Wow I like the changes...hmmm I like it so much I just called the MINI dealer and asked about canceling my 2010 Clubman S that's at the VDC to order a 2011 Clubman S.

 

You know as soon as I saw you had posted here, I knew that might happen:lol:.

Haha now decisions, decisions. If I hold off on the Clubman S, I'll have more time to sell my MINI, lol. Hmmm. I'll have to wait until probably November and won't have the new MINI for MTTS or MITM this year....hmmm..might have to get new rotors and pads since I'm back on stock brakes, lol.

Dang. The programming for stop and go traffic sounds nice on the auto, as well as the interior color changes on the center stack which I've always hated..I love the JCW interior..gauge faces are hawt...actually the interior shots remind me of my own R53, lol.

 

Richard do you have any concerns at all about going with version 1.0 of a new engine? After all the Cold-start problems maybe you'd be better off waiting a whole year or sticking with your original plans

 

Haha, I know!!! I've considered that too. I haven't decided which way to go yet. Thanks for pointing that out though. I'm not sure I really want to be MINIless for the next 4 months, lol.

 

What new engine?

Far as I can tell, it's a tweaking of an existing power plant...

But I gotta say I laughed when I read the part about cold start issue being a problem with a supplier... And now, the fix is really a fix. We've heard that before....

Matt

 

The 'fix' that wasn't the fix, is now fixed, until the next fix :crazy:

 

Funny, but it is always about the "S". Just the "S" and nothing but the "S". ut:

Jim

 

Yeah, that's why we call them "Justa S"

Mark

 

Hey Mark,

Is your Clubbie an auto?? I'm wondering about the new programming that says the auto can sense if you're in stop and go traffic and will stay in second gear..can't you just shift it into second and leave it there?

Richard

 

Our clubbie is a stick Justa S.

Mark

 

Aww ok...anyone else with an Auto R55/R56??

 

You are such a funny man, Mark. rrr:

Jim

 

I got an 03 Justa, I can make fun of the other Justa's

Mark

 

Can anyone clarify as to the "inverse" option on the JCW and how that'll work?

 

Just a guess, but most likely opposite to the other one. :cornut:

Jim

 

Lol, Jim, you got me. I asked for that one. I guess I'm just trying to see if it's something worth entertaining in the future. The body color becomes the roof color and the roof color becomes the body, which would be red b/c it's a JCW. Interesting...:idea:
