Driving Fast in a Slow Car (POV)

Welcome to the fast-paced world of driving where horsepower takes a back seat to sheer excitement! In this thrilling point-of-view video, I take the wheel of a Mini 1.6, proving that you don't need a high-performance machine to experience the thrill of the open road. Strap in as I navigate the twists and turns, pushing the limits of this modest powerhouse. Despite its lack of brute force, the Mini 1.6 proves that driving is about more than just speed – it's about the pure joy and connection between driver and machine. Explore the unexpected benefits of a 'slow' car, as we weave through traffic, conquer tight corners, and revel in the sheer joy of the driving experience. Discover why driving fast in a slow car might just be the ultimate prescription for a good time on the road!

🔧 Car Specs:
🚗 Model: Mini 1.6
🔍 Engine: Not a powerhouse, but the smiles-per-gallon ratio is off the charts!
⚙️ Modifications: Minimal, because sometimes, the stock setup is all you need for a great driving experience.

About a year ago i bought a 1.1 na petrol 3cyl 75 bhp @Ford Fiesta, and i absolutely adore it !

[Tibialstone]

I adore your videos man. You just have this infectious passion for all types of cars and driving, and it just really rubs off on me. It makes me want to get in my car and just go! Keep it up my friend

Liking these “driving fast in a slow car” makes me happy

I found the 1.33L 99BHP Toyota Yaris SR to have a similar effect on me. It's true, you really can have an awful lot of fun in a slow car, sometimes more so than in a fast one - especially in the UK.

I said about my Citroen c1 on another one of your videos and you’re correct it is the driver, since then I’ve been practicing and have been getting much more confident. Love the video keep it up! ❤

Well I drive a Classic Mini Cooper Sport mpi & I adore it, it makes you smile every time you drive it 🇬🇧.

The biggest W is the fact it's a manual. Imagine having one of those in auto, yuck.

I just learned mini cooper has only 79 horse power. Thought it is more powerful.

[smortg]

I've been looking at a Mini for a second car for fun and long runs - videos like this are bad for the wallet lol

[babascustomlegocreations]

That’s my exact car haha, just got a misfire trying to go up a hill 😂

I can barely drive my partner's 2002 1.0 Yaris on a twisty B-Road, I just end up laughing uncontrollably. The 155/80/13 tyres, body roll, extreme understeer and brakes that fade after about 4 corners are just too much 😂😂😂

[remotecontrolaholic]

next do a 107/C1/Aygo
1 litre, 3 cyclinder, you know the one

[MiMicheIIe]

Gosh, I'm spoiled, aren't I? My R56 is on a stage I tune, pushing 210 horsepower, and I'm ALREADY like "god this is slow I need so much more grunt"

[KrisLorraines]

Your videos are amazing to watch Mick!

[BJPAutomotive]

Before my ST I had an 93bhp Fiesta MK8 and it was gutless 😅😂. However, I really feel like it can be just as fun if not more fun than my ST purely due to being able to use ALL IT OFFERS at all times 😂

my mums got a Mini Cooper 1.6L 2011 model which is the car I'm driving currently whilst I get ready for my driving test... and its fair to say its a decent car!!

[suby]

I wish you were in Canada so you could drive my cooper S paceman stage 2. My favourite car to drive!

There is no replacement for a true drivers car.
