When I bought this car from Mini of Escondido - who also sold it new - the ad said "own a piece of Mini History." I thought that was pretty typical dealerspeak at the time, but have since come to realize it was probably pretty accurate. So this last of the supercharged Minis simply appears to have every possible JCW option. Perhaps some Mini expert will see this and point out something it's lacking; I don't know. What I do know is it's really an incredible little car that is fun every single time you drive it and I'm going to be truly sorry to see it go. Honestly, when was the last time you've seen one like this? Totally stock with all JCW engine upgrades, JCW suspension, JCW exhaust, JCW 18" wheels, JCW carbon fiber interior, JCW floor mats, full aero package, English trim leather heated seats, Harman Kardon Stereo with dealer installed ipod connector, xenon headlights and auxiliary driving lights. All the stuff you want and none of the stuff you don't. I am the second owner and bought it in the spring of 2012 with just over 12,000 miles. I learned a few things about the original owner at that time and can safely say that the car has been adult driven only, by nonsmokers who consider it an obligation to take the best possible care of their vehicles. This has not been a primary car for either of us and was obviously not any kind of daily driver. I have receipts from Mini of Murray for a couple routine things including a fresh AC recharge a couple of weeks ago, but basically there aren't a lot of records because it hasn't needed anything. Here are the car's issues: It is missing the cover for the 12V outlet in the cargo area. The lid on the center console does not stay shut the way it's supposed to. I talked to the dealer and was told it was a weak design link that has since been resolved, but I wasn't annoyed enough by it to pay whatever they wanted for a new one. There is a slight ding / blemish on the top of the driver's side front fender. I tried to photograph it but wasn't too successful because it's not easy to notice. This didn't come out well in the photo either, but there is some fairly substantial paint chipping on the nose of the car. It would seem that I got behind a leaky gravel truck at some point. I'm fairly anal but was not bothered enough by it to have it redone. It had the original P-Zero run flats when I took over and I replaced them with a set of wider, lower profile BFG G-force tires, which are much stickier and have about 6000 miles on them. I still have the Pirellis and they are included, as are the manuals in the leather cover and two remote keys. I haven't been able to find the valet key, but if I do it's all yours. If you haven't driven one of these, it's probably quicker than you'd imagine and the handling is very precise. I believe it was supposed to have 214HP when new and it doesn't feel like it's lost much. It commands respect and attention from the driver; the rewards definitely being worth it. You can absolutely improve your skills with this car and have a great time along the way. Personally, it's made me develop such a taste for go-kart like characteristics that I'm moving into a Lotus. So there you have it - If you've been waiting for a hot JCW that hasn't been trashed it would seem like you'd want to consider this one pretty carefully. From what I've seen, you could wait a very long time for another one like this to come along, so happy bidding. I want to be involved as little as possible in shipping, but will try to assist and be helpful as necessary. It's location is 84103. I'm open to various payment options, but please let's have it ready and keep it simple. The title is clear and in hand. Thanks for your time and good luck.

Mini pokes fun at Anthony Weiner using fake Twitter account
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mini, never one to pass on a marketing opportunity, has pounced on the plight of embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who seems to have an issue with sending pictures of his genitals to young women. Observers will notice that this is the second time the unfortunately named Mr. Weiner has been in the spotlight for his picture messages.
Capitalizing on Weiner's alias, Carlos Danger, Mini has created an account on Twitter - @CarlosDMotor. With a note on the profile page listing "Danger" as the account's middle name, it's sent out just one tweet, containing the message, "Wanna get your hands on my stick?" Attached to the Tweet is a scantily clad Mini Cooper S, with a towel around its "waist" snapping a picture. Too soon? To borrow the brilliant pun from AdWeek, the "auto erotica" was the idea of Mini's marketing agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners. Click below for the full tweet.
Mini shows how to camp in style
Sun, 21 Jul 2013If you're the type of person who loves spontaneous road trips and camping, and Volkswagen's Camper Vans aren't your style (or you can't find one for sale in the US), then Mini has what you're looking for: the Clubvan Camper, Cowley caravan or Countryman ALL4 Camp. Unfortunately, Mini says there are no plans to offer any of them for sale. And no, this doesn't seem to be a recycled April fools joke, in which Mini touted the Swindon Roof Top Tent and Cowley.
Let's start with the Clubvan camper, a curious prototype that has a sleeping area for one and an extendable kitchenette featuring a stove and chest fridge. And we say curious because, in addition to not being offered for sale anywhere at this point, the Camper is based on the Clubvan, which was just pulled from US dealerships due to low sales volume. This thing definitely isn't coming to the US.
The Cowley caravan, named after Mini's historic factory in England (known today as Plant Oxford), can be towed behind a Mini vehicle and features a sleeping area for two, a twin-burner gas stove and a water tank complete with pump and sink facility. It looks quite comfortable in there. The Cowley uses a solar panel to charge its onboard battery, and it has a 230-volt connection to power the fridge and entertainment equipment.
Mini Cooper Hardtop 4-Door configurator is open for all
Thu, 11 Sep 2014The Mini Cooper five-door hatchback, which the company insists on calling the Mini Hardtop 4 Door, doesn't start arriving at US dealers until January 2015. However, if you dig the latest model's styling but can't live without the two extra doors, you can start speccing one right now in the recently launched configurator.
The new five-door hatch isn't just the standard model with extra doors squished in. It rides on a 2.8-inch longer wheelbase and is 6.3-inches longer overall. That means more room for rear passengers and extra space to haul stuff in the boot. The engine options are shared though with a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque for the Cooper or a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 189 hp and 207 lb-ft in the Cooper S. Both are available with a six-speed manual or automatic.
Prices (including destination) for that extra space starts at $21,450 for the Cooper or $25,100 for the Cooper S, which is $1,000 more than the three-door in both cases. However, like any modern Mini, these guys are extremely customizable from the factory. There are an array of colors, 10 option packages and a ton of other add-ons to choose from.
