Am I right in thinking that mini engines 'break' often? owners seem to be changing them a lot??
No - I've got double the bhp of a std Cooper S, rev the engine to 7.5k almost every gear change and haven't rebuilt the engine in ten years. Anyone who says the A-series is unreliable doesn't own one, it's the fueling and ignition that let it down, not breakages (apart from gearboxes, but they're not engines lol).

PS - 998's are cool man, get an auto, they're even cooler (chicks dig em!)
