic Mini, had I bought a complete lump (assembled inc gearbox) it would have been about £4500 for a fast road unit. A racer would be a lot more.

@rogbrown1458 2 жыл бұрын

@@hofthem hi Bill asi remember 850 s weren't fast enough to need brakes. Lol. Yeah 1275 cc was classed as a 1300. Likewise 970 s were classed as 1000 cc and 1071s were 1100cc to allow for being bored out to the limit for racing.1973 what a year. Got married still married! Spent a few days in San Francisco and lived between Los Angeles and England between the 90s and 2012.hence the info I have on UK mini coopers but have to confess I'd not heard really much about the Austin America for many years.once a mini fan you're hooked for life and why not. Good motoring. Rog.

Quanti cavalli ha questa mini Cooper ? Che cilindrata ha ? E inoltre desideravo sapere che tipo di alimentazione ha ? 2 Webber da 40/45 o carburatori SU ? Grazie
