I've been a lurker on this site for quite some time and I just picked up my first Mini last Saturday; a 2013 JCW GP (Actually, my wife and I both got Minis last weekend. She got a Countryman S All4 ). It is quite possibly the most fun that I've ever had in a car! I'm coming from a fairly modded 2007 Subaru STI and so far I haven't missed the power at all. From what I've read over the last couple of years, this seems like a great site with great people and a lot less bickering than some other automotive forums. Anyway, here's the first pick of her upon delivery. Looking forward to being a part of the Mini community!

 

Nice ride!

 

I bet when you go to the pool, you don't wade into the water slowly, poking a foot in, then up to the ankle, then the calf. You just dive right into the deep end, right ?

Very nice ! Congrats and enjoy !

 

Exactly! Why mess around?

I'm enjoying every minute of it! Thanks!

 

There you go ! Just be careful when it comes to romantic time with the Mrs. That's one time when just jumping right in and going for it will get you in trouble.

 

You sir, are a badass. Your first mini is perhaps the best mini money can buy, congrats. More pictures please.

 

Thanks! I promise some pictures after I get her washed. Had a bit of rain yesterday! Plus, the wheels are filthy since I had Michelin Pilot Supersports mounted yesterday. Now to get some other wheels for the V700s!

 

WOWEE a GP! You got yourself the quintessential pocket rocket G_Rock... Sweet ride, congrats!

We sure would love to see some more pics of your GP and also the wife's CM so c'mon buddy... post up those pics cause we love pics... yes we do!

Now then, in the meantime break-in those MINIs and may the road ahead contain many miles and smiles for you and the wife!

Motor On!

 

Here are a few crappy iPhone pics.
