New 2010 JCW

Hi All.


The wife and I just picked up our new JCW on Saturday. We absolutely fell in love with it, from the crisp and clean shifting and clutch to the way it handling. It is a very responsive and quick little ride with enough room to haul our dogs too! We purchased it in Portland Oregon, loaded our 2 English Mastiffs in it and headed up to Mount St. Helens for our first road trip. The dogs love it too, just the right amount of room for them in the back!

Excellent pictures and a very nice MINI.

Congratulations, many good miles ahead.

How much does the rack and cargo box affect how the MINI handles? What is the capacity of that box?

It appears you have some long trips planned with the pups!

That is a really sweet looking MINI. I love Pepper White/Black with black wheels. Congrats!

Looks great, and you know how to break in a new MINI, that's for sure ;-)

Enjoy!

It still handles great with the box on there . I don't think I will leave it on for autocrossing but for running around and hauling extra gear it works great. I think it holds 12 cubic ft and up to 75lbs.

I know our cars are small, but next to your dogs, the Mini REALLY lives up to his name. Great looking dogs!!!
