        Hi 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 ?

          Thanks 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 tomorrow

          I will put some pics up as soon as I can ??

            Hey 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?

              It’s ethermatic black, looks like a lovely blue in certain lights.

              The beltline tape and stubby arial were from smp. About £20 I think.

                Looks 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

                  Love 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.

                    Hey guys I got it.
                    good job I can type this because I’m speechless.

                    I love it. The quality is outstanding. The ride is so smooth and the power is breathtaking.

                    im going to spend tomorrow setting it all up and putting some miles on the clock. So far so very good ??

                                Love the colour ?

                                Dark colours really do suit them.

                                Great times ??????

                                            I’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!

                                              The Clubman and Countryman JCW both have over 300 bhp.
