Domenico: "Tonight at 1213 miles I saw and heard what 6800rpm was like!!! "
Owners manual: break-in period is 1250 miles.
keep it under 4500 RPM and under 95 MPH.
OOPS! hehe

I like the fact that I can still hit 100 while remaining under the breakin limit.

It's Back
I hate the fact that I get my car back Friday after all it's repairs, and mods. I hate the fact that I have just over 1100 miles of break in left. I really hate the fact that it is going to be 85 degrees and sunny ....
I hate that fact that everyone can't have the wonderful feeling of driving a JCW car and the smile that comes with the driving pleasure!!!!

One thing that I really hate (for real) about JCW is when you get some clowns saying that JCW isn't worth it and how it's a ripoff blah blah blah (minus the guy who posted in this thread).
I'd rather have John Coopers name on my car, than some Pedro and Sons Garages, or something like that.
But I dont have JCW, well only the exhaust, so I can pretend I have the full kit right? Actually my car is mixed, like me. It has JCW, Alta, Webb, best of all things good. BOOOOYAH.

I hate the way people buy JCWs because they are worried about their warranty, when John Cooper was "the original" Mini tuner...he's gotta be rolling over in his grave...
(I'm not saying it's wrong of anyone to do so, I would love to have one. I am just saying it seems at odds with what John Cooper did to original Minis...he'd be bold, he'd be brash, he'd be going for 300+ hp...)

My engine runs strong and pulls hard at 49K miles. . .
(MINI recommends you take it easy and keep below 4500 rpm for 1200 miles)
