Rentech Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Followed a Works GP down the dual carriageway, by me, yesterday. Lovely car and only just managed to keep up . Apparentley, I read, only 450 sold in this country. Decided to post on the mini2 forum and amazingly got a response. Nice to meet some fellow petrolheads Rentech: Nice works GP along the A45 towards Birmingham about 30 minutes ago. Appeared in my rear view mirror along a country lane outside Hampton in Arden then we continued past the airport. At the lights I followed you until the speed camera spoilt the fun......and I was trying to keep up in my 350Z Gave you the thumbs up as I turned off Beautiful looking car, just been reading up about it on the net. Works GP driver: god bless you sir! me and my mate were out for a spin! my mate caught the thumbs up off you! i must say your cars lovely too! Works GP passenger:That was me sitting in the passenger seat we where discussing how nice your 350z was, bloody lovely car! We gave you the thumbs up too as you turned off. now that makes the day excellent! Just washed mine now and ready for the piston heads tunnel run Rich if you read this next Sunday there is the breakfast club in Wolverhampton with mini addiction if you interested in coming? Quote
Stew Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Nice to get a response and it shows all petrolheads are like minded people! Quote
H5 Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Nice response. I had a little trip alongside one of these a while ago. They're not slow. Quote
Randomfry Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Ahh thats nice to see. I had a bit of fun with a bmw m6 convertible earlier. Granted he was pushing me along pretty much but he must of liked the sound of it as i got a thumbs up too. Quote
Digsy Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Cool! MINI2 was a very friendly site when I used to frequent it. Quote
bronzee Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 If they're anything like the Mini Club folk we have there, they'll be a cool bunch. Do not mess with these mini's Happy days Certainly not when you're doing grass gymkhana's and motorkhana's, especially in reverse. They beat Zeds hands down every time, Zeds are too big for that behaviour really. Sounds like you had a fun little play. Quote
tweedbean Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 Holy thread resurrection but this was a mate of mine in the MINI. He has now sold it on and now runs a 250BHP + Cooper S. This encounter is the reason he is trying to talk me out of a 350Z as he keeps saying how slow it must be to not be able to keep up with his stock 218bhp MINI GP. Quote
Neilp Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I had a cooper works gp and it's a bloody fast car. It really is a road going track car. Simply brilliant bit of kit and very agile Quote
