MINIUSA Releases JCW Challenge Decals

And btw that is Corinna Schumacher driving the car in the photo (wife of Ralph Schumacher).

Does the driver have any relation with Michael Schumacher? Is it his wife, possibly?

Where do these people get their pricing guidelines from? It’s a good thing that BMW/Mini isn’t in the coffee business, I don’t think I’m quite ready for a $15.82 cup of joe.

I actually like the checkers. not 81.00 like, but I still like them.

I don’t see what’s the big deal though about it being used on the road. Seems to me like it’s just the checker design, not all the stuff at the bottom of the checkers, right? if this is the case, seems like every other design out there.

Ooops…sorry guys, its not Carra, I am getting mixed up with your NHRA dragster driver…but it is CORA as per the below press story; Here is a rough translation of some of the accompanying text that came with that photo: Cora Schumacher, wife of Formula-1-driver Ralf Schumacher (BMW WilliamsF1 team), starts a career as a racer. The 27 years old wants to complete the entire season of the MINI Challenge 2004 altogether on seven running weekends around valuable points. “now I know, why Ralf sits so gladly in the car and running. my first test drive already went well,” Cora Schumacher said of her first experiences with the new car. Their running vehicle is 200 HP and 226 km/h fast MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works Tuning kit. Cora Schumacher drives the vehicle of Veltins and becomes f? the team Premium Cars to the start go. Ralf Schumacher says of the running ambitions of his wife: “I am pleased that Cora is driving with the MINI Challenge 2004. Thus she gets a still better view of my work. Perhaps it can do me or others also taps gives “, stated the formula -1-Pilot with a smile.

The driver in the photo is Cora Schumacher – Ralf Schumacher’s wife. Ralf is the younger brother of Michael Shumacher.

Heh… well said.

Actually, I like that checker style, and have asked the two major mini decal company how much they for them to make it. One quoted for close to $100 and the other one more than $200. So, $80 is not that bad. Just my opinion.

Yeah I would say the price is very fair comparatively. For some reason people seem to love to attack JCW/MINI on pricing of every product it comes out with.

“With so many voicing how they don’t like the look or price of nearly every option that comes along it is a wonder that BMW is willing to bring any option stateside.”

Maybe those voices are right?

I am often pretty vocal here when i don’t like something, but I also speak up when MINI does something right. I like these decals. Overpriced perhaps, but I think they look good. They don’t scream out “Type R”, they just say “no nonsense sport.” Though I think they won’t match up well with every color option.

Ditto on the number decal/sticker….

they will look da bomb on my MC40.

A little off-topic but does anybody know if Mini will release other racking equipment (e.g. a ski rack) that works with the Sport Link? I have to get a rack fitted to my MCS that arives in October as i go biking and sking quite often. Even though i cant justify the price tag on the Sport Link, getting the roof drilled for the standard racking system sounds cruel to me for a new car. What do you guys think and suggest?

Thanks, Kaan

I think Ralf could use some lessons from his wife.
