Welcome to the show! I got mine on 12-10 and I was finally able to break it in today(1200 miles). I was finally able to motor spiritedly and I was very pleasantly surprised. I know they say they upped the power 9 horses from my '10 MCS hardtop but they were some pretty powerful horses. I can't say how fast I got up to today but I did it very quickly. I was wanting to ket a stage 1 kit or a JCW tune but I don't know now.

Thanks guys, I took the car through some local mountains and the car handles beautifully. It was a true test of my willpower to keep the revs down! Next on deck are some bridgestone re-11's!!!

How do you like the sport suspension? I should be getting mine in the next week or two.

I had spoken with a few people who told me the ride was going to be pretty rough but after driving the car the sport susp has already exceeded my expectations. Perfectly acceptable for daily use in my opinion. It def has a stiffer ride than a non equipped mini, but I feel the pros outweigh the cons especially if you aren't going the aftermarket route.

I'm with you on the revs. The 1,200 miles comes quickly. Also, those are some of the best if you want glue for tires. I would love to get them but I need something a little better for snow/wet. Tell us how they do when you get 'em.

Congragulations and you live in a very Mini friendly area. Check out www.SCMM.org which may just be the largest Mini club in the world and you are in the middle of it : )

Hey, man. Thinking about getting a 2011 Justa automatic. Just going for 15" rims and no sports package. Two questions for you if you don't mind:

1. In your honest opinion, does your car feel like it can't keep up when trying to pass on the freeway or even getting up to speed when entering the freeway?

2. Do you Justas come with a spare tire (donut) if you order one without the runflats?

Thanks!
