Who is this Guy. I am in Canada, born London, first car nini, second Austin Cooper 'S'. Light of my life, abused it, chased Cortina GT 1500's, needed horepower. Such great fun..Nick, watched many videos, great cars but you are the master driver, agressive bugger with supreme skills. Proud of you. Dave.
Travelling from Australia... see you at the 20th anniversary of the Goodwood revival Nick!!... can not wait to see you throw the mighty mini around the track at the revival again!! :-)
Hm, if you have the ££££, you get get all the best parts from MED Engineering, but as they don't build (many don't for liability reasons), you'd have to DIY it. I'm nearly finished rebuilding a 1981 Classic Mini, had I bought a complete lump (assembled inc gearbox) it would have been about £4500 for a fast road unit. A racer would be a lot more. Check out: th-cam.com/video/Ho3gIhAdalA/w-d-xo.html
what is the spec of the engine = used to watch Nick racing minicross. My late Uncle Rob used to have battles. Had one of the Swift tunes heads and wow did it go.
Quanti cavalli ha questa mini Cooper ? Che cilindrata ha ? E inoltre desideravo sapere che tipo di alimentazione ha ? 2 Webber da 40/45 o carburatori SU ? Grazie
@@rogbrown1965 The only way I could go fast was with an Austin America engine and trans. (3.65?) Then I had a 998 with 3.44 but 1380'd another A America engine. couldnt afford a 5 speed
@@rogbrown1965 My Mini days started in '73. 850 I drove from San Fransisco to Reno 200 miles each way to Mini Convention. 850 no brakes, wham! Fiberglass front end, Cooper S wheels, Austin Americas were around. 1275.
@@hofthem hi Bill asi remember 850 s weren't fast enough to need brakes. Lol. Yeah 1275 cc was classed as a 1300. Likewise 970 s were classed as 1000 cc and 1071s were 1100cc to allow for being bored out to the limit for racing.1973 what a year. Got married still married! Spent a few days in San Francisco and lived between Los Angeles and England between the 90s and 2012.hence the info I have on UK mini coopers but have to confess I'd not heard really much about the Austin America for many years.once a mini fan you're hooked for life and why not. Good motoring. Rog.
Driver of the Blue '59; Mini is an awsomely talentless prick, did you have words with him/her after the race a la James Hunt, would have been justified IMHO.

Sure shows what the little girl can do with an ace pilot.

Awesome battle. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! Plenty more where this came from.
Never underestimate a Mini 😉
Specially one fine-tunned for racing.
Why do you cross your right hand over the top of the wheel on most left-handers, but keep them at 9-3ish on straights and most right handers?
that's what i call close racing, great vid..
Years back I remember calculating what a Swiftune engine and box cost in Australian dollars - about $40,000!!!!

Alec is saying "should only have an 850 cc engine, but it does have the ashtray".
1:15 wtf they take all with
Awesome boy o boy nick has balls of steel 👌
awesome setup+driver = thumbs up
Bet that’s awesome to throw around Brands. Especially through Paddock Hill, down pilgrims drop and through dingle dell.
1st at druids and on to the bottom straight ?

MrSwift. Need a copilot or a map reader?
Sorry, weight saving is a priority.
impressionnant à quelle vitesse tourne le moteur et la voiture et le pilote sont au TOP 👍

Anybody know what final drive ratio they use in these Minis?
Possibly 3.9/ 4.1 or 4.4.dont know for sure as it was the mid 60s when I had my mini cooper with a 3.7 and 3.44 in my cooper s . Rog.

lap 1 had me STRESSED
They very agressive to him
you had them at the end. If you had moved up faster or the race was longer would have been podium! Awesome stuff.
Wonderfull engine, great car , great driver , Swiftune n. 1.
Well done 👍
It stopped just as he was neck and neck with that Galaxy into paddock hill bend . . . .
10 + + + grande pilota e bel video !!!
Hey Nick, you still driving, or teaching? A driver like you cannot sit in a passenger seat....right?
on ne lache rien !
Bloody amazing!! What a drive. Damn those Fords for clogging up his air filter.
On a clear track there is no one faster in a Mini.

I could drive a 208 faster than that
Challenge accepted.
