Keep it wild. The John Cooper Works Fashion from the MINI Collection 2008-2009.

Munich. For almost 50 years, the cooperation between MINI and British tuning
master John Cooper Works has been standing for extreme MINI driving fun. The
most recent results of this collaboration are the MINI John Cooper Works and
the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman. With 211 hp, top speed of 238 km/h, and
authentic motorsport design, these two power machines bring real racing feeling
to the road. The John Cooper Works Collection, a new series of the MINI
Collection, also represents the real spirit of sports: Fashion for men and
women in popular vintage style as well as practical accessories, which do not
only set the hearts of tuning fans racing. The John Cooper Works emblem adds a
distinct touch to every piece of this new collection.

Each John Cooper Works MINI is unique. The same is true for the Hot Stuff
T-Shirts from the John Cooper Works Collection, available in grey for men and
in green for women. Each Hot Stuff print on the front of these casual round
neck shirts has its own trendy vintage look, which was created over the course
of 20 washing cycles. The result is compelling, especially in combination with
the sporty Unisex Cap. This green cap with peak, various seams, and Hot Stuff
print on the inside is available in two different sizes.

Innovative details make a classic even better. The green long-sleeved Men's
John Cooper Works Rugby Shirt features a contrasting canvas collar in black.
Another highlight is the breast pocket on the inside - from the outside, only
the contours are visible.

The brown adjustable Leather Bracelet in vintage look with metal fastening
makes the sporty, masculine look perfect.

The John Cooper Works Accessory is a must - not only for hobby mechanics and
tuning enthusiasts. A karabiner with metal ring including various attachments
made of metal, leather, and cotton such as a bottle opener, a John Cooper Works
logo, as well as a fully functional wrench.

The Fleece Blanket provides full underbody protection for all kinds of outdoor
activities. With the all over print "Mechanics", an illustration of the John
Cooper Works Garage, this grey fleece blanket is truly in style. The canvas
straps allow for easy rolling up and carrying.

The complete John Cooper Works Collection from the MINI Collection 2008-2009 is
immediately available online at www.MINI.com/shop. The current MINI Collection
catalogue can also be downloaded from this site.
