I had it for a full 3 days before i shipped it to italy, i'll be in Naples italy.
In those 3 days i deft noticed why people who own these minis love them, the car is fast and handles amazing coming from a new 335 sedan it'll take a bit to get used to the stiffness of the JCW suspension because on my drive down to south carolina the car bounced a bit more than i would like during rough roads..

I Was looking for a black or Grey one but after driving this one and noticed it already had all the JCW upgrades you could do to that year model ( performance wise ) it just made sense and after a few days the color grew on me.
I feel like i need to delete everything thats white and chrome soon..
