Calling all MINI JCW owners

[BenLowden]

We’re working on an exciting project with MINI but we need your help. If you own a MINI John Cooper Works of any generation and love an epic road trip, then read on.

The project is a four-day film shoot in the UK and we’re looking for a number of (fairly) standard MINI JCWs from all generations. You’ll need to be free 26-30th August and comfortable to be in front of a camera.

Fuel, accommodation, food and drink will all be covered. We’ll throw in some other PH goodies to round off what’s promising to be one hell of a road trip.

So whether you own an early R53 JCW or a newer Countryman JCW, if you’re free on the dates above then we want to hear from you.

Email [e-mail] with subject line ‘MINI Project’ along with your name, username on PH, location in the UK and a photograph of your car. Applications close on the 7th July.

We don't mind a few tweaks but need to avoid cars that have been mapped for more power. All will become clear in due course...

[rigga]

Ah, power wise I'm good ..... rest I'm not.

Such a shame I run a uk r53 jcw owners club on face book and I have over 1000 owners on there and I do believe we also have the gentleman that owns one of the first ones aswell if you do this again give me a shout I can ask on my page if anyone would like to do it

Be good to get some visibility on process, replies/acknowledgements to emails, for those who wished to make plans for a bank holiday weekend

Thanks to everyone for applying. We're reviewing the applications at the moment and will get in touch with the successful applicants over the next couple of days

[undred orse]

Thanks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Garb]

Anyone heard anything yet?

[Spingo]

Nothing heard at my end...

[undred orse]

Anyone heard anything?

[BenLowden]

We're currently talking to a few members and finalising availability so I'm afraid if you haven't heard from us then you haven't been successful this time. But thank you to everyone that applied, very much appreciated!
