Our new toy finally arrived (sorry its not a Morgan) great fun, too much power on the front wheels if i'am honest, but if you want a visible exhaust on Mini its now only available on the JCW laugh

I haven't owned the latest model but I've had a previous JCW and it was a fun car to drive; therefore, I can understand the appeal.

Congratulations on the new purchase and wishing you many happy miles.

A lovely real fun looking car Craig with some nice detailing.
Those wheels look very complicated but striking. A MINI or a Mini always makes me smile, some more than others thumbs

Wishing you and the family lots of fun journeyings.

I really like the latest MINI range - its good that they have moved away from a pastiche of proper Mini and created designs that look good in their own right.

Enjoy.

I looked a long time at MINIs, and even short listed my options, because the detail and looks are amazing, EXCEPT, I just could not live with the front face. The gaping mouth and piggy eyes spook me too much. Otherwise a great car.

Dave, I've read Stephen King's Christine and that was scary; however, as Hollywood loves re-boot, perhaps you're onto something!

A MINI version for the Millennials grin2

@Craig, were you tempted to try the Electric JCW?

This is a Toy Simon…. Electric can’t be a toy can it ?

I wasn’t tempted but maybe one day

Craig, enjoy your new MINI, did you know you're now entitled to join the Cooper Register thumbs

If you are ever near Plant Oxford the factory tour is amazing https://www.mini.co.uk/en_GB/home/why-mini/mini-uk-production/book-a-tour.html

I tend to agree with you but having not driven the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, perhaps I am being unfair.

For me, what is missing is the noise but Hyundai seem to have, attempted, to address that. At some point, someone will get it right, if they haven't already.

Im only 20 miles from the Factory Jon, I did the factory tour on the 12th June which was our build week. However I was 2 days too early and didn’t see ours.

The tour was amazing and good value for £23
