Thank you for being such a good-looking, thoughtful and astute observer. I'm thinking CR and I should take this act on the road - maybe "Mick and Mack, the JCW Brothers."

OK, maybe not ...

BTW, I like the rubber mats (the ones with the dot pattern) too, because they catch all the stuff that falls off my feet, rather than letting it build up around the edges like happens with the carpet mats. I have the complete set, including the mat for the boot, which is ridiculously heavy.

 

Thanks, haha I'll be your promoter

 

Owners lounge finally confirms my car is at the VDC. Now I think I'll watch the 1969 version of Italian Job via Amazon Prime.

 

CR's new JCW spotted!!!
I knew it was his as soon as I saw the Chili Red roof!! Looks like he got the wheels painted red after all too

 

And as you can see, it's in my driveway. I mean... it's in my yard.

MA said I could take it home today and bring it back in a couple days for the stripes and clearbra.

So... what do you think ? Sharp, huh ?

 

Doesn't look the same without the cinder blocks.

 

What... no comments about my spray paint mods ?!

 

Those chili red wheels came out looking good. I don't think they look very orange. Were you happy with how they turned out?

 

Ecstatic ! Perfect match for the spray paint mods and the roof. Stunning, wouldn't you say ?

 

Looks like she's already "broken-in" too

 

Don't think that version of the JCW can even hit 4k

 

Ummmm... pardon ME ?? That car only has 35 miles on it and that's only because I had a hard time getting it to that spot in the yard. The rest was all muddy. Damn hogs and their mud slop.

I'll take your apology any time now for dissing my new not-so-MINI.

 

Just meant that it probably skips 4k and jumps to 5k

 

Oh, missed your insult, Mr. Can It Even Hit 4K.



Nice cover up though.

 

Hey random question for you JCW guys. I finally got to take the car out for some back road fun today and noticed that the clutch is pretty loud on engagement after shifts. Kind of makes a CLAK sound. Im sure its nothing and I'm just being paranoid. But has anyone else noticed this.

 

Never, no clue.

 

CR, she's waiting for you...

Are you just scared to "drive" her without her bra on? :P Afraid she might draw too much attention?

 

Yep... and waiting them to put on the correct wheels I ordered. And why is the showroom floor ???

 

Play this while you're thinking about her:

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Yeah this is tripping me out. It only happens when the car is warm and its from 1st -3rd gear. I'll stop by the dealer on the way home tmrw to see if it's anything serious. Plus i have to use the gift cards they gave me the day I took delivery . I just hope it's just me over reacting.

 

Well, the clutch should not be making any sounds, so a dealer visit does sound in order. Good luck!

 

My dog stopped everything that she was doing - i.e. chewing on her favorite bone - when she heard that sound!!!

Quite impressive!

 

Especially at the 44 second mark in the video when the RPMs are crankin' higher and then the rapid decel. Sounds like a 2 ton bowl of Rice Krispies suddenly meeting 2 billion gallons of milk.

 

ha ha that would make a good demo car!!! I want it!!
