New Mini Owner from Michigan

Hello all! Just last weekend I picked up my first Mini. 2005 MCS with the JCW package. It's been ton's of fun so far! Here are a few pics:










And here are some pics of my previous car. 2000 Subaru Impreza RS with an 06 WRX EJ255 drivetrain swap. I blew the engine (for the second time) so I decided to quit putting money into it.



Subarus will always have a special place in my heart, but so far I am loving the Mini! Trying to do a lot of searching around the forum and figure out what mods I'd like to do. Definitely need some tires ASAP as the all-seasons just don't cut it. I don't have the JCW paperwork currently, so I'm not sure if it has the LSD. Definitely has the suspension, visual, and engine mods though.

Looking forward to using this site as a resource!
Jordan

That's an exceptional JCW JordanY! You didn't say how many miles it has, but it looks like it has been very well maintained. The Subarus are really well built cars of course, but I have little doubt your JCW will bring years of reliable service, and most importantly, fun. And when it comes to enthusiasts, well, it's hard to beat a Miniac.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I never thanked you all for the welcome!

And thanks Squirlz for letting me know about Michigan Mini as well! I'm going to try to make the MIS event.

Cheers!
