Definitely will be getting a roadster and having some TTs,Z4s and maybe some Boxsters for breakfast!

I like the roadster better than the coupe, but I'd have to see one in person before I could decide if I'd trade my JCW in for one.

They look great and word is they'll outperform any MINI to date, but at this point I have way too much invested in mine to make the switch. Can't wait to see one in person though.

I have JCW Coupe on order. There are about 12 JCW Coupes in production or in transit over in the MINI Coupe Roll Call thread.

The Coupe absolutely NEEDS the JCW spoiler on it. Sitting next to the Coupe S it's not contest. It also has a pretty good-sized storage space. If I didn't need a back seat I'd have ordered the Coupe in a heartbeat.

I have to put my two cents worth in. The car is killer. The JCW which I drove last week is awesome.

Mine should be docked in PH Monday, Tuesday at the latest. I'm jazzed to get my hands on this little rocket ship.

I will miss my R56. It's been a solid car and runs like a champ. Pretty low mileage at 26,812 and it's parked until the deal is done. It's freshly washed and waxed and looks good. Whoever buys this car will be very happy. Bone stock except for the license plate frames, (Motor On) front license plate holder, full first quality tint all the way around, and just a few custom small graphics that add a bit of class and taste. It's a beaut of a car that I will miss.

But once I take delivery of the JCW Coupe the R56 will be but a distant memory.

Motor On.
