Jase 320d · 11-24-2015, 02:36 PM

I understand it is a cooper s but as you have never held back in regards to my choices i must say it is rather ghay though isn't it

Sparky68 · 11-24-2015, 02:59 PM

Well to be pedantic its a JCW

Sparky68 · 11-24-2015, 03:18 PM

and as for the ghay comment, says more about you than me I think.

mob17 · 11-24-2015, 04:20 PM

Ghay??

Whats the spec on these sparky? Quite nippy? Must feel so nimble compared to your 335?

Hey Mo , it weighs 1215KG so quite nimble I guess, can certainly throw it about around corners/bends at a fair rate.

Engine wise they are 211bhp [ although most dyno above this number]
192 ft.-lb. of torque available from 1850 to 5600 rpm not too bad from a 1.6 and it stops pretty well having Brembo brakes, overall I like it.

Best bit is seeing a tank of fuel at £54 say 528 miles to empty

But the game is to see how little mileage you can get out of a tank LOL

You know me mate, be lucky to see half of that

Mark e90 · 11-25-2015, 05:16 AM

Nice little car mate, i toyed with the idea of a clubman s but decided just to stick to what i know and got another e90 but i still do really like the clubman ( not the new one though ). I have never actually drove one but heard they are great fun.

Certainly good fun around Milton Keynes with all the roundabouts.
At first I was driving like I did in the BMW , brake into roundabout and power out, now just get on the power as quick as you can.

That is surprising power for a 1.6. More than a 320d and lighter, must be fun to drive that. At least you didn't get a boring car.

I can see you modding this too. Would be interesting to see the results!

Already looking at options, catless dp , air intake , obd mapping device etc etc
So much cheaper than modding the 335!

Would love to have a JCW, fantastic cars. You'll have a lot of fun with it that is for sure.

You obviously haven't seen my 335i replacement

I've had it now for coming up to 9 months, has cost me £60 in electricity to cover 4700 miles, absolutely NO modding prospects what so ever (expect for the aerial). Does the job of getting from A to B just as well as anything I've owned/driven, will be ordering it's replacement next year this time...Cannot wait

borinous · 11-26-2015, 08:36 AM

We have a Mini Cooper and its great fun to drive. It was the missus choice and i think the JCW is definitely the "Man's" version ;-)

The0pportunist · 11-26-2015, 10:47 AM

I do love how the windows seamlessly curve round to the back like the roof is floating.

Having driven one i can confirm these cars are not JUST for the blonde/bald/ghay market.

Couple of bits on order even though I was not going to mod this, oh well got to spend it on something.

Sparky68 · 11-28-2015, 03:00 PM

Bloody hell Mini forums are quiet, you guys dont know how lucky you are!

Sparky68 · 12-08-2015, 02:27 PM

Well it's started, the car I wasn't going to mod, that idea lasted 2 weeks

Miltek Race DP

Should be fitted Saturday , Oh well you cant take it with you.
