FootlooseHi Mick,
You have kept the ST in mint condition by the looks of things and I’m sure you’ll be sad to see it go but I wish you all the very best for tomorrow and if possible a few pics would be appreciated.Have a great collection day ?
May 23, 2023 at 7:14 am #222094
Mick NThanks FL
yeah it’s in mint condition, no kids or pets anymore, the back seat is unused. It’s barely been in Sport mode. Whoever buys it is getting a gem. Not one problem with it. I would’ve bought it but the price is still astronomical.
onwards and upwards. Roll on tomorrowI will put some pics up as soon as I can ??

Mick NHey Dan it’s looking amazing. Loving the colour. Is it midnight blue? I think I’m getting colour envy. I love the 17”alloys the murdered out look really suits the jcw.
I need to get my black line sorted at some point. Did you get a special kit to do it?
May 23, 2023 at 2:40 pm #222225It’s ethermatic black, looks like a lovely blue in certain lights.
The beltline tape and stubby arial were from smp. About £20 I think.
May 23, 2023 at 3:48 pm #222230Looks magic mate, still loving it?
gonna pick your brains now about your driving position
I’m about 5’10 and generally sit higher in cars so I can see over the bonnet
so that’s the way I’ve set my seat in the mini , but when I was driver earlier I was looking down at my steering wheel and was thinking am I too high? My steering wheel looks lower down than I remember
Or maybe my brain is just having one of those days lol

Make melonade!May 23, 2023 at 3:54 pm #222231Love it every day.
Im 5’5 so not sure if I’ll be much help but my seat is I think just off the bottom with my steering wheel adjusted so I can just see the JCW logo on the top of the instrument cluster below the top of the steering wheel.
In the back of my chair I can just see the right headlight bump and if I lean forward I can just see the washer fluid jets.

PhilI’ve loved my Cooper S for the last 3 yr, and the last service it went in for I was lucky enough to be given the new JCW for the day, which was an absolute hoon to fly about in, but the niggles of it being so small (even tho it’s rather big) have taken their toll over the years.
I’ll certainly miss the little beast when it goes back as theres nothing that comes remotely close to the handling and feel you get from it. If only Mini had put the clubman JCW on for its swansong….now that I could have lived with!
May 24, 2023 at 7:46 pm #222362The Clubman and Countryman JCW both have over 300 bhp.
