Just joined the club with an 06 MCS JCW

I just purchased a 2006 Mini Cooper S JCW. Cloth seats no sunroof my father in law says it's a nice car, has lots of maintenance records.


The deal should be wrapped up tomorrow or Tuesday. The bad part is the car is in Texas and I'm not....My father in law is doing all the legwork for me and will pick it up and drive it up here in late May. my in-laws have always wanted to drive the Alcan, so now they have the opportunity....


anyway I don't have a lot of pictures and I'm super excited but the wait is going to kill me....


I'm a BMW nut I have a 1981 BMW 323i Baur topcabriolet and a 1998 BMW M3 Sedan, that is currently squashed from being backed into in the driveway...
anyway some photos:

4 MINIs later, the 2006 MCS is still my favorite of all of them, and I wish I kept it. And that wasn't even the JCW. Great find!

yea the po put covers over the chrome trim I can remove them if I don't like the blacked out look. It's going to me a long three months....I dropped by the mini dealer up here today and got my daughter a keychain and my son a pullback mini car. I'll have to order the hat they were out.

Yes indeed, and 06 JCW is still DS. The LSD is nice too. I'm trying to convince my inlaws to make the trek a few weeks earlier so I don't miss half the season.
