Well I received my GP 0364 yesterday from PA..... All I can say is WOW
What a beautiful, refined ride.....
My other car is a 2004 heavily modified S and the GP is oh so much better.... Better ride, no rattles, smoother shifting and acceleration - feels GREAT!
In reading the posts I was expecting a much louder car with a horrible sound system but I must say it is not that...
I like it, I like it allot....

Congrats on the GP, make sure you update ownership info on GPMINI.COM. The only items I would take out from your older modded MCS is the rear sway bar and camber plates and put them on the GP. Where in PA did you score GP?

cool beans, we were considering #0364 but were skeptical about the lack of GP wheels...
congrats!
Was it the one outside of Philadelphia from Skippy or something like that. If so I have seen that one and in good shape, and did have GP wheels and the extra set of auto-x wheels.

no...it was from a dealer, but I think a set of replicas were supposed to have been included in the sale.
The GP was from a private Porsche dealer in Quarryville PA, it was a trade in for a VW R32. Someone on NAM,who knew the original owner, contacted me last week about how great a car it was and kept garaged....
It did not have the original wheels and we agreed upon a price to allow me to get the wheels I want. The 15" it has will be great autocross wheels when I need them.
I have some 17" wheels I will move over until I source the originals.
Nice shape, some front rock chips I could of done without but only at 10k mi. and drives like a dream......

I just bought GP 1652 a few hours ago... california car, 5600 miles, all original one owner... virtually perfect GP.
I have a full factory 2006 JCW MCS Cabrio and a 2009 Clubman S and the GP just feels crisper, lighter, more responsive.. although the power seems exactly the same as my JCW cabrio.
I'm looking forward to becoming a member of the GP fraternity and enjoying many miles to come in 1652.

I found this link in the NAM Market Place that will hopefully help you get a few of the OEM GP rims.
I picked mine up, GP0360 about a month ago. I have never owned a Mini before so I had nothing to compare the ride to but to be honest, it rides better and is a lot more fun than the wife’s 02 WS6 Trans Am.

When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.
