was a member when i had a 08 clubman s. now i have my 4th mini (67, 02, 08 were the previous 3). wanted a jcw stage 2 but wife cannot drive a manual , so found a 09 (ss/ss auto with a stage 1 kit and r105 matte black wheels ) with just under 12k miles. have only had it for a few days but have not driven my jeep grand cherokee srt8 since it got here. changed out the ss mirror caps for black and the chrome scuttles for black. thankfully the how to and members have made those changes a snap
