  • Welcome to The Friday Feature powered by H&H Classics...
    www.handh.co.uk
    It has taken 12 months for me to get this Mini on the channel after I saw it at a show last year. The stand out feature are the Lamborghini inspired doors but the car is full of so many beautiful details, from the seats to the carbon fibre detailing on the dash.
    Under the bonnet is a fully forged engine running a Stage 3 tune producing 310 horsepower and just shy of 400 Nm of torque.

    Vince is my neighbour and I can tell you that he cleans that car 5 to 6 hours a weekend, it is an amazingly beautiful car and Vince is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

    I used the Mini configurator for the first time today to visualise a cream coloured Cooper with black bonnet stripes. Competitively priced at £18.5K for a car that matches a 205 GTi 1.9 in performance and it would also fit into my small garage! I now get why they are so popular.

    I've been watching a few Mini Cooper vids recently solely for the sheer happiness you get from the exhaust notes but, my oh my. This car has definitely done that and much more. I'm sitting here with a wide grin plastered across my face with absolute respect for the owner's choice of setup and the way it has been presented by Peter and Vince. Vince, if you're reading this, your car is an absolute beauty and thank you for the smiles! Peter, thank you for showing these cars to us with your channel!
    Sincerely,
    A big guy with an even bigger grin.

    Two on the drive and on MINI number seven here. I’ve always loved the wee mods, personal changes to make MINI’s more personal be it simply white indicator bulbs or more. The owner has went all in as they say and fair play. I enjoying seeing people mods, some may not be to my taste but I always appreciate the effort and engineering. Bet that absolutely chews through tyres 😁. And I though people doing the joey mod to the lights were brave😁.

      You could be like my neighbor who drives a McLaren, he frequently peels out once dark and really goes. I guess he thinks if you can't see it no one will know who it is. Doesn't seem to realize we all know the sound of his car and the taillights are wonderfully distinctive. Of course none of us want to ban him, we would however not mind being lent the car for a drive.

BUT those pops and bangs from the exhaust!! “Anti Social” comes to mind. It would drive me and probably my Nieghbour’s mad.

    A show car that goes aswell as it looks👌👍. I like all the details & work that's gone into making the Mini, unique & look as good as it does. I don't mind the occasional pop's & cracks from an exhaust & I can see that having popcorn & AK's firing out the back can be fun sometimes/party-piece, but for me I'd be tempted to have a popcorn tune available at the flick of a switch (missile style flip switch - ON/OFF ).

    Holy......monkees, I would want to drive it with the bonnet top OFF! Every time I drove it I would have the microfiber out to get any particle of dust off the moment I got home. I would spend equal time looking at it as driving it. And letting a stranger borrow it? Yeah, right, I wouldn't let my best friend drive it (maybe if Jay Leno was my best friend I might).

    Absolutely amazing looking car, interior wow, and the doors are brilliant, however too many pops and bangs for me, couldn't live with that sadly. Stil a great car though.
