I used to be Hot Chocolate, but I'm ALL(4, Silver) White now...

So it's been an interesting week or so, I said a sad farewell to the most brilliant of MINIs, simply couldn't justify spending the continual repair costs, give his age and ever creeping mileage I took the difficult decision to swap out to a new set of wheels...

Adios Wicker'd Wonder, Hola JCW ALL4 Paceman...

JCW ALL4 R61 by Lee, on Flickr

MINI on rock

Nice one Lee, shocked to see WW go, but what a cool (and rare) beast to replace him with. Cool

I love the shape of the Paceman......

If there was an F series that's what I would have gone for. Looks cool dude...

Not as shocked as me Laughing

Glad to still be in a MINI, and I've liked the R61 since it was released so let's see Very Happy

Me too Steve, it's been a fun few days of ALL4 JCW motoring so far Very Happy

Looks great Lee.

Love the colour combo, look forward to seeing it and welcome back. wave

Have you got a name for him/her yet

Nice.

Welcome back Lee, love the car too. I’m sure we will still be spotting the “inform-as” Wicker’ed Wonder somerwhere. But High

for choice thumbs up

Thanks! Reminds me of the ghosts from Mario - so it's 'BOO' Very Happy

Great name, and love the new sig. High

Looks stunning Lee, I've always been a fan of the Paceman, much prefer the rear of it over the Countryman. Look forward to seeing it Big Grin

Cheers, need to beg the moderator(s) for a name edit, maybe something less car specific Laughing

I hadn't appreciated fully how different the back end really is, does look like a very different car indeed from the booty Very Happy

Having spent yesterday looking at it it does look great from behind, but it’s the way the body flares over the rear wheel arches!

I'm sure that can be arranged Big Grin

Looks good. I do like

That would be triumphant - maybe use the plate L333 CLC? not going to be losing that Very Happy

Looks great Lee, they are like a hatch on steroids

Thanks DB, I'm slowly getting used to it (or should that be quickly getting used to it!) so much more oomph than the Clubbie and that seemed quick Laughing

As if by magic.... Big Grin

Berry Heathrow gave me JCW Countryman to try, 3 weeks (yes 3 weeks) later they came to collect it! It was fun after I got used to it having got the JCW Clubman at the time. I was tempted if they could get the sum right but they didn’t!
