That's going to look really good! Ugh the wait must be so tough...

 

I think so too! Look at my signature, think I have a thing about Red/Black/White ? LOL

The wait is going to be easier for me than most. I have to make sure I get my son trained to drive a stick and make sure he passes the driving test in the SUV before I sell it. tick, tock... tick, tock... A lot to do in about six weeks.

 

That is going to be one awesome MINI.. Let the fun begin

 

Thanks !! Yep, big fun !! Only thing I'm worried about... gettng back in one of our R50s after driving this beautiful beast and forgetting I only have 120 hp to work with.

 

ha ha true true... I like your color combo...well done... Is this the first MINI that you went with cloth interior?

 

Thanks, I think it will look very sharp, especially if my custom accessories I have in mind all work out.

Yep... I haven't owned a vehicle with cloth seats in decades. But I did see a set at the dealership, they look pretty nice... and I got good reviews here on the board about them. Loved the look of the Championship Red leather seats cut I don't think they were worth $2000 more than the JCW checkered cloth seats.

 

My mind is full of what I want to do to my MINI when it arrives.. But I also went with the cloth this time.. I think it should be really nice... I seen the jcw cloth interior and liked it better..plus ive heard a lot of good things on here as well.. So im guessing you have a production number now?

 

The cloth seats are very comfy, especially in hot climates.

 

Yeah... mine too !

I liked the look of the Championship Red leather a little better because the red piping stood out more than the red thread in cloth seats but certainly not $2000 worth better!

Good... I hear that from lots of posters. Probably not as cold in winter either and I left off the cold weather package. Don't plan to drive the JCW when it's nasty outside anyway.

 

Awesome..thats good to hear.. that was another reason as well why I went this route ..plus im sure there better in the colder weather as well..but mine wont see much of that cold snowy weather at all

 

SuperGreg Nice ride btw

 

Thank you! I would order it exactly the same all over again, no regrets. I really like the drilled and slotted front rotors, and the CR mirrors and roof to accent the red rotors. Yes, the cloth seats are better in cold too!

 

Congrats

 

Thanks, Way!

 

Sorry, Zippy... forgot to respond to your question.

No... no production number yet. My MA said he will have it for me by tomorrow. I told him to delay all he wants because my teenager needs until early August to take his driver's test in my SUV that has automatic transmission. Will keep it after I get my JCW if I have to but prefer to sell the SUV before the new MINI arrives.

 

Your welcome SuperGreg Im glad you are loving your ride.. One thing in general I like about the MINI is you can build it anyway you want.. I don't know if there is another car company out there that gives you the freedom of a build as a MINI.. Very cool

 

I could not agree with you more!

 

Welcome to the club, I have yet to see another JCW on the road in 1.5 years of owning mine. You'll love it

looking at your signature, you need an intervention

 

Thanks ! And cool... I love driving a car you don't see all over the place.

And Ha... you think ? Although I do feel comfortable with this addiction. There are many worse ways one could spend one's money.

 

I have yet to see another as well.

 

What options are you getting on your JCW? I'll bet white silver with CR will look amazing! You should put a pic in your sig

 

Look at the first post, SuperGreg.

You mean the image off the configurator ? I figure I'll wait and use a real pic in 6-8 weeks.

 

Duh lol
