Hello 'Chump' - your 1st post after 5-6 yrs of ownership. Maybe you could register your (140) car on this forum? Sounds like you have an immaculate T :cool:

Mike - welcome. Have you registered your T? Where on planet earth are you located? After waiting 3 years, how are you finding the T experience?

I'd take these rolling road power quotes with a pinch of salt on the basis that there are just too many variables.

Buy-back?

just another 75,135 miles to go then!

Nice photos and car looks very clean!

Pistonheads link - to video

Just over half way through the video whilst he's in the GTR.

On EVOs website there is an article about the new Mini Cooper JCW GT - I spotted it wears Kumho Ecsta V300 tyres. Are Kumho tyres any good?

Nice one Dave - fingers crossed.

Mine are de-pinned but for everyday driving the standard setting seems perfect. What do you think?

So no then.

Have you bought a pair from them at this price?

Sam - did you have any symptoms to suggest that new shafts are required?

That's not true, you've seen mine and Cams :)

Great update! Hard boiled eggs spotted?

Wow - you were a long way from home!

The 'hall of shame' might be a good place for the magazine to look? :)

Reminds me of Ben's... 'shed'

I can't send any private messages, the message I get is "reached my stored message quota, so need to make space". But how?!!

chav-tastic?

Page 132 bottom of 2nd column. Suggests Mini's engineers should have driven a Clio Trophy and fitted Sach dampers if they were serious about the Coupe's sporting credentials...

I get the impression reading recent posts that dampers refurbished by BG do not last very long, perhaps a year or two but many seem to fail much quicker. I am sure there will be a small number of situations when BG are not to blame, but it is worrying. With the price of new dampers falling of...

BTW You can either buy replacement parts or get the seas re-covered by a specialist. Not such a big deal.

Are TDF very good for routine servicing e.g. cam belts and the like? As good as RenTech / Birchdown?

This is what Gazza commented last July, "My dampers both failed in under a year and BG sorted them for nothing only last week. On mine there were no visible signs of a problem but gas had escaped from cracks in the reservoir body." From memory, I don't think Gazza got to the bottom of the cause...

R32s sound lovely!

Gazza experienced something similar - Mark Fish was looking after his car, he ended up dealing with BG - the upshot was they were refurbed again for no fee

Gungo - I agree. I've had two quick spins in a 200 and was left completely underwhelmed in so many areas. The Trophy feels so light and nimble, with impressive low-down grunt. Roundabouts almost become invisible.

Bonkers?
