        You want an automatic JCW with all the works....
        I do I do! Didn't rate the minis until I got the Cooper S. I'm pretty blown away. Goes like stink, big car feel inside, looks different enough. Am converted. Great piece of kit. JCW next if I can find one I like.

          Minis are awesome. They are really fun to drive (the Italian Job movie, the one with Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron used 2 electric Cooper and 1 Cooper S). Unfortunately there is no de-restricted autobahn equivalent in the UK so it is not possible to responsibly unleash their engine power at speed here other than at a race track.

              For those savers out there who have difficulty spending the cash they have what keeps you incentivized to work? This is a question that has come up often as a result of the pandemic - Many people felt that they dont need the financial rewards of work and threw in the towel

              Do savers here who are frugal (and not stingy) actually ever choose to exercise voluntary retirement rather than forced termination ?!

                To be fair I have a fairly easy life they pay me to put up with stupidity and penny pinching!

                Retirement is not far away though. It will be partial and hopefully on my terms.

                    What's that got to do with anything? If you can afford to retire, or semi-retire, then why not? Enjoy life while you're young enough to make the most of it!

                      Indeed if I had my time again I would partially retire ASAP I don't love work!
