Do you think Jennifer Garner is sick of being asked if that’s really her name? (…just like Michael Bolton from Office Space)

My wife and I were going to buy a MCS Stage 1 JCW off the lot back in April (the good old days when Mini actually HAD unsold cars on the lots) and just decided to take the leap without really being able to justify it. You could spend almost as much on Nav, lounge leather seats and upgraded wheels and how do you really justify those things other than just wanting them? So we're nav-less and have plastic seats, but the car is simply a blast to drive. Sure, the torque makes the car a handful in some lower speed situations but the power under most conditions is right there when you want it. My wife loves it as her daily driver, we're getting over 30 MPG and it's our fun car for weekends. A great value? probably not. Can I justify it over a MCS? not really; but I love the performance bits, the resale will be good, things will get fixed if they break for several years and if nothing else, it just sounds sooo good.</p> Why spend all that money on the factory JCW you ask?
