The Opel and the MINIs
Beastmaster and Peanut Adventures
Welcome to Beastmaster.co.uk and our world of MINI and Opel GT adventures.
| New Midlands Photography Club - Take a Look  Beastmaster and Peanut are our on line names and a big passion for us is our cars. Our original line up when we started this site was CooperBeast (BP500-2) and CheckBeast (BP500-3) which are BMW minis and PugBeast (BP500-1) which is a Peugeot 206cc. CooperBeast is an October 2002 build Mini Cooper in Chili red with a white roof, which we got from new at the start of November 2002. CheckBeast is an October 2005 build Mini Cooper S special edition called Checkmate, which we got from new at the start of November 2005. It is metallic space blue with a silver roof and bonnet stripes and chequered graphics on each front side panel. CheckBeast is also a fully fledged Works edition complete with the full engine upgrade, Works brakes and Works strutbrace. For good measure it also comes with silver sideskirts to match the roof! PugBeast is an October 2001 Peugeot 206cc se 2.0 litre in cayman green with matching green and black cloth interior. With time a few changes have been made to the original line up. PugBeast left the fold in the summer of 2007 after 5 years of sterling service, fun and adventure. His life with us has been captured for posterity on the pages of this website. His departure (sad though it was) was to make way for his replacement the Opel GT which after a long delay finally arrived at the end of June 2008. The Phantom is his name, so called as having to wait so long for him to arrive often he never seemed quite real - but he is real now! He will be honoured to wear the original number of PugBeast (BP500-1). The Phantom has his own page full of details about him but briefly all the information needed is 0-62mph in 5.7 seconds! The next change came in August 2008 when we saw the sad departure of CheckBeast our much loved Works Cooper S. This was to make way for ClubBeast (also affectionately known as PepperBeast) our new MINI Clubman S in pepper white with a black roof. A very grown up car, which we have really taken to but which Clarkson regards as the only thing you could give as a gift that is worse than a toilet! The modding process has already begun on ClubBeast so check him out on his own page.  This is a small website designed to enable us to share some of the adventures and fun we have had with the MINIS, the Pug and now the Opel. Additionally we have a few pages dedicated to some of our other interests, namely watches and photography. The website also has plenty of photos and write ups from both MINI meets and general car meets as well as runs that we have enjoyed and we have an ever increasing selection of car videos on the Mini Movies page too. View at your peril because they will make you want a fun car! The MINI is not just a fun car but a whole social life too, thanks to the mini community, which for us is centred around MINI2.com, Total Mini.com, newminikernow.co.uk , Clubman Register and newminiseverns.com where we have met hundreds of mini enthusiasts and participated in lots of MINI days and MINI runs. For Pug enthusiasts http://www.peugeot206cc.co.uk/ has all the information you could want and for The Opel GT the best site for information is the American forum for his brother the Saturn Sky - http://www.skyroadster.com/. Anyway, have a look around our site - we hope you enjoy it.  |
