New JCW owner and loving it!

Hello All,

New to MINI and I am really happy I purchased the car. I have looked at these cars for years and when I saw the new JCW with red roof I had to have it. Coming from a Mazdaspeed3 I was nervous the MINI would not have the quickness but thank god for the sport button!

Hope to have many happy years with this car...

I know it's a bit of a stretch but we got a CX-7 in April and loved its quick MS3ness, in an auto form of course. It is obviously larger and heavier but still fun and sporty. Then I got my MINI almost 2 months ago and now she always asks to drive my car. So yeah, I know where you are coming from and where you are headed. Enjoy it and love the attention of the new ride and the support on NAM.

Here is the inside, chrome, satellite grey interior, bluetooth, and harman kardon sound system which I really enjoy! I wish it had a sunroof and not butt warmers but what can you do? Thanks for all the compliments and that is one fast car!

Man, that is one sharp car inside & out.

If you ever take a trip & need someone to watch your JCW, or just, ya know, start it every once in a while - for the battery I mean - I volunteer!
