    car friends, ever since i saw the italian job..i took a liking sa mga mini coopers. i would wana own one sana, just wanted to know kung:
    1. ok lang kaya sa pinas driving mga minis,
    2. kailangan pa ba import mga parts nila?
    3. tsaka if they are really pocket rockets (opinion ng iba faster pa daw sa most sports cars, is it true?) thanks

    are you talking of the classic minis or the new minis by bmw? mahal yung gawa ng bmw, up to 1.8M(?). may thread yata dito ang mini pilipinas. dami daw parts for the minis & yes, they are pocket rockets. i heard they were call 'leeches' because of how they hug the corners at high speed.

    Parehong maganda yung classic tsaka BMW version. Pero if I had the money, I'd probably go for the classic Mini.

    I take note that the BMW MINI is certainly more stylish and more sophisticated (my office workstation is practically a shrine dedicated to it). My only problem is I find it rather imposing in terms of size, which somewhat defeats the purpose of having a Mini, IMO.

    See what happens when you take a Honda VTEC engine and put it in a classic Mini.

    Aww man thanks for creating this thread. I'd really like to own one, I love these types. I've seen some BMW Minis and they rock. The Italian Job shows the Mini's extreme potential. :D

    Any BMW Mini owners here? Kamusta parts and after-sales service nila? How much ba brand new ngayon? Sino ba dealers ng Minis here dito?

    been using the classic mini for 3 years now wala naman problema
    actually, it's my wife's everyday car ang nakakagulat mas naging
    kaskasera pa wife ko ngayon kesa sa akin. Once kase you're in a mini
    you really can't help na apakan ng apakan ang accelerator, iba talaga
    power nya. Kung hindi kase matulin takbo mo yong mini mismo ang nagre-
    reklamo ayaw nya ng mabagal na takbo gusto nya parati humahataw ka.
    Ang maganda pa kahit traffik pwede isingit kahit masikip pati parking kahit
    saan pwede.wala rin problema sa parts kase marami na rin naman dito
    kadalasan pa nga give-away lang basta present ka lang parati sa
    EB kase kung absent ka malalamangan ka naman. I'm happy with the
    mini lalo na wife ko mas ulol pa nga kese sa akin e ayaw na nga humiwalay
    sa mini e gusto ko ng magselos pero mas okay na rin yon kesa iba pa
    pagkaabalahan

    OT:

    drive and looks like Charlize Theron of Italian Job....

    wwwheeewww perfect ...ganda ng misis mo sir..

    OnT :
    sarap nga sa traffic iyan ..yun MINI pa humihingi ng tulin kaya kung wla ka control magdrive always ka speed jan ..gaan kasi ng kaha at lakas ng engine ..kaya sarap ihataw..

    parang iyong MINICA namin dati ..
    kinabitan namin 4K engine ..
    ang tulin binibigay nya talaga ang arangkada
