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.

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

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

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

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
