Hey guys! I'm Chaz, I live in Nottingham in the UK and have just bought myself an 02 Mini Cooper! Was always a fan of these cars and once my Megane got too costly on repairs I decided a change was needed. I'm it's 8th owner, done 112500 miles and still looks a minter, cost £1750 which I thought was pretty cheap. Here she is! My old and new car together, shame I've gotta sell my old one soon but times change
Welcome. I used to live between Derby and Nottingham, just off the A52. Lived here in Ohio for 19 years.
Welcome to MA, good to have another member that knows what a wing, sill, gearbox, bonnet and tyre is hahaha and more important another R50 with a dear old Midlands box! I'm was from Nottingham too! now roaming the world in search of Midlands gearbox parts!
Thanks guys, nice to feel welcome, needs a little bit of work, needs a new back box as it's blowing, do I have to box and pipe or can I cut it off and just bolt a back box on? Also want to give it a bit of oomph when pulling off, heard they respond quite well to induction kits? And what else could I do to it? Not Ilkeston or spondon by any chance? BOOOOOOOOO!!! DCFC!! Isn't the tyre what you use to steer the car with? hahaha I'm actually surprised to see guys from nottingham on here!
I used to live in Neather Heage then South Normanton. I would suggest you take a look in the Gen 1 section for mods to R50's I have an R50 but mine is a wee bit modified.
Not Ilkeston or spondon by any chance? Born and raised in Chaddesden, lived in Spondon after leaving home. Tough being a Red Dog in Derby!!!!!!
Cousin lives in Chad, not surprised! Got a lucky win over us this season, shame we won't see you see you next season when we're in premier league!!
