Gordon – my Mini is a 3-door Cooper S hatchback. (The little quick one!). Very impressed and, as said, running in at moment. Don’t want to break any of its complex machinery. Launch control? Not yet, if ever. There seems to be quite a bit of interest in the Mini range from others in our Forum so I will be starting a new thread in the Off Topic bit rather than clog up other people’s threads with Mini stuff. See you there?
