Just picked up my 2013 JCW GP in Abu Dhabi UAE

Hello

I just picked up my Mini GP after waiting for a good 8 months here in the UAE.
Here are some pics.

I am posting a link

It's beautiful and the brakes are the best part of it, Strong!!!!
Handling great and not harsh

Only gripes with it, no cruise control or PDC and ipod does not connect.

Mini wise, I used to have an R56 Cooper S.
Right now a 1M and M3.
I just can't get enough of the Mini.

It's amazing
Very sharp.

Fantastic car! I live in Abu Dhabi as well (although my MINI lives back in the states). I'm definitely gonna keep my eyes peeled for this beauty!

The car looks great!!

Suspension shots are interesting, H&R springs, and you can see the spring specs. Also assuming you haven't altered ride height it looks like the front is almost at the highest setting from the factory.
