    Hello and good afternoon to all the Mini community in Motoring Alliance.I`m a Portuguese guy owner of a Mini one d bought in 2003,
    currently it has 155000Km and it never gave me any problems, just change oil and fill the tank with diesel.
    Whithin 3 or 4 days i`m going to swap it for a Mini Clubman cooper diesel Hampton series 2012, i hope it will be a good swap. Best regards to all.

    Welcome, I'd like to see diesel MINIs in the U.S.
    What is the power like? Does it pull hard from a stop? How does it sound?

    Wow, Portugal, there's really good food there.

    ...Good afternoon DneprDave! Well my Mini one diesel (the base of the engine is Toyota and i think that the head is BMW engineered) is the less powerfuk of them all, just 75 CV ( 55 KW - if i´m not wrong).IT is also the first model with a diesel engine, so i think you can consider it a" Mark 1"...eh!eh!
    And yes it pulls hard from a stop, but after the first 40, 50 meters you´re done!...there are no miracles with just 75 CV under the hood!:biggrin5:
    The sound is typical diesel engine, but in the interior of the car is very filtered...
    Regarding the food...well i´m not a person to brag about, but yes we do have really good food here...for me is on the same level of the Spanish or Italian food...is just not as publicised!..fortunately...eh!eh!eh!...
    best regards and thanks for the welcome post.:Thumbsup:
