Blow the Cash on a JCW or Other Goodies?

[AidenL]

Ok, lets just say you have £3,500.00 sitting around somewhere, you are a MINI fan – (imagine that ) and you’d like to upgrade your Cooper S.

Do you go with a JCW Kit, now, or when the upgrade comes, or think of spending the money on something like things for your home, a couple of flat screen TVs, a nice holiday, treats for wifey or such like.

Or maybe a Hartge / BBR / GGR conversion, and some of the above?

Help, I need to decide soon !

I’m torn between tuning the MINI, and the subsequent pleasure I get from driving it, and spending some of my hard-earned cash on treating my wife, and getting something which we would both derive equal amounts of enjoyment from?

She doesn’t mind if I do it, and she gets to drive the MINI all week, but shes not into the benefits of 200bhp if you know what I mean?

Thoughts everyone?

I voted JCW, but we all know I'm elitist and have more money than sense

[AidenL]

I could be guilty of that too..........

Remember the TVR slaying potential of the JCW

Thats worth half the price alone !

wait for the upgrade mate... or atleast news on what they are planning for the conversion towards the end of the year (like me )

[AidenL]

It seems its only £125.00 to upgrade though to 210bhp..............

Its a tough one Aiden, but if i went for goodies for my home and on a holiday i would still want the Works package.

[URU]

is that officially confirmed or just the usual banter that flys around?

the option of a nice holiday for the ball 'n' chain now and a upgrade in a few months once youve topped up the JCW money again is exactly my plan

[Smurfn]

Spend it on your wife. You will get more enjoyment then

It would be great to have them all.

i'm a car nut and would chose car mods above any of the other options ;p JCW, but wait till we jknow whats happening for definate

[Leccy_Blue]

I'd personally go for a cheaper conversion like the 217bhp West Tuning conversion then with the money left over you can treat the missus

LB.

hmm, tricky decision - first thoughts are :-

treat the wife - always a good idea to keep her sweet
few toys for the house - incase the weathers too grim to risk the mini
save up cash again & get the new JCW kit when it comes out.

Everyones happy & you don't get any of the 'you love the mini more than me' comments for a bit

Aiden -- From someone who doesn't know you at all

GO FOR THE JCW You'll love it -- Its a blast and of course its the real deal, not just a modified Mini (sits waiting for the flaming to begin)
