I recently sold my lotus exige, which have to say was an awesome car, however within a couple of weeks i got seriously bored of my everyday driver, so went and test drove the JCW GP, fell for it straight away, i'd never driven a new mini before, the handling and performance of the car are definately on par with the lotus's i've owned in the past, i was totally amazed with it, as its such a useable car too, and IMHO brilliant value for money...

A great factory car but i was so disappointed with the GP when i drove it first time probably dosent help that my JCW 210 S has been tweeked to around 240bhp an has brembos an coilovers but as a factory build car the GP is pretty special

It is a great car, just need carbon fibre mirror caps (red ones make it look odd)

Loui didnt realise you were running 240....turbo next?

No more lairy head work, cam, bigger anti roll bars an adjustable rear tie bars to dial out some negative camber.

First of all though it maintinance work, like new discs an pads all round, put new spring adjusters on my coilovers, an possibly new tyres
