new owner from Down Under
G'day all just got my first modern Mini it's a 2008 [complianced in Australia] JCW limited edition Cooper S Cabrio, but I believe built in 2007 as its supercharged, I have owned several early 1275 Cooper S's in the past [regretfully sold, as their now worth big big bucks now in Aus] but are starting to really love the new addition, I just sold my 1966 MG Midget [cause I couldn't get out without falling on the ground] and this will be a fun replacement, I will have a lot of questions to ask as unfortunately I cant leave any thing stock, so by for now out for a spin in the hills

Welcome to the forum. Lots of help herein. Some must do mods include front strut tower plates, a heavier 19 or 22 MM adjustable rear sway bar and performance struts like KONI special active. Consider replacing the coolant expansion tank with a steel one, the plastic seam will fail eventually.
And lastly, to quote an oldtimer, "Pictures dammit, pictures. Without pictures, it didn't happen."

Welcome.
Small favor if you get time? It looks a bit of a run from Neerim to Torquay, but would you please drive the Great Ocean Road for me at least once?
I've not been on it since I left Melbourne (St. Kilda) in '81, and I do miss it a great deal!
Cheers,
Charlie
