Mini Cooper test drive since 2006 hatchback

Lighter on the PrMini!

Thriller at the box office
This car played a cruel joke with me. She looked so cute, girlfriend, girlish, with flirty red mirror ears ... At first, I did not understand what only the absence of the rear seats and the presence of a transverse crossbar (by the way, quite suitable for transportation of two, large Australian Australian ones were surprised at the catch. cockatoo).
The text of Irena Ponaroshka
The mechanical box on the road was slightly upset, I needed to make a dozen calls on a mobile phone. As a result, having set off, I soon forgot about the mobile and remembered several indecent words. The unit turned out to be small, but angry, a little better than a throat from the Lord of the Rings. The car, at the sight of which I first exclaimed the charm!, Deserved a completely different epithet tin!
 
I thought: who could like this sports version of the initially quite peaceful Mini car? Who needs this selfish double compartment, this frisky acceleration with slipping and light skidding at high speeds, hard sports seats, a six-speed gearbox and 18-inch rims on tonyn rubber soles? It seems to me that all this is simply necessary for the sublimating teenage boys, with whom age and parents already allow you to change the toy steering wheel and computer simulators of the racing to the steering wheel real. I appeal to the fathers of 18-year-olds: if you are already quietly slipping condoms to your son, then be consistent to give him the keys to Mini GP. He will definitely use them more often. And if you are already thirty -five, but you are still set to buy one of two thousand Mini GP series cars, I congratulate you, you are young with your soul! And I hope, we are rich, because the sports version is almost twice as much as its civilian original all 40,000 euros.
 
As for my sensations from this car, they are some kind of confused. I have been a teenager for a long time, and I don’t remember myself at all a boy. In Mini GP, I did not leave that I was not sitting in my place. By the way, I must admit that the driver’s place is not a comfortable recaro brooms does not knit. Yes, and heating the seats in the dank Moscow creates a feeling of comfort. But the thought did not leave that Santa Claus mixed up everything and gave me someone else's railway and a set of soldiers, and he saw off my dolls and toy cuisine shamelessly. I never knew how to play war and enjoy hard sports cars. Heeled boots reduced the area of \u200b\u200bcontact with a miniature clutch pedal, and the leg slipped. At a speed of more than 100 km/h, the steering wheel began to break out of the hands, as just caught from the river Rybin. In traffic jams, the car growled whenever it was necessary to drive ahead a couple of meters, as if preparing to jump in front of the car. Drivers from neighboring cars squinted at me, and I had to guilty to smile, they say, you excuse me, I have a young, frisky ... And he was in a hurry to live and in a hurry! And of course, the suspension with low -profile rubber was allowed to feel all the charm of the road relief.
 
In the cork, it was better to take a closer look at the interior that melted my ice heart. The eye was pleased with a huge round speedometer located directly in the middle of the front panel, and the pride of BMW designers are a number of levers that are responsible for managing the main functions: the glass window, locking doors. The creators of the interior in every possible way hinted at the cabin of a jet fighter, and the hint turned out to be transparent and understandable. Stylistics is partly justified by the absence of a glove compartment, and the sound system is quite capable of shouting the motor at the same time with the compressor. It is pleasantly pleasing to the review if you still use the advantages of a 218-horsepower engine and snoop in the flow between the machines, then the rear windows provide decent information content for the rear, you can not worry, the enemy will not sneak unnoticed.
 
The price of Mini GP includes a sense of individuality and exclusivity. In the age of globalization and unification, queues on Ford Focus and charter tours to Turkey, I want to have something more unique and unique than fingerprints and the only drawing of the retina in the world. The GP series is released by a limited edition, and each machine has its own serial number indicated on the dashboard inside the cabin and on the roof, from the driver's side. And fans of numerology, again, joy. If you're lucky, you can choose a car with a serial number that coincides with a sacred number 0710 by the birth date of V.V. Putin. In addition, a specially designed design of an exclusive medallion with a car number has been developed for Russia, which gives the right to use the services of a special program for owners of the Mini Cooper S GP, the program includes various discounts and benefits for car service.
 
And a few more words about the exterior. The good -natured mini acquired not only a sporting character, but also a sports appearance. The boys will definitely like red brake pads peering out from under luxurious cast discs designed specifically for this model, and a spoiler on the trunk lid. But with tinting, the designers decided to suffer and painted all 2000 cars in one color. More precisely in two: the case is covered with blue metallic, and the roof is gray. Thus, the exterior experts confirm my guess of the male purpose of this machine. After all, a blanket with a boy, before taking it out of the hospital, is necessarily rewinded by a blue bow. Although in our age of vice, I would not do this from the communications of superstition about homophobia.
 
Mini has always impressed me with a toy car car. And the Mini Cooper S GP was also a toy, but for boys from eighteen and older. In women's magazines they often write that men always remain children and have the right to children's pranks. Now the same is written in automobile magazines.

What is in his name?
The name Mini Cooper S JCW GP says that the car was tuning in the John Cooper Works court atelier. But not ordinary, with which the machine has only 210 liters. with., and special. Hence the letters GP

Do not compare

Translation difficulties
When you hear SMOKE it, Baby sometimes does not understand what is meant either to cigarette or burn the tires to the cord. Both in the company Mini turn out with ease
