looked like a great day for it!! i drove mine all weekend ,well it did pass MOT so i couldnt resist. Must say your car sounds really nice is it just the standard exhaust because its got a really nice sound on the pick up. good vid!

I think JP said it was standard before and mine sounds like that. It's got a lot to do with having the standard filter housing - it sounds like more of a growl than the whoosh you get with a cone

[minimaxie]

wish mine sounded like that!

Haha yeah One of my friends has a stage one set up on his 1275 but with a big 2.5" tailpipe. He said that he wished it sounded as good as my standard one onboard haha That's why if I ever went for twin carbs I'd want to get an original cooper s housing for it to keep the noise more civil and hopefully sounding a bit like it does now

my vid kept jumping so missed it but watched it again when fully loaded and realised doh mines 1275 with standard filter ,duno what exhaust ive got buts its bigger than standard and got the standard filter but would love to get a noise like that when my foot hits the floor

[86mayfair]

At higher revs the sound comes more from the exhaust manifold than the carbs though so that might have something to do with it. I think the videos never quite pick up the noise properly though

Good video, music not to my taste though.

I mount my camera on a tripod, and then tie the tripod to the window winder and the choke knob, still shakes a bit though.

country roads !! mini heaven

[JP Detailing]

Lol thanks for all the comments Ill try it with a mate and tripod next time!

Note on the music - I only put it on as it was the first song that was playing when I first played Dirt 3 in the Mini Cooper lol

Wicked video above by the way! Gotta try some lanes

Do what i do.. Get a camera phone, with some bluetac :) And bluetac it to the dash & front window. Works like a charm. Only bumps it gets are the bumps you and the car feel
