Mini 2019 John Cooper Works

[ColinG]

I still prefer the very first shape of "new" mini. It's not that it's a bad looking car it's just they are so big now. I would love a good go in one though, they sound great!

And whoever designed that front bumper wants shot IMO.. It's like it's got a huge sticky out square chin...?!

I like the side profile. TBH it doesn't matter what I looks like. I bet it's awesome to drive.

It is brilliant. I love it. Just making excuses to drive it. Ha

 

[Sam]

whats the go pro feature???

You can control the go pro through the in car media centre.

My Go Pro wasnt fully charged so could play with it a lot unfortunately.

Don't they map to something silly when you'reach bored too?

 

[Sam]

Yeh. A bloke on a mini forum mapped his to 280bhp.

The same lad added an upgraded intercooler and reached 301bhp.

I think it will take a while before I'm bored. [emoji12]

 

[Feirny]

Hey.

Yeh the seats are amazing!! I love it.

Yeh I'll run into you sooner or later. Will there be a Malton run soon??

11th October! You need to see the Elise before it goes too!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

[Ashh]

Glad you're happy with it! I've had my 182 since June and I still smile every time I sit in it

I want a charged cooper s, like one of the older ones. I just can't get over the whine :hearteyes:

Yeh. My missus uncle had an older one and it was a nice drive, it just lacked features and comforts and thats the bits I like!

 

[Feirny]

You going to be there ? Day after my birthday! :tongueout:

Yeah I'll be there!

 

[Sam]

Yeah I'll be there!

See you there

 

[Waitey]

That front bumper. Jesus.

I thought my GP was daft looking.

 

[Sir_Dave]

That front bumper. Jesus.

I thought my GP was daft looking.

Agree, its awful lol,along with the wheels that look like GP1 Replicas!!
Thy can be made to look a little better however ...

OP's:

Chap on MT, lowered approx 3 feet, plus lots of colour coding:

 

[Waitey]

The bottom one is at a good angle too. In real life it'd still look awful!

Nah, looks "good" from most angles:

Still huuuuge though.

 

[jesus]

No love for the front bumper eh. [emoji53]

How you enjoying yours @Waitey ?? You test drove one of the new ones?

 

[Sir_Dave]

No love for the front bumper eh. [emoji53]

As standard, no, it looks like a Jimmy Hill chin lol.
With some lowering/colour coding, they can look very nice!!

 

[_Tom]

Thing is that one looks great but it's so low it must be unusable and to get it to look good that chin needs to be 5mm off the ground.

 

[Sam]

That's the thing.

These things are pretty rapid and been the low I think it would cause problems.

I'm not one for lowering cars, rather just keep it standard and enjoy it. [emoji13]

 

[Knuckles]

You'll have to stay down here one weekend and I'll get a bunch of us to go around Wales.

If not we can man date one evening lol.

 

[ForceIndia]

They really botched the looks. Seats look superb.

 

[Sam]

I was over in Wales at the weekend and decided to try the slow mo out on my new iPhone.


I love driving this car!

Weirdly looking at a Cooper SD tomorrow. One without the JCW kit on it haha.

Spec is pretty impressive now. Need something to replace the F-type for mortgage based reasons lol

The cooper SD is a great car.

You can get 12k worth of extras now on the minis it's ridiculous.

The Harmon Kardon and a media packs are a must like mate. Love it in mine.

Not tempted by a late r56? N18 motor is superb, and good mpg.

I should really be using my fuel card which is diesel only. As I'd only be paying 82p a litre at the moment hence the diesel want.

I need media, HK, chilli, HUD, heated seats etc etc.

All great options bar the HUD? You drove one with it yet?? I found it obstructed the view to much that's why I opted against it.

HUD is the main reason. Loved it in my 335d. When your car acts as an office sometimes it's a god send.

True. The last thing I want to do in a car though is work.

Ha I'll trade then. Issue with working abroad is you get called round the clock.

 

[M.C..]

Nice car, I went and looked at these a couple of months ago the seats are great, but with options I would want it was over £30k and I could not pay that for a Mini so ordered a Focus RS.
7 weeks is easy to wait I have got to wait until March/April

7 weeks was a killer. I feel for you!!

Aye, mine was around that but you only live once and if it's the car you like it's worth it I guess.

Still love it every time I turn it on and hear the burble.

 

[M.C..]

That's what I thought with the FRS, the Mini was a bit too small in reality for me as I go fishing to France every year and I would not have got everything in.
They do sound nice, I see a black one on my way home from work most days and it pops and bangs.

The pops and bangs make it. I've got a video I should upload.

The boot is a whopping 60 litres bigger on this version. [emoji6]
