| JCW Feb 11th! + good price? Decided to take the plunge after my insurance company kept my premium exactly the same for an MCS Works. Booked in on the 11th Feb @ John Cooper Garages. Price... £3630 fully fitted inc VAT. And half price JCW sills (£17)  Can't wait, plus get to test drive JCW brakes and suspension, see what there really like.210 BHP here I come  Andy   |

 Andy You wont regret the cost at all, takes it to a totally different level. Ask the the driver of the Evo 8 who was glued to my bumper tonight He was quick but could not get past me  And on a dual carriageway, all be it quite short! Had my 200bhp done in March last year at JCG and the extra 10 added sept/oct also at JCG. It always amazes me that JCG is located in pensioner city, not a lot to do if waiting around for work to be carried out but I'm sure you'll have a blast going home!!!!! Enjoy |

| Cant wait, i've driven with 200 Works a couple of years ago, but not the 210. From what i've read on here and in magazines is all good. My only problem is getting there for 10am friday morning from manchester I aint a morning person  |

| Take a good book, its a long wait to get your car done, and doen't matter how much you love Mini's, once you've walked around JCG 8 times it gets a bit repetative. I would say perhaps get a taxi into town and go to watch a film or two would be a good idea. If you wait around all day you might just go insane..... 210bhp Works really rocks. Take it easy on the drive home... the pull in 5th from 90-130 is phenomenal.... straight into license losing mode....  |

| Thanks for the advice Tony, gonna get a courtesy car off them for the day as I dont think my will be ready until Saturday. I'll make sure my Snooper S4 is upto date for the journey there and back. 90-130 yum, risky business my S runs out of steem at about 110-115, be nice to have the extra oomph.Andy |

 Tony I had my JCW upto over 130+ on a little motorway near Bristol a few weeks back chasing an M3 that had goaded me into a bit of a duel! I was amazed at how rock solid it felt at that speed! Not as gobsmacked as the M3 driver as I slowly closed on his rear end around a long sweeping right hander. Mine was two years old on the 25 Jan this year and it's the first car that I don't want to change after 3 years, I'm seriously thinking about putting away in the gararge and buying another car, coz with out doubt all JCW's are going to enter the cassic car sought after field in 10 years time. I think you had your 210 done just before or just after me at JCG as Chris mentioned your name? Regards |

| Now that is decent at 3k Parts alone cost £2999, my dealer wanted about £4300, now thats rip off labour Fitting time is now 9.0 hrs for works kit. So thats £144 per hour! |

| Aye... Very happy. The dealer was initially going to give me 5% off the parts but ended up giving me 10%... Their fitting is only £30 per hour + VAT... so the discount sort of paid for the fiting  |

| My dealer seems to have a MINI accessory rate for Labour which is about half the standard BMW one... not sure if this is the same elsewhere, but it's great ... labour in the dealerships over in N.I. is generally cheaper than elsewhere anyway as far as I know.... £4400 for the works is just nuts!!... If I was over there, I'd probably go to JCG to get the kit fitted anyway... just for that special touch  |

| Nice... If the cost hadn't been so different, I would have considered it myself. The drive back would be fun. My first mini came from Bristol... Drove it back to Glasgow the same day I bought it... Loved it |
