I just received my Cooper S with the John Cooper Works package... I must say that I am extremely disapointed. For the price of the car I could have gotten the new STi or the new Evo. Six thousand dolllars in upgrades and the supercharger isn't really any louder!

Why don't you sell your MCS and get the car you want? Did you shop around before you bought your MCS?

Didn't really do your research did you? You could have had the 200hp for around $2000 instead of the $6000.

well... one good thing is that if you really don't like your JCW Mini then you could always sell it and get almost what you paid for it.

Can anyone say "Troll"?

Happy Friday afternoon!

jsun: I already had my own suspicions, did a search, and an IP check (very interesting result btw) and PM'd the original poster (see above).

For now I'm going to lock this thread because the validity of the post and the identity of the original poster are in doubt. If he replies to my PM or e-mails me ( dave@northamericanmotoring.com ) in a satisfactory way I'll unlock it.

Dave
