Do Boxter, Z4 or VXthingy drivers wave to each other? Do they have big smiles when they see other aforementioned cars? No. No they don't. S drivers do. So get one, sell your shitty mini, sorry but I have a serious dislike for the new minis & in a lot of cases those that drive them, it's nothing personal.
As for videos, there's loads. First one I saw was in F&F 1, the salt flat scene. There's also a video of mine on you tube under jockystarfish, it's nothing special but it shows the fun, enjoyment & happiness that an S can bring.

 

Yep, agreed mine doesn't drink a drop either. Honda made engine/oil distribution changes to the 04/AP2 model.

 

Mine is 05 and mid 40k & not a drop used either.

 

My "big engine" '06 has yet to consume any oil since I bought her last summer. I don't think there's any difference in the oiling systems between the two engines. At least not since 2004.

I live in East Grinstead. PM me if you want to meet up. You could even blag a passenger trip to a meet and talk to the guys from the forum to see what you're looking for.

 

2006 car and no oil used.

 

The whole oil consumption thing is a veritable minefield, my 1999 car uses 1 litre for 4k miles so hardly anything

 

Possibly related to how the engine was run in from new.

If they are similar to Honda motorcycle engines, many buyers run them in too carefully and glaze the bores without bedding the rings in properly.
When running in, the max revs should be kept down but you should still accelerate and decelerate hard to force the rings against the bores.

 

not at all, some of the earlier cars drank oil, the post facelift doesn't it was a function of the design that was put right.
