Talking my new toy, Jcw mini cooper s

Like many going through a mid life crisis I bought a toy to go along with all my fords, was at a pals garage the other day and he knew I liked these so he dangled the carrot and I bit

dyno'd at 202hp and had a few upgrades on engine and is highest spec out there, when weather improoves I will no doubt be having a play and the odd track day

If it hasn't been done already upgrade the brakes before you take it on track. Standard R53 brake set up is not that great at normal road speeds let alone track work.

unless it already has upgraded brakes if it's an official JCW version..

mainly for the kids J as my daughter is into fast cars, so thought best way was to get her onto a track rather than the a41
