Just curious

I had my MCSC for a week and really enjoy it more than I expected. I would not mind having another. Who wouldn't. I'm giving thought to selling my rare SSR and replacing it with a JCWC with an HK and LSD. Would you part with a once in a lifetime kind of Ride if you already have a Mini you enjoy?

I wouldn't see the point in owning two of the same generation MINI in the same body style... Though I am already thinking that I'd like to pick up an R53 for autox to supplement my R56 daily driver.

Based on your list we have very different taste in automobiles for the most part... Personally I'd ditch the SSR in a heartbeat for something more fun.

SSR is a lot of fun. Corvette powered 6 speed convert. Plus there is always an event. I did the Dragon with it. Think I'd rather drive the Mini on it.
I have a house in Florida. I'd leave the JCW there and the Laurel here. I'd never be Mini-less.

You can't get a factory LSD in any MINI anymore.

No, the SSR could be a collectors car later on, plus the concept was good, just marketed wrong and at the wrong time. You have one MINI, and although there's nothing wrong with having more than one MINI, I wouldn't get rid of a vehicle like an SSR for another MINI. Now if said vehicle was a Camry........................

I'd have to keep the SSR.

Wait and get either the Countryman or get the Roadster or Coupster when they come out.
