First of all -CONGRATS! takes some stones to shell out that much on a MINI, but well done sir!

Second, I love the handle...mywifeisgoingtokillme. To avoid such a fate, I sadly have an MCS in lieu of a JCW lol.

Best of luck and it truly is a gorgeous car.

My wife would NOT kill me! She is saying I should order a new 2013 JCW All4 Countryman! Waiting till I pay off her car first. Should be around late May. I went and drove a 2013 All4 Countryman last weekend. We both liked it. Lots of room. Not a JCW though. I think that is definately the way to go. Will let you know when I order mine. Take care.

+1 NJ Mini on the JCW steering wheel in " alcantara " - great call to complete the look.

Big-time congrats on your purchase! I've been following the story of MINIs spec'd by Motoring File, and liked both the idea and the first car they came up with. I really dig the color combos and options list of this car. I know you'll enjoy the hell out of it.

Drive 'er in good health, and Happy Motoring!

Awesome car! I'd still do the black headlight/tailight rings and grille surrounds - it would look great on that color. Maybe also the JCW scuttles.
