      You just have to accept the fact that you'll never be able to replace it if it gets damaged. I'm sure you can order the part, but it won't be numbered and you'll likely pay out the ass for it. I assume at some point or another an aftermarket company will pick up the slack and make custom decals or panels, but you'll never get a factory replacement. Behold, the woes of the upper class.

    • @peaceup5519
      @peaceup5519 3 роки тому +9

      Imagine being the guy doing the gapping... That would be me! I have an '10 MINI Cooper S Clubman that I have been building for the past year and a half. If you do it smart you can turn a MINI into an unbelievable sleeper. My slightly weight reduced MINI is FBO with a bigger upgraded BorgWarner AirWerks SX K03 turbo. I obliterate most cars in my class, but the real fun is getting a win against the bigger V8s! I do not gap them but I do usually win by a car or a half a car. It's crazy because I did not build my car for straight lines. It's built "for the curves" and it was really surprising when I learned that my car was actually capable of taking down $80,000 BMWs. The insane 60-120mph pick up was not expected. The guys at GermanTech Motorsports (the shop who helped me with my build) were also surprised. It has not been easy though and building the car has been a complete pain in the butt overcoming all of the "set backs" that come with building a MINI. There are sensors for sensors and some of the engineering is completely sideways. It is the most fun car that I have ever built. What's insane is that I haven't even touched the internals yet. Thats where the real fun is going to start!

      @@peaceup5519 I feel that MINI lies about the specs of their cars, specially the John Cooper Works models. I own a 2019 JCW 3 door hatch and it actually feels faster than MINI says. A friend of mine (he owns a Lamborghini Huracan actually and a Mazda 3 btw) drove it before I started to modify it. His reactions were like: WTH is this?! It’s amazing to drive! I know why you actually love your car and it feels faster than MINI says about its specs. It doesn’t have a lot of mods (only APR Repro Stage 1 and the JCW Pro Exhaust) but it feels pretty good.

      I’m really not a fan of anything fwd unless it’s just a gas saver car. Even then my corvette gets 32 or so freeway and my accord only got like 28. Kind of silly cars since they don’t do anything well. The civics get like 35, I had one hybrid that got 60 though. That’s the only one I miss

This is the kind of Mini for a person who has another one already for daily driving and this is the weekend track star.

    Whatever your thoughts on the GP, I will always appreciate Mini's desire to keep driving fun!

I drive an F56 and for better or worse, a smile always come across my face when I sit in her, see the pulsing START button, and the winking Mini logo on the speedometer screen. Mini is happy to have me and I'm happy to have her ;)

    They did the aerofoils over the wheels, rather than widen the body, because everything JCW does is "bolt on." This means JCW designs all the changes, catalogs all the parts, and sends them to their plant for installation. BMW/Mini doesn't make any changes to the vehicle, prior to the JCW modifications.

    Cool review. I had a 2005 Mini Cooper S. It was a harsh ride but so much fun. The backseats were useless because the car is so small so I spent most of the time with them down anyway. The cargo room was surprisingly large with the seats down. Enough for a large flat screen tv.
    I used to track my Cooper S. It was a bit underpowered on the straights but so amazingly fast on the twisty bits. Many more powerful cars couldn't keep up when the track got twisty. I am sure this car would step it up a notch on those track days. My Mini had a great manual transmission. It is a shame that this is not an option on this version.
    Great review Doug. Thanks.
