We have two! Both are '05 Electric Blue Ss that we bought before we met. This Spring we decided we need something bigger to haul shrubberies and such, so we got a 1962 Falcon station wagon.

[QUOTE=malteseracer;2909087]Get the JCW - do a rear seat delete. Space to haul and fun

What's this rear seat delete? I didn't know if this was a possiblity. There are just the two of us, my wife drives her Jeep Liberty and loves it, so rear passenger space is not a requirement. But, in saying that, what about when it would be time to trade such a car, wouldn't that be a drawback in value? Also, beings as they don't have to put a rear seat in there, wouldn't there be a price reduction? Knowing Mini, they'd probably find a way of charging more.

If you thought anyone here was going to talk you out of a second Mini, boy were you wrong!

Had 2, but had to sell one (long story). Hope to have a second one again this year.

Now I am seriously contemplating of trading in my Infiniti FX for a JCW so me and the Mrs. would have our own mini's each. I know I'm going to be losing the extra space and comfort if I go for the JCW but the works cars is just soo much FUN! Sorry for the rant but I just want to hear others opinion and what you would do if you were in my shoes...

Threads like yours makes me want to get another MINI...R56 JCW specifically.
So jealous of those who have one and RMW tune. I would love to have the GP and beside it an R56 JCW RMW tuned 226 Wheel Horse Power & 256 ft/lb Torque, so freaking jealous. Sorry, Camry you would have to sleep in the streets and get out of the garage, sorry.
