kgdblu Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Looks like a great car for a reasonable price. My only concern is no Cold Weather Package....I love my heated seats! Hope you decide to get it, so you can join the cult...er...I mean club.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 You can tow up to 1000lbs with a tongue weight of up to 100lbs with a MINI. You are correct about no 2007 JCW. MINI did not release a 2nd gen factory JCW until mid-2008. So is this an After market JCW? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
ORazor Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Posted January 13, 2012 So is this an After market JCW? It's a package designed, manufactured, and installed by Mini. If you have a standard Mini Cooper S from pre 2008, you can bring it to the dealer and have them add the JCW package. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cooper_Works#Cooper_S_R56 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Stella" 2007 MCS, SS/B, Red Lounge Leather, WMW DV, NM Engineering TA, KIWI WIFI + Rev + KUDA

ORazor Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Posted January 14, 2012 I'm headed off to test drive 2 minis - both 2007 MCS, but only one is the JCW.

ORazor Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I passed on the JCW. While I love me some extra power, someone had put in an aftermarket suspension, which was pretty absurd. I had flashes of driving on the beltway to work and breaking my spine the car was wound so tight. Instead, I got a 2007 MCS, Sparkling Silver Metallic (or, Oatmeal, as my wife claims), with 33k miles on it for the same price. Pictures to follow on Monday! Time to officially join the club!

ORazor Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 I just don't know! My wife thinks that it should be called Otis, short for Oatmeal, what she calls the color.

MiniMe Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Hi.. good luck. Yeah it does seem like there are so many Mini's around. I just moved here from Colorado and traded my Hummer for a Mini convertible, Yellow with the black stripe. Mr Buzzy. So, it's great this club is here too. Looking forward to some events. Good luck with your car

astarte Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Legend of Isis is a stick and she is female, because stickshifts and women are more precise.
Edge Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 women are more preciseI respect your opinion but I take exception to it.

Good luck with your car I can't imagine going from a Hummer to a MINI! That's like a serious philosophy change there... Like tomorrow I know that I can de-ice the 4Runner but wow, I'm impressed...
ORazor Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Posted January 23, 2012 Having both would have been cool. I suspect you could probably just pop the Mini in the back seat... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Stella" 2007 MCS, SS/B, Red Lounge Leather, WMW DV, NM Engineering TA, KIWI WIFI + Rev + KUDA
