Somehow I missed linking to this Lime Rock video from Drew / NewYorkCityMINI when he announced it on NAM …
UPDATE: that video no longer works, but here’s one that George made:
OctaneGuy details a GP
And you should see the amount of picture documentary – head over to NAM and check out GP0337 being given the ultimate detailing treatment!
Fireball Tim does MTTS, part 3
Head over to Fireball Tim and follow the link to watch part 3 of their CarTV MTTS coverage (still with the annoying Kia yodel!er) … less MINIs and more Route 66 this time, although watch for MINI USA VP Jim Mcdowell getting “washed”!
MotoringFile “reviews” the GP
Actually more of a “phone call” about the GP than a review …
Gabe does describe the GP as “utterly fantastic” and it’s performance is “intoxicating”, but he also drives it quite aggressively during a cold snow storm resulting in minimal grip, where he describes it as “completely useless in anything but dry weather” … have a listen!
UPDATE:
Gabe has posted part 2 of his “podcast” review – it includes some excellent acceleration sounds, and lots more discussion about the tires …
Color coded trim
See this MINI2 thread where RaymondMC9 shows pictures of his GP with wheel arches, bumper trim and boot handle painted Thunder Blue to match the rest of the car:
