MINI Clubman JCW 306hp - Three Peaks Challenge | PistonHeads

[@mikefleming8945]

What can I say guys, big thanks for the opportunity of getting involved in this road trip. Dan, Ben, Sam, Shona, Robbie, Adam, and of course Chris and Ian, it was a pleasure. The new car really is a fantastic machine. I like that Clubbys both old and new are not everyones cup of tea, be a boring place if we all liked the same stuff.

After a test drive...i expected to be disappointed coming from an Hyundai i30N....but far from it....Just ordered one...my first ever Mini at 69yrs old.

[@kamsainikamaludin7181]

Congratulations! Excellent choice.

[@TrojanHamster]

Nice but shame it wasn't more in depth. A proper comparison across the different gens of mini on a trip like that wouldn't have been really interesting

[@rare6499]

Great looking R53 🙏

[@zachbackar5389]

The Lake District is won of the most majestic places on Earth but driving the new Mini thru it is my dream come true. I will return someday.

[@eecak1973]

Nice trailer. Can't wait for the full video.

[@bayharborbutcher8132]

I just tested the 306 HP Countryman JCW today, lol... It's one of the craziest and most comfiest cars I've ever driven in.

[@neiltaylor513]

Bay Harbor Butcher interesting to hear, why is it crazy? And comfy?

[@SeanHendy]

Proud owner of an R57 JCW. My bonnet scoop air intake is real. Shame it isn’t on the new JCWs and Cooper S models...

[@mikefleming8945]

What have you fitted to your R57 intake Sean?

[@SeanHendy]

Mike Fleming haven’t fitted anything to it, it’s stock. 1.6 turbo, so I imagine turbo has air flow from it.

[@mikefleming8945]

I thought you'd maybe fitted a cold air intake of some sort. As standard the scoop is pretty much cosmetic too, only on the R53 was it fully utilized to feed cold air to the intercooler. I know it's open, but only about 50%, and it probably lets more hot air out when you stop than cold air in when you drive lol.

[@SeanHendy]

Mike Fleming still more functional than a stuck on dummy scoop.

[@mikefleming8945]

@@SeanHendy I hear you, I've got one lol, although to be honest I prefer the clean look of a normal Cooper bonnet. I guess they had to keep it to look different.

Great video chaps 👍🏻

[@cardudespty8514]

AWESOME

[@Invis_Space]

Anyone know where those roads in Scotland are? 1:20 mark on the video. Thanks to anyone that knows haha great video!

Glencoe

[@mikefleming8945]

Yes, that was heading up through Glencoe, we were lucky with the weather that day.

[@Invis_Space]

Ritchie Wallace, Mike Fleming guys thank you for replying! Really appreciate that! Alright it’s now on my list!

[@mikefleming8945]

You're welcome mate, we scored with the weather when we filmed that, last week of August, it looks equally great in winter too.

[@chawenhalo0089]

Would like to know if this hefalump generation Mini is better than the last Clubman JCW. That was quite an exotic non factory build. Can't help thinking this is just another cynical marketing exercise... If it is any good is it as good ar touring than say a Gold Clubsport or R?

[@vasilisrroshi8642]

I still prefer my r53😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@t3willow]

Disappointed it's all about the 'guys' - there are some of us ladies out here just as mad about the JCWs!!

[@mikefleming8945]

I'm sure there are Lin, I know a few who are/were totally mad about theirs, I guess none applied for the trip.

[@revolutions88]

You women have branded this brand as a girl car ffs what else do you want?!?!

[@t3willow]

Need nothing more from The Coopers just a bit more inclusion 😉😉😉 take it all with a pinch of fun!

[@boots_n_coots]

Trying to imagine my JCW with 100 added HP... crazy! Good vid guys, (but some of the commentary was unintelligible due to distorted audio and loud music).

[@the___truth8038]

And 4WD! 🥵😍

Dear lord, why the hell didn't they offer it with a stick???

Shouldn't sponsored content be flagged as such?

It says “Promoted” in the title

Excuse me, sir, but you DO NOT GET GO-KART HANDLING IN A STATION WAGON...HELLO!

[@ekimandersom4478]

It is not longer as a Leon or Golf

Stop saying "go-kart feeling", youtubers. It's not. Not ever has there been a car with go-kart feeling.

[@Dogteddy1]

Not sure how you can make such a great trip , look so boring. So So slow !

[@dingding6085]

Mini in name but not Mini in price.
