MTTS’08 JCW cars
Nearby the auto-x track, a couple of new factory JCW cars were parked - and they look nice! I wonder if they’ve improved the clutch feel to make them more driveable?
If I had to get an R56/R55 factory JCW, it would have to be the Clubman! It looks so much better than the regular car in JCW form - the twin rear exhausts are much nicer, the stance of the car is much better, and in red/black form, the black pouring down the back off the roof gives it a beautiful look:
You might have seen on MotoringFile that Todd got a ride in a (non-Clubman) factory JCW on the auto-x course … and GBMINI was there with camera 
Todd also got some driving time in it!

I agree Ian! the JCW Clubman would be my choice as well. I know you mentioned your camera was a bit heavy and bulky but it sure does take awesome pictures.

Thanks for the great photos Ian!

Yes, thank you Ian! I used one somewhere - gave you credit!
For me, I would take the JCW hardtop!
