Does getting the Countryman mean you actually get a more practical car despite it being a MINI?

We get to watch Jon work that boot!

But let's not forget, this is a JCW, so just how does it handle the roads?

Watch the full video to see Jon grapple with the car's turbo lag!

the lag is caused by the  the gearbox lah.

  • Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party).

    This. This watch dial is the reason I started on this particular watch build... It all began when I came across someone's build that utilised the same dial - prior to this, I did not even know of the existence of a Walter Wolf Racing branded watch or dial. If you don't have any idea who or what Walter Wolf Racing is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Walter Wolf Racing was a Formula One constructor active from 1977 to 1979, which won the first race the team entered. It was owne
