1st Time Mini Owner

This is my first, 2010 mini cooper s with john cooper works power kit and suspension, recently sold my 2013 bmw 335 sedan because of my move to italy.
I did a lot of research and after looking and looking i found this one owner meticulous taken care of at a mini dealership, i was even able to get the full history from the dealer..

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..
