Hi all,

I bought my Orange/Black Cabrio back in '05 and JCW'ed it out at the time. JCW engine kit, JCW exhaust, JCW airbox, JCW brakes, JCW strut brace and Alta Vista sway bar sum up all the mods to date. JCW suspension would not fit the conv. at the time.

Poor car has been a fair weather Sunday driver and only has 15k miles on it. Kinda sad, really. But, very enjoyable miles and all with the top down.

I finally managed to get it out onto the track this past weekend and I had a blast. Only 4 sessions and I went from being completely scared and lapped by everyone (even the Miata's and another Mini) to hanging on the bumper of another Mini driver. It was fun exploring the limits of my driving skills and letting the Mini show me its stuff.

I am trolling the site looking for mods now. Playing catch up so sorry in advance if I ask questions that have been answered a 101 times before.

 

Welcome to the forum, better late than never hope you enjoy your membership. Holw about posting a picture of your '05 so we can all see your friend.

 

Welcome, if we can answer anything for you let us know. We've been racing and doing track days for years.

 

Glad you had some fun out there!

 

Will do. I posted up a couple photos from last weekend's track day. I split the day with a friend so I put those up.
