by any chance you wouldnt have gone down to cleethorpes recently?

i remember seeing a silver starlet turbo a week or two ago


and 90bhp and about 80ft/lbs of torque in a mini will feel much faster than that starlet, believe me

How powerful is the toyota?

A mini won't need anywhere near as much power due to the weight of it, and even if it isn't as quick, it'll feel quicker!

I don't know, Starlets are bloody quick, especially turbo's! Will feel as quick as they're not much bigger than a Mini. Although I think a supercharged Mini would be better than a turbo, personally.

It will take some money to get Starlet Turbo performance.
