Mini's are so common up here in Aberdeen, especially Cooper S's. No doubt good cars, but personally think they are overrated. Only one I'd consider is the John Cooper Works, but then I did chose an Abarth 500 SS for a reason

i dont like the minis but cooper s lot faster than the abarth tho, even the ss. hate to say it but its true, statistically and also noticed it in my test drives. he cant have been trying.

I would have gone for a JCW if I had an extra 10K available. The 500A isn't going to be as quick as the likes of the mini. In buying my 500A I will unfortunatley have to take the wooden spoon. However, we Abarthstis have a rare thing.....it's called tatse

Saw a previous model Cooper S GP the other day, that's a quick motor.

Agreed

Glad to hear you had fun shocking someone Alberto I think as there's so few of us about, other people think they'll leave you in their dust.......(just cos I said I get the wooden spoon, doesn't mean I don't try avoiding it )

Alberto u gota 135 or SS? Havent had the joy of playin with a cooper s yet!

:-) sweet thats good to know

When do you get your car Mouse? Need to brace myself for the possibility of seeing another A500 on the road. That'll be something like 4 A500s within 50 miles. Still only seen one other one on the road.

10th April is the latest date I've been told. Can't wait now. My girlfriend doesn't like it. Will have to work on her, as in 3 / 4 years when I get another car I need to find a way of keeping the Abarth by giving it to her

i can see how you can race another car on the road without 1st stopping and having a conversation about fancying a RACE

you blast around the only guys that seem to be arsed racing are the unmarked police cars ST's and Scoobies, VRS etc then again living in a city surrounds doesn't help with space to blast about

if you get caught out in the Abarth eg low boost or lag you stuffed must be the same for other cars if your not expecting a Abarth racer then its not a race

test time we need a cooper and abarth on track asap
