Thanks for the review Luke, shame it was damp so we couldn’t get the full experience…. Maybe next time 😉

[@tdoteva4973]

You need to do a custom awd system on that

[@kenrossaukrsa]

You broke his Virginity😊

[@Tony_K20_EJ2]

Yeah Dan is a nice guy and the mini is a serious bit of kit, it’s a shame we couldn’t experience the cars full potential, like when we raced on OG battles it wasn’t the greatest weather and cars like this need good conditions, we need a good dry day then see what it can do 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@goughys.i30n]

Lol the fear on your face says it all Luke! That's a mental pocket rocket!

[@Marcj140286]

Fairplay what a car,another brilliant review 👏

[@R19Robbin]

That thing looks insane to drive 😂🚀

[@professionalbodger]

LOVE IT!! My monkey brain is considering my options for my build...🤣 Awesome vid dude!

[@kevinneary2283]

Amazing build looks very dangerous

[@flight.5133]

thats what makes it fun

[@air.fuel.gogogo]

Awesome! Would love to see more built oldskool on the channel

[@lav773]

That looks like a lot of fun

[@richardjones4175]

Great review as always. But can I ask what is the title of the music you have used . Many thanks

[@MonteiroM]

Wow, love it

[@MegaPorsche911]

Luke you are becoming the next OG car reviewer, congrats man. When are you going to be driving the cars that you review?

[@richardsealey3626]

Insurance?............

[@philip244]

@@richardsealey3626don’t need it, just need drivers permission

[@neilbenton1152]

Love it but id be terrified as a passenger 😂

[@maxnewts]

I wonder if issigonis would know how these would end up… 😂

[@richardsealey3626]

Yes, I think he would.............

[@VtecTurboMiniGuy]

It’s still FWD at least 😅

[@scott2495]

Wouldnt be so bad if it could put the power down

[@VtecTurboMiniGuy]

Driving it in the damp didn’t help

[@Original_sneakman1]

Dans such a nice guy I love his energy I’ve met him once or twice at his work and he is always smiling and happy. These are the kinda people you need in your life. 🙏

[@thatsmyrc]

I want it

[@Generalkenobi325]

I think with some added weight over that front end would make a big difference putting the power down, maybe like adding downforce

[@jackbernard484]

Mad that i work around the corner from here

[@ARDEN440i]

Any guesses on the 60-130? Mid to high 5s I reckon

[@mikeypv6]

Is this the orange Mini that was on Officially Gassed a few years back?

[@VtecTurboMiniGuy]

Jamie never reviewed the orange mini with the turbo hanging out the front, that was LLF. Jamie did review this blue mini a few times a few years ago

[@mikeypv6]

@VtecTurboMiniGuy oh true... they often have the same car but can never forget seeing the thumbnail and the first time I seen the car... amazing crazy fun 😁

[@RWL2012]

8:59 speeding 9:08 more speeding 9:15 yet more speeding, so you're yet another channel that think it's right to break the law?

[@tbone7844]

Couldn’t you get a bigger brake and wheel set up on this car ? Would make a nuts off roader.

[@basilistheo6269]

too much power for this platform!with less power it will be more drivable and efficient

[@VtecTurboMiniGuy]

Yes, but no way near as fun!

[@basilistheo6269]

Ok I can't feel it and I don't know!off course is a nice project!

[@philip244]

@@VtecTurboMiniGuyscrambling for grip is shit not fun

[@VtecTurboMiniGuy]

@@philip244 Fun is subjective so your comment is a little biased. People build drift cars for fun, how much grip do they have? I have other cars for grip (one that you will see shortly as Luke has also reviewed it). The mini is for fun, it grips well enough on dry days. Just so happened to be wet on this video which makes the car struggle, still, we both had fun!
