Day 2 of a MINI-phile

Hey all! I am a Richmond VA resident and, Just this past Saturday, pick up my first MINI. It is a Pepper White 2009 Cooper JCW with 16000 miles. This car is in a word, AWESOME. It was a little over my price range, but the Chevy dealer I found it at had no idea what options it actually had and WAY under priced it. I had to take it before someone else did. I don't have any other photos yet beyond these from the dealer site, though; too busy motoring!!!

Very nice! Sounds like you got a nice deal. Used JCW's are hard to come by and JCW's with the JCW aero kit are extremely rare in the used market. Welcome to NAM. Enjoy your new JCW!

Heheh... to quote the mini dealership I dealt with.
ME: "looks like a Nice S cabrio, is that a JCW badge I see"
Dealer:"Nope it is just an S, but in really good shape"
Me: "Ok well I will buy it unseen, I'll get my bank to call you"
Hangup
10 minutes later after my bank locks in the sale.
Dealer: "Just calling you to tell you we looked up the VIN, dealer added the JCW unit after sale, about 6 months after purchase."
Me: "Bonus!"

Sometimes even the dealers who do nothing but MINI, have NO idea what they have.

By the way - really nice ride!

Update!!!

Well, I cannot stop driving this car! I have some more photos for everybody.

And, here is list of what I think is on this bad boy.

Pepper White Body Color
Black Bonnet Stripes
Anthracite Headliner
Chrome Line Interior
White Turn Signals
Center Arm Rest
Auto AC
Heated Seats
Leather: Lounge Carbon Black
Xenon Headlamps
Retractable Headlamp Washers
Bluetooth and USB
Driving Lamps Black
Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
Black Rubber Floor Mat Front and Rear
Wheel Locks
Sunroof
Window Shades
JCW Aero Kit
JCW Carbon Fiber Bonnet Scoop
JCW Carbon Fiber Rear Door Handle
JCW Strut Brace

I think I may have the JCW suspension. The coil springs are red, but I am not sure how I can tell. Anybody have any suggestions?

LOVE THIS MINI! I think I am going to get a badge holder and put an Star Wars Imperial Logo on it cause I think it looks like a Mini Stormtrooper.
