MINI Hardcore: MINI John Cooper Works GP

We have been contemplating for a few days already whether or not we show you this MINI JCW GP, because once again it is not confirmed for the Canadian market. Sold as a limited production run of 2000 units worldwide (Which could include Canada if it passes all the safety regulations) the GP does 8:23 around the Nürburgring-Nordschleife through a twin scroll turbo'ed 1.6 Liter 4 Cylinder with around 220 to 230 Horsepower. The Chassis? Yes it has been lightened the brakes are race spec and the wheels are 4 spoke light weight alloys, there are many light weight race specific parts on the MINI JCW GP. Expected official unveiling around early 2013. UPDATED: Price range will be around the range of $45,000 - $48,000 CAD and at this time will be slated for November 2012 Production for a January 2013 Delivery. (Click read more for full gallery)

Goodwood is located in West Sussex in England the birthplace of renowned modern British luxury motorcars such as the Rolls Royce Phantom and the Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe.

2012 MINI Roadster has Arrived at MINI Markham!

Most great things are delivered by transport trucks, and some excitement for our MINI Fans we have just received our first MINI Roadster in the flesh. The white plastic bits on the hood still needs to be removed, and the suspension is still in shipping blocks and in dire need of a bath. 

Reasons why you might want a MINI Roadster:

1. No one ever rides in the backseat

2. I enjoy a million miles (Um, I mean kilometers) of headroom

3. The popup spoiler, oh and did I mention you can make it go up our down with the flick of a switch?

4. Very fun to drive, due to fantastic handling. Feel free to add if I missed any.

The area has attractive streets and garden squares lined with Victorian stucco terraces, mostly now subdivided into flats and boarding houses.
