Greetings from Oregon

Hello! My girlfriend and I live in Southern Oregon. We just bought our first Mini a week ago. We got a great deal on a British Racing Green 2010 JCW. We love fun turbo cars so this seemed like the perfect option!
Our other car is a 90 Honda CRX, while its much faster than the mini, it is certainly not as comfortable, or well-handling as the mini! We absolutely love it so far!
And I love photography, so i'll have lots of fun mini pictures!

Haha that's been our project for the last 4 years. It has a B18 with forged internals and Garrett gtx2860r turbo. 330hp for now.

Hi and welcome to the NAM family.
Congrats on your Mini buy!
It is a great streetable car that handles the twisties, like few other cars!
Nice looking! My first Mini was an 05 BRG MCS. I just love the color!

Thanks for the extra information about the CRX. I was confused about how a CRX could be faster than a JCW. I suspect that will change soon when the MINI is upgraded.

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the MINI experience.

Welcome those are great pics. And love that you have the rare hypersport pack. Our first R56 had it and still haven't seen many since.
