Collecting my new Mini - A very unexpected purchase

- I have always been a fan of the Mini and I had the chance to purchase a very special mini that I could not turn down. Possibly 1 of the most fun Mini's BMW ever made and certainly a future classic I recently collected my new car. Fast and slightly mad it has put a massive smile on my face and I am looking forward to being part of the Mini community and sharing the experiences.

Mega things the R53’s lovely car you have there dude
I love it, it’s had a lot of money and love spent on her and looking forward to making lots more content and showing what she sounds like properly (the media mod on the GoPro failed so terrible sound)
Mate I am SO pleased for you. The car looks awesome and I can’t wait to have a go 😜👍
I am over the moon with her and you are more than welcome to take her out. I said 1 day I would have a car you wanted to drive and at last I do
Congrats.. had all versions of the new mini but the r53 is the one that I have the fondest memory of - that build looks awesome & can’t wait to see more content 👍👍👍
Thank you , I am so pleased. People really do seem to love the R53; was stopped in Tesco car park and complimented what a cool car it was and then what was it. Should be able to do a proper 1st drive video in the next couple of weeks 😊 then go through all of the work done to the car.
Wow, big congrats, that's a very cool looking and sounding car. You'll be grinning ear to ear each day, enjoy!
Thank you , I am certainly very very happy, love the look, sound and the way it drives
Great video and great car, if your gonna get an R53 then Tim's was the one to get😁👍
It’s an amazing base to work from. Want to make some changes to add my stamp on it but the serious work has been done. Going to be a fun journey
tim has kept that quirt hope he's not leaving the mini club
I hope not as I will need his advice on what has gone on with the car lol , more importantly just a fantastic guy :) he has certainly put to whether a cracking car and feel a bit spoilt as I have never even sat in a R53 let alone a modified 1. Keep looking at it and surprising myself I actual own it
Congrats Damo. Much better than the other one you had your eye on. Cant wait to see in person
It’s epic I love it so much lol
Well done Damo. You’ve got a superb R53 there. Can’t beat the sound from the supercharger. We know you will love it, and hopefully see you at one of our shows soon
Thank you for the kind words. I plan to get a lot more involved in the mini community this year. Frustratingly the sound failed on the main microphone in the car so it did not give a true representation of the sound. With a combination of the supercharger and then the exhausts it’s a bit addictive 😂 few minor bits to resolve (including fitting the back seats and seat belts) and is a wonderful car to drive and love the looks.
Happy for you mate! You seem delighted! Nice one!
Thanks rob, buzzing is an understatement 😂. Hope you and the family are keeping well
Wow you have bought Tim’s car spot on bud
It’s a joy and still cannot believe I own it lol.
Congratulations Damian - great purchase. 😊
Hey Darren good to hear from you and hope everything is going well. Glad you like the car
@@DamoDrives Incredibly busy with work mate, hence slowed down on my RUclips watching. Otherwise all good and looking forward to Christmas. Speaking of which, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
Massive congrats Damo! What a car! Looks awesome and sounds epic too! Looking forward to see what’s to come!
Cheers Ollie , I am very lucky that the car has had so much done to it that really nothing needs to be changed just yet. Going to the supermarket has suddenly become exciting lol
@@DamoDrives You'll be finding yourself making any excuse to drive it! 5 times a day to the shops!
The excuse of “every supermarket within 30 miles was closed” might happen
CONGRATULATIONS! Love those wheels and the engine/exhaust sounds great! Had a smile on my face the entire video. Can't wait to see more videos and find out all they have done in terms of modifications. Best of all a manual transmission!
Thank you I am very pleased. There is a lot to talk about with this car , planning to go to some shows , maybe a few minor cosmetic changes and see where it goes. Previous owner is a legend and done an amazing job
My Dads car is pretty good innit treat it well XD
He did an amazing job with the car. Looking forward to actually driving on some nice roads over the coming weeks and months
@@DamoDrives cool
You have lots of mods on that also it has bigger injectors etc
I will be doing further videos on the performance mods, looks and of course some driving videos. It is a very well sorted car. A good amount of power that is really usable but not silly amount that will get you in trouble 😂😂
Congrats , looks pretty awesome!
Thanks Howard , I could not be more pleased with the car :)
Congrats, are you bring it to brands hatch mini fest.
I might do if I can
What are the wheel and tire specs the car looks absolutely amazing
Wheels are fifteen52 turbomac 8j Et30 with 205 45 17 tyres
🔥WHATS THE BRAND AND NAME OF THE REAR WING🔥
Bet Tim was thinking “what clown have I sold this to?”
Even if he did I don’t care what anyone really thinks as it’s my car and sure his Bank was happy 😂
