The Official MC40 Owners Club

I know there are not many of us out there in the NAM world, but that does not mean the few that are here can't represent for the other 990 or so that are not active on NAM!

Here is the Badge!!!!!!!!

I would say feel free the change the color....but why we are all the same!

What is an MC40 you ask?

The MINI Cooper S MC40 possesses all the distinctive visual characteristics that connects this limited production model to that of its historic predecessor. With only 1,000 units planned, the limited production MC40 comes with a set list of standard equipment and special features and will appear only in Chili Red with a white roof - the signature colors of the winning car. Customers are able to order the MINI Cooper S MC40 at dealers with expected delivery by April, 2004. MSRP will be about $27,000 including $550 for destination.

This is an easy cut and paste job...look at pictures in my profile to see what one looks like!

Im 16 with a size 12, and I dont plan on getting any smaller. If I had a good image editing program, id make myself a little sig thing with a cartoony picture of my Cooper, albeit I dont.

Hi i've got #94

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Hi there! I just joined NAM and have an MC-40 number 94 to be precise. As my signature also mentions I also have the JCW aero kit, tuning kit, and air intake. How do you get those little round “decals” that say JCW club and MC-40 club?[/SIZE][/FONT]

A near buy story.

I was at a LandRover dealer getting my Disco serviced, and I saw a Mint mc40 in the lot. 12k miles, and very clean. I came back to buy it with my wife the next day, it is was already sold by the time I got there. :-( Then I tried to buy one from a rhode island dealer. But the previous owner had stripped off the decals, as well as the badge with the number. When I test drove it, It had NO POWER at all. This thing was beat up bad. I ran away, and ordered a new 2007. The mc40 was still my first mini love, it just didn't work out.

I have a MC40, 474/1000. I took the stickers off except for the black license number sticker on the bonnet. I've got catless headers, exaust, sc pully reduction, and intake.

Another MC40 owner here. Don't know which number, since the previous owner must have removed the badge :(

His name is 'Flitzer2' and he got a 15% Alta pulley aoubt 4 weeks ago and an Alta CAI last week. He liked both very much (you can tell by the excited sound he now makes)

I purchased My MC40 #845 of 1000 on July 23, 2007. While at MITM '07 I added 15% reduction pully, DDM cold air intake, 22mm adjustable sway bar, auto up window controls, M7 strut plates, and clear turn signal lights.

I've been seeing something disturbing - MC40s that have had all of the decals removed. I used to see one often near where I used to work, and I saw another one this last weekend on the way home from a club run.

There was one at a local carmax near laurel. It was a pretty nice car, it even had the Carbon Dash. I'd really like to own the wheels, they would be perfect for a DS MINI.

I totally agree on the wheels. I love them. I saw them on a PW MCS and it looked really good.
