mini/MINI/Justa

Forgive me, but the term "Justa" Has it ALWAYS been around since the beginning of the mini? Or is this just an easy way of saying (non s) or base model? Personally, I never refer to my MINI as a "justa".

If you have say the hatchback/hardtop model, you could simply say: "I have a R56"
Others would say: "I have a R56S"
Or:"I have a R56fJCW"

But for simple terms, and YOURS has the words spoken coolness factor......most say "Justa"
"S", and "JCW".

When looking at the number of sales by model level (?) Justas are ahead of the pack!

So puff out that chest and say it proudly:
"I drive a '13 MINI Justa"

Justa

lol... when you go on other forums and talk about say, my MINI and I learned this quickly that I am never to use lowercase i's in MINI. Tell me then. Is the word "justa" an American thing? Like the Canadian word eh? LOL.

Nope, don't think so.
Read it slowly or maybe type it out.
Here: it's Just a MINI
Get it
Justa, not an S, not a JCW......it's Just a MINI!

I have heard "Justa Cooper" and "Justa" used many times.
