Looks ace!
Amazing how it looks so different to mine, changes the character!
Hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am, few things that took me a while to get used to were the indicators, infotainment system control knob and learning where the buttons are so I don’t have to look down, and just how quick it is off the line!
I played about with the seating position quite a bit too, high so you can easily see the bonnet is nice but then the mirror blocks a lot of your view and its tough to see traffic lights sometimes, if you can get nice and low the visibility is great.
Hi Folks ??
Thanks for the replies all I can really say is if this car is on your list as a maybe, even down towards the bottom of that list then try find a dealer who will give you a test drive for a few hours and I bet you’ll have a smile on your face within an hour ?
I spent a bit of time in earlier going through the settings and personalising it a bit including the HK stereo
I can only really compare it to the Dynaudio system that I’ve listened to for the last 4 years in my Tiguan and according to my ears this HK is the winner – it really sounds excellent – which is great for drowning the tyre noise out ?
I find the car so comfy , especially the seat ( non leather )
im going to go a further drive tonight where I’ll be able to stretch it’s legs a bit ??
im no car or driving expert, or boy racer but from the journeys I’ve had so far the car feels perfectly balanced and really hugs the road
its as comfortable and easy plodding about at 30 as it is 70 , which takes really no time at all to reach lol
it still looks weird parked outside my house cos I’ve had a much bigger car parked there for 4 years
it’ll def take me a while to get used to the window wiper controls and some others, no auto hold feature and the visibility – I’ll def put the seat a little lower tonight to try it
these aren’t complaints just need to get used it the changes – but honestly folks if you can live with car this size you def need to check it out – it’s truly awesome ??

Make melonade!Oh I meant to ask if you managed to get the belt line done yet?
When life hands you melons...,
Make melonade!???? Well done and great choice Winston.
Thanks mate , we are now patiently waiting on yours now ?
there was absolutely nothing missing from my build so that bodes well for you mate ??
you’ll love it ??
When life hands you melons...,
Make melonade!Brilliant news.
Can’t wait for mine mate.
Happy motoring.
Ps. I ordered one of those metal JCW key surrounds from amazon, £16, I won’t be able to fit it obviously but I’ll let you know what quality is like.
I fitted mines earlier today mate. Seem decent quality and adds a better look and bit of weight to the standard circle plastic Mini fob ??

Hi Winston,
your car looks stunning mate and exactly the configuration I would choose.As mentioned previously not due to select until 29th September so near end of next quarter and I just hope the JCW remains on the scheme ?enjoy ?
Ok I’ve had the call, it’s here.
just need to wait until Tuesday morning.
How is possible for a few days to feel so long.Hi Mick
forgive me if it’s already been mentioned but what colour combo did you go for and did you select 18” alloys?
Hi Mick forgive me if it’s already been mentioned but what colour combo did you go for and did you select 18” alloys?
oh fantastic mate! I wish I had a remote control that could fast forward time for you ?
When life hands you melons...,
Make melonade!hey FL I went for the rebel green all over, with the black 17” alloys. I liked the black and green combo. I thought it looked more jcw like. I saw this video and thought that’s the one. ??
Great news Mick, only few days that will pass quick, Monday night will feel like Christmas eve. When did you order, how many weeks has build actually taken?
Hey Winston, it’s always those last few days where time stands still.
how’s your going mate?Haha it sure is. It must be torture just now lol
all I can say is you’re on the final lap, the home straight almost ?
and then it’s just good times my friend , your car will look super duper in that colour combo. I really don’t think there is a bad colour choice because it’s such a cool, quirky but v premium looking little motor
not to rub it in and all that, but I’m just getting ready to head out for a little spin for a couple of hours ?
I’ll be thinking about you tho…. ?
you’ll love it mate, even just plodding around town at 20/25mph
most of my neigbhours are older and they’ve all been very complimentary with some of them having owned the original minis way back ??
ah well, better get my driving gloves out the fridge ????
When life hands you melons...,
Make melonade!Hi guys
you are both so lucky(I’m jealous ?),Mick I had seen that video of the guy collecting his JCW and it looks amazing!Enjoy mate ?
Hi Winston,
Does your JCW got the adaptive cruise control?
Hey Winston, it’s always those last few days where time stands still. how’s your going mate?
1 more sleep mate…
When life hands you melons...,
Make melonade!Ok guys, As Andrea Bocelli sang “time to say goodbye”?
ok this is all new, changing cars has alway been just a thing to do. After 6 years with the ST it’s proving a wrench to let it go.
counting the hours until I pick up the JCW so mixed emotions atm. I’m sure it’s just new car jitters.
not long before I’m in the club. ??
The excitement is growing? tick tock..,
All cleaned and waxed 🙂 still loving it every day, still haven’t done the beltline as I need to run an extension out the window for the hairdryer.
