Jcw gp2

[MCSL]

I really fancy one of these... faster than an R26r (evo) and look cool as f***. Wish i could get the missus to have one :)

Anyone driven the 2013 GP?

Have you been CSLRaped? :whistle:

[MCSL]

Lol. My mate ribbed me too - reckoned it's a poofs car! I just think it could be a bit of a dark horse.. heard stories of nearly 250hp!!

I love them, tried to get the misses into a GP1 ages ago but the no rear seats killed the idea.

I do keep trying to find a valid reason for why we 'must' have one though.....

I have the GP Mk I (2006) as a run around. Went for a quick blast in the Mk II but not long enough to judge properly for differences. Two things I do not like - it seems to be a Mini thing, is the ridiculous 'car jack' self locking doors and the high beam control. You pull the stalk for on and you pull it for off :banghead: .

Aside from that it is a bit of a baiter.

The MKI GP can easily have rear seats installed.
Just remove the strut bar and fit normal seats.

Looks good and I bet it's loads of fun......

Didn't realise you could fit rear seats in the Mark 1......Makes it a better purchase then when you have kids...

brakes and performance :smt023

Men in a mini....... I always think one thing.. no matter how fast it is :-D

A friend of mine did have one (albeit,not that one) and yes, he is.

That's what my wife says every time she sees a dude driving one, lol! :-D

:hahaha:

so long as you aint wearing jeans with turn-ups, and as tight it looks like you're smuggling a budgie, i don't think the GP applies to the 'ghey's in Mini's' category.

btw. had more fun driving the GP in the italian mountains vs CSL. Some sections CSL couldn't even follow.

This is up to the driver Roland :blalalala:

My missus has one but I do admit to enjoying driving it. It is a real little hooligan - about as far removed from a girls car (driving experience) as you could ever imagine.

Proper hardcore, noisy, stiff, and very fast at less than 3 figure speeds. Not taken it on the track yet, but that will be rectified this year :)

Wonder what the jcw gp3 will be like to drive as there is already pictures of it. Shame the new mini will be even bigger

Cheers Terry. Like the sound of it! Is it the GP2 (2013 model) you have?

Yes mate, 2013 model. It is a riot. Think of in as a Mini CSL and I genuinely mean that - only 200 in UK , very hardcore, etc... It doesn't look like a woman's car, at all.... :)

It even has adjustable (ride height) coilover suspension as standard :notworthy:

And it feels considerably lighter and more responsive than the regular JCW. However I have fitted a set of Continental road tyres and removed the standard fit Kumho's from a safety perspective. It's used as a daily and the Kumho's are like Cups :)

[MCSL]

It's deffo on the radar when i get bored of the 1M terry, especially now you say it's like a Mini CSL :supz:

[terryb]

We were disappointed when we realised that there were no options to spec... And considered a fully loaded JCW, but the drive, desirability and future resale value made the GP2 a no brainer :)

Sorry to hear. They do tablets and pumps for that :whistle:
