We’ve reviewed the Countryman twice so far taking the ALL4 Cooper S to the track and the Cooper automatic to the backroads of Kansas. Today topped them all (in miles driven) with a 500 miles jaunt across the Kansas two-lane highway. Where yesterday we had fantastic twisties and elevation changes (yes in Kansas) today it [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

This has been brewing for some time with various customer complaints over the years about the high pressure fuel pumps going out on the turbo charged MCS and JCW R55 R56 and R57 cars built from 2007 to 2009 (when they made some mechanical changes). So here’s what MINI is sending to owners of the [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

Our friends in Germany at Bigblogg had a chance to preview a few of the upcoming JCW accessories bound for dealers later this fall. We had already shown you the JCW aero-kit but until now hadn’t seen the rumored 19″ JCW wheels. The R129 wheels come in two finishes and cost either € 2499 (flat [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

There was a moment. A slight moment (as they say on the track) that made two things suddenly very clear. First off the Cooper Countryman I was driving had all seasons on it. Secondly (and more profound) is that no matter the spec, the Countryman is a MINI at heart. The moment? [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

Spice Orange with Green Lounge Leather. Yes Green. We’ll hopefully be behind the wheel soon. Until then here are some quick thoughts:The Spice orange is a bit of a disappointment in our eyes. Where the previous orange was too light and creamy, this is too dark and bronze-like. The green lounge leather [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

Also check back for driving impressions of [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

Video from today driving from Chicago to Indy. The day’s highlight (so far) was driving on the Speedway with another couple hundred (at least) MINIs. Yes it was slow but it’s always a great to pass over the field of bricks on the main straight.</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

The night is winding down and we’re talking about the Countryman, 19″ wheels and the very rare Bridger.us/MINI t-shirt. Oh and then Chad decides installing a Cravenspeed iPhone 4 mount on State St. in Chicago is a good idea. (Photos after the break)</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

I’m only showing you this angle because there is nothing else to see. What you are looking at is a bone stock Cooper S that MINI USA has given for MTTS. Ok, someone at the port did throw on the JCW aerokit, but other than that it’s a $23k Cooper S and nothing more. In [...]</img></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше

Over the years MINI has amassed quite a few videos in its YouTube library.

Добавить нечего!!! Было просто супер! Я катался на треке в Мизано, Зандвурте и Сильверстоуне, и могу сказать, что трасса под Каунасом круче их всех вместе взятых!
