Mini Cooper S JCW
« on: December 27, 2012, 09:33:30 pm »
Hi, seeing as the MKV is now sold, new owner picking up Sunday. I was thinking of getting something 4wd, but I saw an r56 jcw the other day and it looked and sounded fantastic! But I hear they have a few problems!? Anyone had one or experienced any them selves?

The other option I have is my brothers R53 mini, running a nice 260bhp and is highly tuned but to a reliable level. I looked at buying that and possibly twin screwing it?

Has anyone had one of these? Good cars? Reliable?


Cheers, Joe

They are decent cars though i was disappointed when mine turned up.
I ordered a Mini Cooper in black with a red roof and ended up with this.

The moral of the story!. Make sure the car you buy is as described.  :innocent: :pomppomp:

Out of interest, did you ever find out how you came to own half an Edition 30 Golf?

Not me, just sceptic cat. I'd go and ask on a Mini forum. :)

Yeah I did, but the minis seem to put it down very well according to all the reviews!

Think I'm going for the R53 :D

Rich the r35 has a GP Motorsport top mount ic.

Surely if you want advise on buying a mini you'd go to a Mini forum. What is the point of asking on a Golf forum?
While I'm here i'm looking at a F40 and wondered what i should be looking out for on a second hand one?
