| Salesman from Chandlers Hailsham tried to flog me one of these today; I explained that I had purchased a WC50 in the past and once bitten twice shy http://www.thedailytoggle.com/the-mini-challenge-210-special-edition/

| Literally no point buying one when the full fat JCW will cost the same in lesser trim I would take power over a fully loaded car any day |

| I'm kind of surprised that they've produced a special edition already, given that the F56 has only been out a year, and the proper JCW is imminent. Would still like to sample that exhaust, though I'll be sticking to my original JCW 210  |

| Having done the Silverstone day with mini this weekend they had a 210 there, it sounds like a rabid beast but I'd still buy the jcw over it anyday, the 210 is just a specced up S, in my opinion the jcw outshines it in every respect.. |

| Sorry I missed the fun at the weekend but - noting Garry's humble pie comment - given that I was out test driving one of these on Saturday I can but agree - nice car! |

Agreed Steve, it is a specced up Cooper S, one with the JCW 210 tuning kit which gives it plenty of grunt so hardly 'just' a specced up 'S''. Given I already own what I consider to be one of the best JCW models money can buy I didn't want an F56 JCW (yet). I'll enjoy the 210 for what it is (a rarity compared to a JCW) and look at a full on JCW in the years to come. For now I'm enjoying driving something that you don't see very often that has an awesome soundtrack! |

totally agree with you bud, its alot rarer than the F56 JCW and a good step up from the standard S, love the little design extras it has as well exclusive of course to the 210...dont get me wrong i like the car , lurve the soundtrack but for me personally id go JCW |

| Hi Garry, it appears your MINI has the new style spot lamps that no one else has that are out! Is there any chance you can take a pic of them on high beam and let me know what you think of them too? As I am thinking of getting these over the normal ones but some mini peeps have said they aren't as good as the old style ones, not as bright? Which is a bit odd as they are LEDS. |
