seriously though, the Black one might do the job. Are they available from auto stores over there, if so I'll pick one up next month

the engraved one looks tempting, even more so if it had the JCW logo on it

I'm sure CravenSpeed would be interested in a custom batch order if there was enough interest; shame they're not site sponsors

I think you should contact them and see if an international group buy could be arranged

Remember, group buys have to go through site sponsors now. But it would be a good deal for Craven to sign up.

Handles really well when the roads are smooth it just encourages you to try every corner twice and test the limits. Must say that it was money well spent. Even though the dealer was useless. Was meant to go on the New Mini Scotland Oban run but didn't get round to it. Unfortunate. Maybe next time... Nurburgring here I come!



Cool Mr 128, there's a GP around Glasgow. Hope to see you around! If so, I'll be the green MCS in a field having run off the road catching a glimpse of your wonderful machine. Hope it's running exactly as you'd hoped.

Sorry guys.
Heard from CravenSpeed and they don't do the red any more - apparently it fades. I guess I'll try it and see.

I'm enjoying reading all the articles and pictures on this thread. More I read it, I just can't wait! I can't think of one question to ask, cos' all have been Questions and Answers!

Only three weeks to go!
