For those that don't know All Girls Garage is on Velocity Channel and they did a Mini build. Coop was lucky enough to have been selected as the build car.

It's not available online at this time. You have to catch it on re-runs

Saw the show, how long did it really take to do the work? More than 20 minutes I assume.

Bogi is the one that actually knows Mini's. She's actually certified as a Mini mechanic and was the one that wanted to do a Mini Build.

That's frickin' awesome. I still think they should do a Mini Build with mine. I like their show.

They have done work on a Fiat 500 (also a fun car to drive) before too, they did it at one of the auto events in Vegas.

I saw that. Nice freebie.

There's a guy that produces the show named Allegretti. I knew some of them when my son was growing up. Wondered if it was same family.

Interesting but by putting a smaller pulley on the JCW supercharger the increased boost results in more heat that the stock intercooler cannot handle. Also they put the non-dampered crank pulley on that can put more stress on the crank. If the crank pulley was off it would also seem logical to have replaced the crank oil seal as well. Would thought they upgraded the brakes to JCW red calipers as well but you cannot look a Frebie gift horse in the mouth.

The suspension upgrades, strut tower plates, air box and coil packs were also good upgrades.

They stayed pretty clean doing all that work, I must be doing something wrong.

Have fun with the car!!!!!
