Newb in Minnysnowta

Greetings from the Frozen Tundra! I purchased a 2021 F57 JCW in DFW on Monday and drove her home. Long drive, but very enjoyable in a go cart on steroids! I’ve previously own three convertibles (06, 05, 06) and was impressed with the technology and hp jump. Looking forward to the MINI community inputs and knowledge.

Home in Princeton, MN


Classic Chevrolet, Dallas/Ft Worth. A very honest business!

Very nice and presumably a reliability jump to go with the hp jump too.

How long was the drive?

cheers

CR Magazine actually recommends MINIs now, which is a complete 180 from previous reviews. The trip was approximately 15 hours driving time. I departed the Dallas Fort Worth dealership at 5:15 PM, which was an obvious mistake due to rush-hour traffic. Made it to Oklahoma City before my butt decided I needed to sleep. It was nice watching the sunrise over the Kansas plain.
