My First Mini... a ~230whp RMW modded BRG beast!



I'm the third owner, got it for a reasonable sum. It's a fun little ride. It moves! But more importantly it corners like nothing I've ever driven -- and I used to have a GTR.

Looking forward to my time with this little car.

I've named it: Boogie

Welcome to NAM! What GTR did you used to have? An R35? These MINI's sure are fun and those are some good horses under the hood!

@PelicanParts: Had a 2015 R35 SEMA build that fell through, so I traded it in for an SL. Business had a hard time, so I bought a mini cash to save some coin overall. Something I can have fun in.

Very nice. I've had the pleasure of driving a few R32's. Should be getting in an R35 sometime this year too. Fun cars, but yes the MINI is also extremely fun as well and with that HP I'm sure you're having a blast.
