Although GBMINI stayed home in America, I recently had the chance to visit the John Cooper Works in south east England. There were a lot of MINIs and Minis there, in various states of upgrade:
Talking to Mike Cooper and other people working there was very interesting – as was seeing MINIs in various states of disassembly as they are upgraded. The successful John Cooper Challenge, which gives people the chance to race & compete at a sensible cost in upgrade MINI Coopers, will this year include 200hp upgraded MINI Cooper S vehicles which should make the racing even more entertaining – shame we won’t see it covered in USA!
