MINI Clubman JCW 306hp - Three Peaks | Promoted

What makes a great road trip? The car? The route? The company? We've ticked off all three...

We've been busy. You don't get between the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales without some serious legwork. Not that we were walking, of course. No, we were mostly driving the very recently launched MINI Clubman John Cooper Works 306hp - as it stands, the most powerful production car MINI has yet produced.

With more than 300hp from its turbocharged four-pot, and MINI's All4 all-wheel drive system to deploy it, the Clubman JCW provided PH with the perfect way of getting between the United Kingdom's most famous peaks. Better still, thanks to three willing PHers - IAN_C_UK, MIKESWAGON & CHRIS.AIR - we had a selection of previous MINI JCW cars along for the ride.

No introductions needed for the man in the driving seat - PH veteran Dan T - and in a short while he'll follow up the video with a written account of one of our most ambitious ever dream drives. But reading is for later; for now, dunk a digestive and sit back to enjoy the best Britain - and MINI - has to offer.
