Honestly mate Ruby looks stunning! I love the colour of the alloys and the JPS colour combo too. The attention to detail and mapping are spot on. Darren is such a humble knowledgeable enthusiast, hope to see you do more things with him.
As a former Mini Roadster owner, I'm overjoyed to see RR looking, sounding, and driving so great. Makes me miss my Geoffrey (the '14 Roadster S) so much!!
Don't know if Lotus ever worked on a mini. Don't think so. Well, if they did the 'modern' mini, this might be it. Hope Ruby will be back on the channel now. Cheers!
Fantastic! The excitement before the car was unveiled was PalPable! You seem a bit like me - having something bespoke or built specifically for you is way more special than something just expensive or "new"...
Hi Ped Your love affair is renewed, and WOW Ruby looks fantastic.🤗 Look forward to a full video and more detail at your leisure. All credit to Darren and his team.
Your body doesn't look as though the road is beating you up as you drive! That is a very poignant difference from where I'm sitting. Those lads put in so many lovely, spot-on details, too. I'm sure it was so satisfying to get home and drink in all the changes along with a glass of wine. Superb!
@@PetrolPedhave the kw v2 similar basically and they float over the bumpers but are still stiff I use mine on track and road they are brilliant b14s/b16s or kw are the way forward class above bc etc
❤ hi Pete, sorry I’ve been away for so long. I’ve been too well. Great to see Ruby wrote the back on the road again looking as good as ever. Nice move what you’ve done to her. I like you very much. She really looks classy. bless her. All the best Pete take great care of love 🥰
Looking at getting a clubman s next year and came across your channel whilst looking into the clubman in general and gotta say the mini content got me hooked. I'm new but loving it mate keep it up
❤Ruby❤ Fabulous to have Mini back on the channel and great inspiration for my JCW in the future. Well done Darren @Mulgari, you’ve made Pete and Ruby’s fans very happy!
You did well to get rid of the 'pops & bangs' tune, the DVSA have successfully prosecuted a tuning garage in Wakefield for one with a cat delete. It could have implications for tuners going forward, as they exceed the alowable emissions and drive by noise levels.
Hi Pete I had the Bilsteins B14 under my R53 GP when the oem's were worn. Good set for the money. I like the color of your wheels. I like Ruby but for me a little bit too much badges and stickers on and in her. :) And she deserves some new shiny bolts under the hood instead of the rusty ones. I don't understand why Mulgari didn't change them. It is a cheap "mod" for making the look under the hood nicer. I changed them together with the bolts that are holding the dampers above on my R58. And congrats with your over 200k subs. Greetings from the Netherlands. :)
My first MINI and current came with sport mode and until I took it on a road trip up the highlands NC500 west coast side I thought it didn’t do anything. It was only when I pulled out after a break after have sports mode on all day and thought “ Oh no what’s up with my Car” and remember I hadn’t pressed it. 😂 Next MINI spec’d with the sports button best £50 option 👍 Right Road-trip is needed in it. Monaco with Mrs P or back up take Joe A sharing the driving.
Great stuff. And how nice that even with everything else you drive, it still gets you like it does. I remember back in my Subaru days having them mapped by the late JollyGreenMonster aka Simon. We once mapped it on the road 😂. Then after that on a rolling road, but it transformed the car. Got a few jobs to do on my 981, tyres being one, and you’ve just given me the inspiration!!.
It looks like you have been reacquainted with an old friend who you remember was good but not as good as it is now. Enjoy this reincarnation of a JCW that is quite rare certainly round these parts.
Just absolutely amazing Sir Pete! Ruby looks stunning! A very nicely done makeover! Great job Darren! Sir Pete can’t wait for the review of this car after having it back for a bit and how much you love the changes! Also would be cool to hear what Tracey has to say about ruby now!
Really pleased you've fallen in love with Ruby again, Pete. That was the right thing to do for her, she looks fabulous! Hindsight is a wonderful thing (you went too far).
She looks absolutely amazing mate. Sounds incredible and for me I am very happy to still see you going down the road in her for much more time to come.
Hello Pete. after i watched your first video of ruby i had to get a roadster. i got it about 6 yrs ago but it was my only car so it was my daily. i thought i'd be practical so got a diesel but still didn't regret it. on the facebook page you remarked the colour was stunning. i loved that car but because of ulez it had to go. a few weeks ago when i first saw the video about what you were going to do with ruby my heart sank thinking you were getting rid of her. how glad am i that you've done what you have because i would never use a car like this on a track so a road focused r59 in my eyes is perfection. please, have fun with her and if you ever just end up with one car in your garage let it be Ruby. P.S you could always put a basket on the bike for the pooches
Absolutely love it make me feel really happy when I see you treating the Mini right. It’s looking fantastic and definitely you make the right decision going with this direction for your car 👍🏁
Darren is clearly a genius, ruby looks amazing and it looks like she drives amazingly too!! I think I need someone like Darren to work some magic on my Fiesta ST150 as I’m thinking of changing as it’s not as refined as I’d like and I no longer get the same excitement driving it. Enjoy driving the new Ruby!!
Fantastic update for Ruby, Pete . I really like what Mulgari has done Darren certainly knows his stuff. I'm just wondering, Pete, are you going to have locking wheel nuts with the costs of your tyres and wheels ?. I always have locking nuts on my cars I don't trust anyone on carparks. Happy motoring again you lucky person. I bet your wife will be getting the keys back again for work it'll be a battle. It's well worth updating Ruby.
I was just trying to help. I live by the rule better being safe than sorry Pete. But Ruby is absolutely amazing. I really miss my Mini but had to change due to an accident last year at work injured my back. You should be very proud. 👏 👍
Hi Peter, Ruby looks absolutely fabulous and when you add in the performance and the upgrades you have done its the perfect early Sunday morning drive car. Kind regards Alan B
Darren has done a beautiful job, the styling is spot on. The colour of the wheels is just perfect and a colour I personally would love on my own car. Looking forward to seeing more of Ruby on the channel with some updates on how the new mods are working for you day to day.
Very happy to see that you have sorted out the issues with Ruby. Also thank you for bringing to my attention Mulgari, someone who I may take a drive to visit and see about getting some work carried out.
Massive congratulations on the new ruby roadster updates, Followed since you first purchased her, and can safely say the smile on your face is unbelievable ❤ Seriously if you are ever gonna get rid off the Alcon brakes I would love to have a part off ruby on my Jcw Nemo Pete love the channel and you sir
Oh lord, my completely stock 2015 47k miles JCW R57 is sitting in the garage and I now need Mulgari to take a deep and meaningful look at it….Not bothered about the visuals so much, No 1 for me would be ‘breathing with the road’ rather than trying to beat it into submission…! Next would be the engine more linear power would be great. I’m only 60 miles up the M4 as well….
@@PetrolPed a genuinely unbiased warts and all review of rubys mods would be welcome when you’ve done few miles. Are mulgari really better than mini/bmw engineers at chassis design?
What a transformation!! Looking forward to seeing Ruby in the flesh some time at a meet and greett or whatever... Will be interested to see how those Pilot 5's get on, will probably repalce the tyres on the son's Abarth 595 and Mrs McVitie's Abarth 124 at some point in the future.... And what's the sport mode pop, bang and fart like!!??!!
Hi Ped. Ruby is looking brillant now and pulls like a train! Your original modification videos drew me to your channel so good to see Ruby back and glad you have corrected some annoying issues 🙂
Well done Darren working your Mulgari wizard magic again, ruby looks awesome, I saw this at each stage being transformed...... Thanks for featuring my Enzo too 😃🐾
Awesome video. I love it when you do mini videos, it’s why I followed you in the first place. Have to say Ruby got some going over. Would love my mini to get the same. 🚗💨💨💨
What have you been washing it with, a pick axe handle? It needs clay barring and a mop! Love the upgrades, camber on the wheels actually looks correct now.
I think I saw this in “Cars and Car Conversions” about 40 years ago? Well it said Mini and it had flashy wheels and arches 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I’m still waiting for the Mk1 Capri issue
Ruby looks amazing 👏 looks like I will be calling on Darren! When we met you at the Thruxton bash, you said go to Mulagari .... think its on the cards.
@PetrolPed try and get more old classics etc to the channel Pete I went through the older content you have and preferred the puma st, i20n, honda type r etc etc Don't get me wrong like watching the new m3 etc
Ruby looks and sounds so great. It certainly put a lot of smiles on your face when you saw her and drove her home.
Oh yes 🙌
So glad you gave it the chance to be the car you deep down knew it could be. Im upgrading my cooper to a jcw today. Wish me luck!
Honestly mate Ruby looks stunning! I love the colour of the alloys and the JPS colour combo too. The attention to detail and mapping are spot on. Darren is such a humble knowledgeable enthusiast, hope to see you do more things with him.

Maybe time for another 🤔😜😂
@@PetrolPed Well, yes, if Mini still made them. I'm doing OK with my Mazda MX-5 Miata as something of a substitute for Geoffrey.
Peter, Ruby now sounds like a performance car that has been done right.
👍

Maybe one day!
