For us it's about the driving experience and both cars are a blast in their own right. Most "car people" understand having both.

I know what your saying.....I love all performance cars no matter the make. I have a buddy with a Z06 who bought an MCS first and got me to the delaer for a test drive...the rest is history.

Yes I k now...can't find the perfect ones. The Vette Wheels have Carbon Fiber over the centers...done by me..took 2 months to make those. I am going to paint the JCW ones black for now.

Nice... Im a Lamborghini (Diablo) person myself but the ZR1 is hella rad.

Lets see some pics of that Vette!!

Btw, your MINI (and the C6) looks really nice Red Bull. When are you painting the rims?

I'd be alittle wary of buying a GM product with their finanicial problem right now. A zr1 is an awesome car though Good luck with your choice!

I hate Corvettes. I see them all the damn time, every damn day. Hate 'em. But I do love your JCW. Pretty car. And I like the paint over the rubber trim. I might copy that.

WOW...you hate Corvettes...I love cars in general most car guys do. I find it funny how people go out of their way to say they hate a car...usually there is more to it..to each his own.

FYI they make about the same amount of Mini's as they do Corvettes a year.

Thanks....much appreciated. I did all the work on the Mini myself and take great prinde in it. I also did all the work on my Vette as well, 3 long years and over $60K later she is almost done. My passion,I have a great wife. I almost hate to be done with it. Guess I will throw my energy towards the Mini now

Where in Florida are you located? I plan on replacing my 05' MCS with an 09' and will be installing the JCW Aero Kit from bumper on a PW MINI. I'll probably need a good body shop to have it painted.

Your car looks great BTW!

Usually when someone throws the word "hate" around so easily when talking about an inantimate object its likely envy rearing its head. As a Corvette owner I dont mind it, its comical.

My neighbour has a C6 Vette and a 2006 GP. Both sweet rides...

It would be hard to find replacement wheels for the JCW... the stock wheels are just so damn gorgeous!
