    Oh REALLY mr Craigd and what dealer exactly did you see this said car in.?????????????????????????????


    I'd like to drool or not as the case maybe over one but I wouldn't be buying one. Other than a status symbol a JCW is a complete waste of time for me as I don't drive in the manner to justify one a Dooper is just fine on my daily drive.

    Saw one in the flesh today, wheels are loverly!! it was black, would like to see a Chilli Red one.
    Jason.

    Didn't get much of a chance to put it through its paces properly as it had only done 6 miles and I have respect for what will eventually be somebody else's property. We were the first to drive it on the roads, and had the salesman with us.

    All I can say at the moment is I liked the drive.
    The exhaust note was superb, the new JCW brakes just look amazing.
    The gear box taken from the Mini Challenge car was smooth and precise with a far less throw on the stick from our R53.

    PV in Edinburgh have a Chilli red/black one.

    yeah, but there was nobody in the showroom, so we sneeked in and had a quick look and back out before anyone noticed.

    Big respect to you for that Neil.

    I hate it when people brag about ragging demo cars and even rental cars

    Might have a wee snoop round PV in the next few days

    I haven't had a drive yet but would totally agree with your commenets Neil that the exhaust sound is magic and the brakes look the business. Overall I think it has a subtle look, hopefully a "wolf in sheeps clothing"
    Have you put your order in?

    I had a peer through the window at PV at the works car after closing time yesterday.

    Liked the wheels but prefer some other offerings like the pace wheels and the other optional JCW wheels.

    Not keen on the body kit. Can you order it without the kit, maybe just with the skirts which I like?

    Also surprised it did not come with the carbon fibre spoiler, that would look good.
