Hi everyone… just wanted to introduce myself, I've had mini's for a long time and really am just a big car guy. I bought this 2015 JCW Mini tonight at the dealer and in the 20 or so miles I have put on it really do love it. Here is a quick pic of it in my driveway next to another toy. Its no where near as fast as some of my other cars but it puts a smile on my face.

Will a mountain bike fit in the back with the front wheel off?

Maybe… reason I'm saying that is I haven't tried but knowing the luggage space of my old mini and what I put in there and given that this one appears to be a little larger I think you could fit one in there if you were patient

Welcome and congrats! :)

Your quote really sums it all up about owning great cars; they're satisfying in their own way. Character and soul is what makes cars special.

Dig the FF; hatchback and glorious V12. :thumbsup: ...and the R8...and is that a pepper white earlier gen MINI in there too?

I'l have to look into the DC mini club…I believe I was approached by a group of them one time at a gas station

Great looking collection of cars! I love the R8 and the FF is easily one of my favorite Ferraris; it reminds me of BMW's old M Coupe "clown shoe." Congratulations on the new JCW! She's a beauty.

That FF though.. beautiful. Quite the collection you've got going on. Is that the V8 R8? It is lovely as well. Post up some more snaps of your JCW when you can! :)

Nice thread , Good list of cars, The FF does not get some much love from some Ferrari guys. Worked on a bunch of 308 GTS here.
