    Wow, Maxine is really impressed and I am impressed by Maxine's impressions. But, please, all MINIs put fun back into motoring.

    Jalopnik's cynical about everything, which is not the same as being appropriately critical or cleverly humorous. Sometimes they're ridiculously uninformed, and sometimes they're exactly right - but they're always having to operate in an unfortunate environment where they face the onerous duty of filling a large number of electronic pages every day. Most of us would turn to dust under the same circumstances.

    (Please don't ask me what inspired this philosophical drivel. I need a nap.) :eek:

    Wow, I can only imagine the intense emotional experience she'd have driving a JCW Hardtop! :drool

    coming from a hardtop i can say the JCW Paceman handles just like the hardtop and its probably due to the fact its the same configuration as the hardtop plus with the AWD it gets the car a whole new dimension in handling

    Very different than the Jalopnik review, good to hear.
