oops been a bit out of it lately...guess I'll have to give them a call then.

Bobbycrook · Dec 13th, 2002, 06:24 AM

I down there the other day as i only live in Crawley and I saw the Cooper Works you are on about but didn't know it was available for test drive!! I am going to wait until next week and see if I can get booked in! as I am off for a few days!

Bobbycrook · Dec 13th, 2002, 06:43 AM

Mini_me · Dec 13th, 2002, 08:04 AM

that's not fair! I am living in Germany now, but it would have been sufficienrly close 2 years ago.

There only one way we can deal with this fairly - anyone who gets to test drive it has to post a full report here .......PLEASE!

MichaelK · Dec 13th, 2002, 08:22 AM

I took it out for a drive, its awesome, completely different league to the S. I would deffienetly recomend a visit

Only 3 and a bit weeks till mine turns up

Cheers

Mini_me · Dec 13th, 2002, 08:26 AM

I know I'm being a bit cheeky here, but is there any chance you could expand on "awesome"

MichaelK · Dec 13th, 2002, 08:39 AM

Mini-Me:

I can expand a bit for you

There were three of us in the car, all about my size (6ft 3 and 14 stone) and it was still absolutley flew.

The best way to describe it in performance terms would be, imagine the difference between the cooper and the cooper S, now IMHO its that sort of jump up in magnitude between the Cooper S and the works S

After 18 months of waiting I certainly was not disappointed

Cheers

monsta · Dec 13th, 2002, 11:57 AM

There will be a MINI2 trip to JCW's at some point early in the new year

Similar to the one I organised before....

Mini_me · Dec 13th, 2002, 12:10 PM

Monsta, does that mean a full MINI2 report (like that great article Paul wrote on the S)?? would be greatly appreciated. Suppose I should just wait and see.

uae mini · Dec 13th, 2002, 12:16 PM

going off-topic here but will there be by any chance and i mean chance a way by which the conversion, being ordered by a BMW dealer in some of the many countries that wont get them and fitted by them?

Haven't spoken about this with Paul yet and nothing is set in stone, but when we visited before Mike Cooper invited us back for a test drive of the S works

Many thanks for the info Michael

The mission for you boys in the UK if you wish to accept it is
PHOTOS PLEASE

Mini_me · Dec 14th, 2002, 05:17 AM

Micheal, thanks. Greatly appreciated, gives me more of an insight as to what to expect.

Monsta, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Anyone here know details of endurance testing by either JCW or Hartge conversion? I plan on keeping to S a long time and don't what to run into problems.

MichaelK · Dec 16th, 2002, 09:14 AM

Mini_me: On the endurance side of things the Works version will be the the winner. The Works conversion is more of a mechanical upgrade as opposed to chip uprade.

Boo: There are photos on MINI2 already

These have been on here a while. I will post some pics when I pick mine up

Cheers
