Mini JCW GP2 (daily)

[DSharp]

Well.... I fancied a new daily driver - but it had to meet certain requirements and this is what I ended up with

I wanted something fairly new, not too bad on fuel, comfortable, reasonable running costs, fun and that felt a bit special on the commute. And I'm pleased with the outcome

2013, GP2 approved used from Mini dealer, remainder of TLC pack, running road tyres (Conti-sports) and in absolutely immaculate condition throughout. 27k miles - looks, drives and feels superb.

Looks good, what's the unit below your window controls?

These came out whilst I was working at a MINI dealer and I was lucky enough to use one for a few days, it was an absolute hoot, great fun. I'm sure you'll really enjoy it.

Thanks! It's just a ScanGauge so that I have an idea of engine temp (and also intake temp, voltage, Manifold Pressure and loads of other stuff) and does fault code scanning etc too.

As I've said in previous reader cars, this is the only Mini i would want, that looks great OP!

Epic! Would love a hoon in one of these.

Many thanks - it was the only one which really interested me too.

Would certainly recommend it. It certainly is one of those cars which is far more pleasing that the 0-60 would suggest. The sound and handling make it very appealing to hoon.

Awesome car with great POWER to WEIGHT although it hard to be a NATURALly aspirated engine.

Have you COMPETED in the car yet and set any PB's?

[Pistom]

That looks fantastic - what a great choice.

Love the subtle colour.

It hides its enhanced aspiration well. It's currently running a cycle of 97 RON which helps. It had a a nice TUEsday.

Car looks very nice indeed, really like the GPs.
I *think* I saw you near Leeds Uni the other day, heading out of town.
Either yours or an identical one!

Thanks!! Yes it was most likely me, I drive past it most days on my commute into Leeds

I was admiring the car in traffic funnily enough.
You got cut up by a taxi outside the Library pub just as I turned off!

[Leins]

Very nice OP, enjoy

[Martin_Hx]

Get PH sticker on it! I've never been spotted in the Civic though

I'm probably the only other guy on this forum who knows what you are talking about ... lol

Ah yes - I remember it. I really wanted to savage that prick, but restrained myself.
