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.

Remember that world-record jump crash? Here's every angle, including the human one
Sun, 22 Jun 2014While there are those who watch automotive exploits hoping (secretly or otherwise) for a spectacular crash, most of us are happy when everything goes smoothly. But at the end of the day, a daring stunt wouldn't be a daring stunt if there weren't some element of danger. And make no mistake about it, Guerlain Chicherit's recent long-jump record attempt was a daring stunt if ever there was one.
Chicherit, for those unfamiliar, is a French athlete who made the rare transition from "conventional" sports to motor sports. An accomplished professional skier, these days Guerlain drives a specially-prepared Mini Countryman in off-road events like the Dakar Rally and in death-defying stunts. Last year he managed to backflip his Mini and land in the record books, and this past winter he went after Tanner Foust's record by attempting a 360-foot jump at a ski resort in the French Alps. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.
Despite several practice jumps at closer distances, the final attempt ended in a massive cartwheel crash in front of the gathered crowds. Several spectators published footage of the crash soon after it happened, but now GoPro has released a more comprehensive compilation showing the lead-up to the event and the jump itself from every angle - inside, outside and away from the vehicle. It's guaranteed to make you cringe, but remember that Guerlain miraculously escaped with minimal injury and will live not only to tell the tale, but likely to take another crack at it. Whether you're the kind to gawk at such a crash or not, the video below is worth watching.
BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt
Wed, Aug 30 2017A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.

Mini headed to North Pole to meet Santa Claus
Wed, 07 Nov 2012It seems that retailers are bringing out the Christmas decorations earlier each year, but Mini's premature holiday spirit could be one for the record books. The day after Black Friday, the "Mini Goes to Santa Claus" adventure will depart from BMW headquarters in Munich, Germany and head up Rovaniemi, Finland (just outside the Arctic Circle) to deliver Christmas letters to Santa Claus -he must have an mail outpost here for his North Pole workshop. Guinness World Records is also getting involved with this trek, by competing for a for the longest-ever wish list to Santa.
Mini has assembled teams of vehicles from 16 countries consisting of all of its current models to drive the almost 1,900 miles. Although it won't be a part of the convoy, the Mini Paceman will be in Rovaniemi to welcome the groups along with former rally driver Rauno Aaltonen who will "demonstrate his unequalled talent" while driving the Paceman. We're not exactly sure what this means, but snowy climates and rally drivers always seem to be a recipe for great entertainment to us.
Scroll down for Mini's press release, but we'll have to wait until later in the month to see what should be some pretty cool pictures of the trip.
