CooperWorld Magazine

CooperWorld is the monthly magazine of the Mini Cooper Register

Produced in full colour and packed with Mini Cooper information, this is essential reading for Mini enthusiasts.

Editorial Welcome to the February issue of CooperWorld and, as I type these words in the warmth of my home, the outside temperature is about one degree above freezing! So, venturing out in a car in such weather conditions can be somewhat dangerous to say the least however, sometimes needs must. I had to go out one early dark and very frosty morning a day or so previously, and I was going to use my wife’s 2019 MINI Cooper. When I popped out to it, parked outside our house, I was greeted by the sight of a car almost entirely covered in hard frost! It was a bit daunting contemplating de-frosting it, but I set about it after getting the car started, and with the windscreen blower set on full speed. To my pleasant surprise the hard frost on the windows melted away very quickly, something I have not experienced in the past with older cars. It just made me think how efficient and sophisticated cars are built these days. Let’s see what we have in store for you to read by your open fire if you have one. I am always pleased to receive contributions from members as everyone has an interesting story to tell about their cars and this month I have had three contributions. The first being from our regular contributor, Richard Pengelly, and it is a follow up article we ran in the December issue about his 36 year long ownership of his Mk 2 Cooper S. In this second part of his article, he covers some more of the ups and downs he has experienced with his car over the years and which you might find helpful to know for future reference should you experience similar issues with your car. Then, our next regular contributor is Peter Barratt, who has been covering the restoration of his Mk 1 Cooper over the last couple of years or so, but, as you will find out if you read his article, is now nearing the end of his long restoration. And, finally, member Sam Ibbotson has written an article on a road trip which he, his father and a friend decided to go on as a small group, purely to get out and about and actually drive their Minis in the summer of last year. Reading Sam’s account of their trip made me hanker after doing something similar this year which hopefully I will do in amongst everything else Paul Paul Sulma  - Editor CooperWorld
