We used too have a Cooper S JCW until a year ago, the car had 211 BHP. It was just two days ago as I told my wife that I miss that Mini. It was a casual fun drive. The best car in cities anyway, always a parking spot, lots of occasions to accelerate (due to red lights) - so much fun. We even thought about buying one again, but we already have to many cars - anyway, I highly can recommend this fun toy!

Thanks for the write up - like always its joy to read!
