Indi Blue MCS with Union Jack roof
Poor GBMINI#2 … six months and still waiting for a new owner … All shined up, with re-painted exterior trim; still a super MINI with JCW 210hp performance and a “kick ass” stereo system (as described by the MINI Peabody sales people) …
Many readers will know about 42, the ultimate answer – some may even know how thrilled I was when we bought our first (and so far only) home in USA and it was number 42!
So when MickyD on MINI2 sent me a link to this site, after being surprised by the content I was doubly entertained by the product name, “42 below”.
Before you click on the link, be warned that “those of a sensitive disposition (and those that don’t like “toilet humour”) will probably think it’s all in rather poor taste!
If you totally fail to figure why MickyD sent the link to me, then here are some clues:
Thanks to MickyD!
I have deliberately avoided mentioning GBMINI#2, since this post when I first saw it for sale at MINI Peabody; but I was recently told that GBMINI#2 has had a “freshening” and now the exterior wheel arches and other trim are re-painted (eliminating two years of stone chips), as well as getting a full detailing; GBMINI#2 hangs out with two other JCW equipped MINIs, waiting patiently for his new owner …
And no, I don’t know the price. Email John at MINI Peabody and ask, if you are interested!
It looks like the 2005 model year, offering the new gear ratios and LSD as well as nice “tweaks” like the new headlights, is making life hard for older MINIs now. Particularly so perhaps for upgraded MINIs like these three JCWs – a pre-owned loaded MINI can be more expensive than a brand new one, and can’t offer the “performance essentials” like an LSD.
