Cooper S JCW or Clubman S?

[Soup DeVille]

The hell is that thing? That wood paneling looks like it's off a crappy Geppetto boat!

Diagnosis of the extent of FAIL!

1: The omission of the word "what." It's an attempt to mimic a style that's both passe and obnoxious.

2: The question itself. It had already been clearly answered by the previous post.

3: "Gepetto": random racist slur for no apparent reason.

4: The complete inability to tell the difference between an unrestored original and "crappy."

5: The random comparison to a modern day Volvo. I really have no idea why anybody would think that's a relative question.

Geppetto was not racist. It was a reference to the wood-carver in Pinocchio. Remember?

Don't try to explain to the guy who has this badge on his monitor stand.

You have too many damn watches.

It's a common racist term used against Italians. OK, maybe that's not technically racism, maybe "nationism," but it's still offensive.

It's an Italian slur, I think - or some form of it.
Regardless, you are F41L on four other accounts.

Is it actually? Never mind then, I didn't know.

Two of them are my grandfather's.

I have a serious question. It's not a joke, so answer seriously.

Do you crave and enjoy negative attention?

What I really wanted the Modern Mini to be:

yes yes yes yes yes. V-TAK!

What I really wanted the Modern Mini to be:

I'm not fond of those wheels..

[omicron]

No more talk of this new MINI, with all those nasty capital letters all over the place.

[TheIntrepid]

Why did I have it in mind that the old Mini's hood was front-hinged?

Possibly the diagonal line where the panels join on the front fender led you astray?

What I really wanted the Modern Mini to be:

I can has Mini with 220 hp Type R VTAK motor and stretched front end?

EDIT: keep the seats and ragtop. Give me the car with stock seats and a regular roof.

wat if the ragtop is the regular roof?

But that adds complexity!

Sew does a 4-cylinder V-TAK engine. You need one with a Briggs & Stratton.

But VTAK's run forever!
And there's a lawnmower in my backyard with a Briggs & Stratton engine that doesn't run anymore so you're wrong on that account too.

B&S mower engines will run forever even if you pour water in the crankcase and whale oil in the gas tank. If you have one that doesn't run, you're just a noob. I could make it run.

Don't forget: there's no A/C in that car, ventilation may be a good friend on hot days. Besides, in the pantheon of complexity, a cloth  roof is just slightly above a stone hammer.

A hardtop, fixed roof is even less complex!
It can't leak (unless you shoot holes it), it can't rip, and the folding mechanism can't break because there is none.

And a wooden stick is less complicated than a hammer.

It's true.

how's this for complexity?

The JCW is no longer for sale.  They decided to keep it.  -shakes fist-

Please tell me you didn't buy the Clubman.

Not getting a MINI period.  Why?  Because my dad's retarded.  That's why.  We're mainly looking at a Mazda5 Grand Touring with nav, an '09 Sonata Limited V6 with nav and Bluetooth, and an '09 Forester 2.5X L.L. Bean.
