I recently picked up a 2012 JCW Coupe. Its my 3rd MINI but I get asked about it on a daily basis by people saying they have never seen anything like it. I usually tell them that they are pretty rare which leads me to the question, does anyone know how many approximately are in the U.S.?

Thanks for any insight

 

I also have a 12 R58 JCW, even at MOTD each year there couldn't be more than ten or
so there. I still get asked "what kind of car is it?"

 

Not that many. I eill have to find the number, we did post it up in another thread here somewhere. BTW, I have one.


Here are the Roadsters:

My wife had one but hurt her shoulder so she traded it in. Nice little car a little small for someone 6'3" and 250 lbs. though.

 

Great looking car mine is the same spec just in pepper white. Im 6'6" 185 and fit perfectly. Could see where it would get a little tight though.

 

We usually go to opening day at Watkins Glen International with our local MINI club and last year we had over 200 MINIs from all over New York, Canada and even as far away as Alabama. Not one R58 JCW in sight. Looking forward to having mine there this year!

 

What day is that? I'd love to come up there.

 

This year its April 8-9. MINIs usually all go on the 9th. Its a great time, we all meet up at a winery on the lake and motor in together for our laps. They usually host an after party as well. One of the most fun events I've done. You're more than welcome to motor up with our club in Binghamton. We are about an hour and a half away from Watkins Glen, right on the way for you.

 

Impressive, most impressive. I will definitely try to make it up there. Sounds like a blast! Thanks for the invite.

 

Love your car D4RTH. The Glen is tremendous fun! Set a record last year at 206 MINI's. See you there.

 

I'm from Jamestown, NY and can't wait to go to the Watkins event. I will bring my British racing green R55

 

One of my co-workers here at MINI of Manhattan has a restaurant in Jamestown, NY. His parents and him own it and they run and operate it.

It's the Allen Street Diner on Allen Street. The owners are super sweet and amazing people. You've probably have eaten there already.
