- The ultimate shakedown!!
After the big resto on the Mini (link to the playlist below) I decide to take it somewhere I haven't been in a very long time, they've put average speed cameras on it now so I want to see if it's been ruined or if it's still a fun place to visit. The Nurburgring of North Wales!

Ben : You will be far over 20 K subs by the end of this year . If a guy had the right personality for a YT channel , it is most certainly you . The sky is your only limit . I look forward to being here when you get your first 100 k sub play button plaque ! Carry on mate .You sure got what it takes .
Thank you John ❤
The cheque is in the post ☺
Such a great little car. It still amazes me how much room there is inside those things.
They’re like little go karts!
Surprised me how comfortable it is!
Ohhhh be still my beating OCD, that air freshener is meant to be opened into a 3D heart 😂
.....try living in Wales now 20MPH is our life. We're all motorbike riders crying as our favourite roads are all speed camera nightmares.
Bring back the good old days of Sunday morning blasts from Wrexham to Barmouth, the wind in our helmets, bugs splattering our screens, not a tyre tread left as we arrived home after fish and chips to be asked 'how the hell did you survive that you nutter!?', lol MAGIC! 😂😂
Very very much enjoying all your content. Thank you!
I was in Wales this last weekend and my impression was that the 20MPH limits were only really applied to areas where there is housing (so towns and villages mostly) and plenty of country roads where the national speed limits still apply. I think more is being made out of this than necessary. In Oxford, all residential areas have been 20MPH for about a decade. Accidents are down and there are far fewer injuries and fatalities, which has to be a good thing. In truth, Oxfords roads are so congested, doing more than 20 is hard except when the roads are quiet.
@@pierre-de-standing I was born in Aylesbury lol yes I totally agree with you, 20 mph around residential areas and schools is a good thing, true also congestion. But our old favourite road from here was the A525 all average speed cameras now, nationals are few and far between.
More time to look at the scenery I guess 😎
Ace Mini! Takes me back to the good old days of crap wipers where there was always uncleared spot right in your line of sight 😅
I love seeing that you drive it as intended. You can’t beat the sound of an A series working hard.
First class!!
Brilliant, Ben enjoyed that.. much appreciated🙏 Done it a little quicker on the bike but wouldn't risk it now 😉... take care 😊
Great fun Ben, glad you enjoyed it and a great set of wheels.
What a fantastic car, great to see you’re enjoying the result of a lot of hard work. Your engaging personality will see you smash through 20k VERY soon. Well done Ben.
Cheers Craig!
Bleeding love it, great stuff Ben. A car built to be enjoyed!
Lovely sounding engine..great ride. Those cameras need an inconspicuous visit from a dark hoodie at night ....fr...👍👍
Great little video on a great little Mini. Last time I saw the twin headlight conversion was on Linda McCartneys pink Wood and Pickett custom mini as I live in the same village as Paul Mcartney 😊
Not only is it cool, but you're not afraid to give it a work out
what a road and what an awsome car to do it in,do it again in the mr2 when you get it done ,if they are real fans of yours they will enjoy the vids you put out as its all about the cars you have fettled with ,carry on the lords work ( jeremy clarkson) lol
Our lord and saviour JC 😂
This is one of the best sounding Minis I've ever heard. Yes, I've got the nostalgia of the grumble you get from riding in a Mini along with the usual drivetrain whine. But this is soemthing else - it's got a real consistent, clean purr to it. I love it.
Absolutely addicted to the noise of the thing!
This is what I wanted my old mini to be back in the day when I was a spotty teen flipping through the pages of Mini World. My wallet and my insurance company both said no to anything more glamorous than searching a junkyard for scrapped minis and nicking used bucket seats, steering wheels and alloys out of them.
@@misterthegeoff9767 One of the "joys" of being a youth in Britain and having motorbikes or cars was going shopping or browsing and trying to work out if you'd get bloody insured for the thing you wanted.
Very much regret selling my GT after watching this, it was a real drivers car. Love your Gt and perfect for the A roads
That is an amazing car, fella. You have definitely done it proud. Only jist found your channel on Wednesday but am hooked already
When you speeded up the footage, the voice and engine sounded like my mrs hoovering up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben I love your uploads.. always fun, and always learn a thing or 2. That mini is amazing, the road trip vid is great, I loved it. Thanks for all the hard work. All the best mate
Keep up the good work Ben, loving the videos and the work you do, Thank you😁
You’re a great guy!! Very funny love your content I hope you get the 20k followers fingers crossed 🤞 love the mini! Keep going 😊
It was great to see it in the metal at the show Ben.
Sorry Ben, I don't understand what you are asking.
Great video brings back memories my first car back in the late 80,s Blue 1976 mini clubman 1100 Mountney steering wheel , weller 8 spokes and a peco big bore exhaust happy days 👍
The mini is awesome Ben, wonderful job you have done on it.
Nice mini sir, also nice to see you in Wales where cyclists overtake you and don't give you 1.5 meters, and while i'm here i might as well say that the little triumph needs to be British racing green. keep up the good buddy.
My mates 1275 GT was in France stored on a campsite until an obnoxious worker decided to sell it for scrap…. I managed to save the badges, then watched as it was picked up and put in a large skip and then crushed…. RIP BOB 😢
DO NOT SELL YOUR MINI…. !
This much fun is irreplaceable.
I love Minis, and this one is superb. Great angles on the interior filming, it really gives you a feel of thrashing about in that unique Mini driving position.
Your editing is awesome 👍
Cheers mate 🍻
Brilliant video. That Mini is fantastic. I really do miss my Clubman.
What amazing little car! Great video!
Great car and video 😊
Not suggesting you do it, but Clarkson had an idea, go past the first camera, stop and have a picnic, then BLAST as fast as possible to the next 😅
I grew up with Minis & always loved the Clubman having owned an Estate. This Clubby is truly amazing and you’ve done a fabulous job!
First I'd heard of the Evo Triangle was through Mr. HubNut taking Myrtle the Matiz round it, not the sportiest of cars, but he had fun... :P
Crackin video mate you nailed it that mini really enjoyed it keep up the great vids 👍👍👌
Brilliant Ben. Now just got a mini cooper s which is quick. Seems like the place to go test it out. 😊
Fantastic little car, absolutely love it, that engine noise is addictive.
Absolute icon of a car is the mini.
A great car on a great road. You should be proud of what you have created. Cheers again for some great content
Love to see you drive that mini round the Nurburgring.
I'm happy for you !🎉
Love the mini ben i don't think i would change a thing i like the aggressive look and stance of it .and it sounds mint im well jealous lol.cant wait for the next video take care.
Amazing car, great drive, wish I still had mine. I put the MG Metro engine in mine, scared me to death, easily outrun Nova GTE's away from lights. Happy days.
That Mini sounds absolutely epic!!!!!
Great little motor! Love that sound!. Nuff said!. 🙂
Really enjoyed that Ben that mini sounds amazing
Proud of you for handbraking at the junction 🫡
🫡🫡🫡
Is it me or does that mini sound fantastic!! What a job you have done Ben again top YT content if your not subscribed to Tasty Classics WHY NOT!!!
WOW fantastic video Ben, what a car really enjoyed it, just like being sat in the passenger seat, this car is worth a bundle. Thank you
Great video, shame the weather stopped other views . Can't guess the amount of times I've driven those roads over the years, fantastic driving roads.
Cracking video, don't need massive power to have fun.
I used to 'do' similar things back in the 80's in my first car (Fiat126 devile) the difference in performance made up by having a quadrophonic 8-track belting out 60's music whilst driving enthusiastically around North Wales !
There must be a mathematical way of recording a lap time verses the average speed cameras. As for Minis Ive had my share, my last one was on a frame in my garage being converted to a soft top and due to a marriage break up I was not in the mood for that bonnet "safety" catch going through the top of my head for the third time that day so with blood dripping down my back I dropped the shell off the frame loaded all of the rest of my mini spares into the car and towed it out of the garage with my Suzuki sj413 and phoned a scrap man! Mind you I have always been the go to guy in the workshop for SU tune ups ! Great Video Thanks TC
Ahh man thats the car life isn't it! SJ413 absolutely brilliant little car, I've had two sj410s and one sj413, loved them I'd love to do one for the channel
Nothing you can do about the weather make it’s the UK lol I absolutely adore that little mini I’m 6”5 and 140kg so doubt I’d get in it but still love it so much.
great vid as usual the mini looks fab
I think i never seen a mini 1400 GT. And you have done a Great job on it ❤
I love the mini I had one 1380 very enjoyable and you have done a brilliant job on urs
Great work well done Ben ❤ I did up a 1275 to a 1380 in 1985 and it was a complete disaster 😢
a neat little trip
I have a classic mini and live in South Wales. Hardly anyone does 20mph. Most agree that in some built up areas its fine but its been badly implemented to say the least. Add to that average speed cameras, speed humps and horrific pot holes everywhere. Thankfully I still have a few off grid places I can enjoy. Drakeford needs to go. Great vid 😊
Great video, great car, I don't live that far from that start point, starts with a C and struggle to pronounce it never mind spell it😂😂😂
Hey Ben just subscribed to your channel I’ve been binge watching great entertainment love the stuff you do especially the classic older cars 🚘 looking forward to watching all your back videos and future videos Great Stuff
Robert (Teeside)U.K
That was a deal fun watch, and all of this is on my door step think I’ll take the abarth down there.
I always used to lower the steering column n putta 10inch Mountney wheel m8 awesome video m8👍👍
Having owned a hot mini. I can say they are amazing cars. This one is fantastic. Great video, great road, great car!
Love that car Ben, it's a credit to you, well done mate
💙 love the sound of that engine 👍
great build ben
love an old mini
plz dont sell its mint
Fanstatic car😍👌
Nice one Ben, stunning car. I've heard that the average speed cameras have issues detecting black and silver plates. They haven't got my spitfire yet but then again it may not have been going fast enough 🤣
Interesting to know! 🫡🫡🫡
That is a true fact 😏
Hi i am from Ireland and i live on a beef farm and i like your TH-cam videos keep it up 🇮🇪🐂🇮🇪🚜
Thanks Peter!
Perfect handbrake to camera 👌
TIFF needell eat your heart out
Stunning ❤
Fantastic really enjoyed that
fantastic car brilliant video
love the mini mate always fancied one myself.
Awesome looking and sounds fabulous, cheers for the trip, looks like you had a blast. Just one thought…., that engine is working pretty hard to stay at 70, I’m pretty sure my brother had an MG metro back in the day and I seem to recall it having a 5 speed box ?. Is there a 5 speed box that you could mate with this feisty engine to give it more legs at higher speeds ??, if there was, the ratios would be closer all the way through the box and you would also benefit low down too.
fantastic car 😍
Nice sound... it remember me a Stebro FF exhaust used in Cooper S.
Surely I'm not the only one that noticed the leaky windscreen? 😅 From 25:20 bottom left corner of the screen, you can see bubbles.
I'm watching at 480p resolution and it's clear as day 😂
You make me smile m8 👍
Absolutely stunning car.
Sounds awesome
What a beautiful thing 👌🏻
Ben that mini is a beast if I had the cash I'd rip your arm off haha!! Minis always put a smile on your face 😊
Ace video 👌🏻
90mph redline sounds like standard gear ratios for a mini of that era. My 1982 mini 1000HL used to hit valve bounce at 78mph in 4th, they were never set up for motorway speeds. it was only in the 90s when they started having trouble with emissions regulations that they started to put longer gearing in.
Nice car great road
Take on a road trip to the Isle of Man, and do a lap of the TT track ,
Great brilliant I have a lancer I'd like to try it out on the ring
Is that a Vauxhall victor front grill and lights . ? Looks great and sounds awesome . 👍
Great video... But.. You missed 2 fantastic roads, instead of turning right off the A5 onto the Denbigh Moor road, stay on the A5 and take the left onto the B4405 signed 'Isbty Ifan' brilliant road, head for Blaenau Ffestiniog and then Betswy Coed. Evo usually took photos at the lake near the end of the 4407.
The 2nd road was at the end of your triangle, go left onto the 5104, absolutely brilliant road that is similar to the 5105.
Bet the Mini was great, being so small would give you lots of lane to play in, I spent so many weekends on my Zx10r over there on those roads, my self imagined riding god status usually punctured by some spotty youth in an Astra van overtaking uphill on a blind bend.... 😂
Cracking little Mini, so angry sounding! I've never owned one of these (i can't fit in them being a lanky 6 foot 6 incher!), but a mate had one, and he let me have a go in it, but from the back seat! I kid you not! Took the front seat out, put a couple of cushions on the back seat, and my long legs and arms did reach the pedals and wheel. And yes, it did feel weird driving it like that!! I know that part of Wales pretty well (i've lived in various parts of the wee country over the years)......very pretty and open. Was wondering if you've done the horse shoe pass route near Llangollen? That's a good one to drive. Back to the Mini, i'm curious about the front grill....what's that from? It looks a perfect fit, sets the car off nicely. Looking forward to the next segment on the MR2...and that little Spitty too....keep up the good work.😇👍
Think grill is from a Vauxhall Victor (sectioned in the middle).
My first car was a black mini❤😊
What about the sound of freedom you nailed it in one go what was your average speed per leg or was that naughty crack on
Looks like a great paint finish judging by the depth of the reflections. Ben you're a pretty smooth driver behind the wheel..
Have you been involved in motor racing?
I’ve seen that before somewhere, with the FD Victor grill … 😮x
The mini sounds great what make of exhaust system have you got on it
Just a Minisport back box! A lot of the noise is coming from the big SU carb sucking away 😍😍
Absolutely brilliant car great roads just wondering if you closed the choke or keept it open all day
Strangely the chokes on the left, that thing that looks like the choke is for changing the temperature of the blower! 😅
Thanks
Thank you ❤
I might have missed the video, but how is this a 1400GT?
How does it differ from the 1275GT?
My second car was a Mini Mayfair (posh i know), unfortunately, whilst passing an accicident, i rear ended the car in front and it was written off. There nothing like ragging a mini, just to keep up with traffic!
It's got a 1400 Minisport stage 3 red engine, so I changed the badges etc to match, it started life off as a 1275GT ❤️
Probably A good thing 50 speed on them roads in that mini 🙈
