  • 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.

      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)

      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

      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.

      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

    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

    • @DamoDrives
      @DamoDrives  2 года назад

      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.
