JCW cooper S rock, and since you have 15k spare you should make it uber awesome  http://www.morego.co.uk/bbr-gti/mini.php  but 250hp would be nice with their handling package

A Works version Mini... Probably the best. Certainly far better styling!

You don't lose money on cars... You spend money on enjoying them!

EDIT:
I mean spending whether left standard or modified. Either way, for enjoying driving and owning them.

mine went after a few weeks , for £30 k the only thing good about it is "its a porsche " happy i had it cause made me change direction with my cars cause would have never got rid of the S3 for less expensive motoring SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET MY ED30 GO !!

I swapped from a stage2+ ed30 to a cayman s almost a month ago and a bit bemused by your findgs but each to their own..

Its a very involving drive and i can see that not been to everyone's taste, but get it out on a country road, hammer round some twisities and hear that 3.4l flat six sing to you is just incredible  :happy2:
