Hi all, I just purchased a 2005 MCS JCW mini this saturday. I've been searching for the last 2 months for this exact car and fell in love with it as soon as I laid eyes on it. It didn't hurt when 3 days after I found the car, the price dropped $2,500 . I should be picking it up in a few days and I'll post more pictures of it when I get her.
My only plans are to tint the back 3 windows (gp style ) and maybe some 4 spoke GP wheels, if I can ever find a set by next year.
Looks like the holes were made by the previous owner. At least they made up for it by already tinting the sunroof.
Anyway, I picked her up today. I got raped by the marlyand state taxes when I went to register in MD, that's the last time I buy out of state. It was like 1,100 bucks.
Anywho, I tried driving a stick for the first time in my life tonight... well not really, but the first time I ever managed to move without stalling. This little car is a blast to drive, I can't wait to drive it on the main roads and open it up. Anywho, I'll post more pictures after it gets detailed tomorrow or Thursday (if it rains on wednesday), but here's a few pictures from this afternoon.
If you guys have any picture request, let me know. ;)
130 HP per Liter, eat that Honda!

Welcome to the club! Maryland sales tax does bite, but the worst is that when you trade a car in Maryland, you get no credit for sales tax on the trade. Gets a bit pricy if you get a new car every two or three years.
. I should be picking it up in a few days and I'll post more pictures of it when I get her.
