Hello from Miami,
i used to own a 2008 cooper works model, traded her in for a ford F250 super duty to pull the family's fishing boat, missed the cooper a lot.
I was lucky to stumble on to a 2013 GP at Braman Mini of miami with only 7K miles on her. The rest is history i am back thunder grey and all.
i wont bore you all with pics you know what she looks like.
I will say this it is awesome what they were able to do with the handling and power on this model absolutely love this GP model..... oh btw she came with a akropovic exhaust system not loud at all i must say, wish it was a bit louder.
any how i am happy to be back in the cooper family

regards
jack

Congrats on the GP, Jack. Good to know about the Akropovic exhaust. It's one of the ones I'm considering, but like you I want it to be loud. Guess I'll need to look elsewhere. Thanks for the tip!

Welcome back as the GP is ideal choice. Please post pics of it as I've had 2 customers with GPs that we installed Akrapovic exhaust on so it may be one of their cars. I also have the Akrapovic on my GP and it is perfect.

If you want to hear it in person let me know as you can stop by and take a ride in my GP if you want to know for sure.
