    mini sport are wank for engines mate, if you want an engine go for proper company like MED,minispeed are the biggest **** ups so dont trust them.

    my car did a 15.3 at north weald which is up hill and a **** surface. but that pretty good.

    mpg was never calculated but i remember doing 100miles to a tenner 8)

    outstanding

    Deffo after a mini, using the gt to commute to work and having to drive like a granny to save fuel, want something bit better onf uel but as much fun when required, so a classic mini it is. currently getting 110 miles to a tenner out of the gt but really really driving like miss daisy.
