Doug Whalen is going to machine a couple of gear Knobs for me once he receives my original Subaru knob for dimensions etc. Actually I.ll post pic when they come over from the states but until then Prodrive will do nicely.
spooks Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I take it your a lover of mini's then............. I wont tell you my proffesion but needless to say ................. Where do you get your mini servicing done? Spooks

spooks Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 So its all your fault then Used to use Mini2 forums but cant remember my password etc. Used it when it first started to try and keep up to date with the issues the mini had. nice looking cars you have ........................ well for mini's anyways Gotta admit the JCW is agreat wee tool so cant imagine what yer hard top with 275 is like ................ go kart springs to mind. Spooks
st3ph3n Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I've got the black prodrive knob in that picture in my 2005 all thanks to Jamie. It's a much nicer feeling than the regular one. Except on cold mornings when it feels like it might freeze to my hand.
ScoobyAndy Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 nice looking cars you have ........................ well for mini's anyways ...... well said spooks m8. hartop looks amazing!!!! and thats coming from someone that doesnt really like mini's
gordon_kerr Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Nice cars Fiona, 275bhp on a mini sounds mental, what level of traction do you get? How does it compare to the scoob, call me a nosey bugger lol. Gordon
imprezapete Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 Anyone got a idea on the cost for a silver Prodrive knob?

martin_brown Posted March 22, 2005 Posted March 22, 2005 I may be wrong on this but i thought these were the ones you get from a dealer for £45 - after the sidc discount ?

How does it compare to the scoob, call me a nosey bugger lol. Gordon >> well to be truely honest 275 bhp is to much for the car when you floor it you realy have to hang to that steering. with it being supercharged I feel the speed more instant than the scooby but haven't opened the scooby up yet really got leda suspension on the mini with the gas bump and rebound etc in fact the exact same set up as the John Cooper Works challenge cars in the States and boy can you whip it round the corners right on the limit hugging just till you feel the back straining to let go. I have say saw of a Scooby was a bit of payback about 3 weeks previous a scooby overtook me on the road just off the tore roundabout heading towards muir of ord it was a realy agressive move by them resulting in a big huge stone coming up and getting my windscreen on my week old mini cabrio so if you are reading this ta very much had to get a new windscreen. However a couple of weeks ago was in the blue mini hard top saw them in front of me on the same road and it was me that zapped past you leaving you for dead.
gordon_kerr Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 Thanks for that Fiona, i doubted if a mini could handle 275 bhp without it being a white knuckle ride, you should have got that scoobs reg number as he is liable for your windscreen damage, i only found that out today as some bugger done it to me this morning, first day back in the scoob after an ankle injury, my brother is a cop in Falkirk and he informed me who was liable after i paid the excess to Autoglass, never mind, wiser next time.
