My new baby, 08 MCS DS/B w stage 1 JCW

Just picked her up today after selling my '03 MCS. Only the excitment of a new MINI can overcome the loss of your first. The midrange torque is great even with the light break-in throttle. Lost the shift **** on the first strong 1-2 shift, guess this will make it easier to change to one of Robin's in the future.

Glad to stay a part of the NAM family

Good choice on the DS/B - very sharp combo IMO.

Congrats & glad to have you aboard as a part of NAM!

Now there is one requirement that all new owners must comply with and that is pics of your new baby!

Me want pics... Me want pics... NOW!

Enjoy & Motor On!

erro, Sounds like a sharp combination. Picture please!

I do like the DS/XXX combinations, I'm biased.

Congrats. The JCW kit is on my wish list.

Pictures comming, just took some but they are too large to post. While this MIMI is new I am not new to NAM or minis, got my first one 7/03 and have been lurking since before then.
I think DS/B is the best color combo, why I ordered it again. Everyone at work asked where is the new car that one looks the same.
Great a great deal on the JCW since it was installed at the port, $1580 complete. Have to give a shout out to my MA at Sterling for not raking me over the coals on the JCW.

Is the Sterling breakfast this weekend?

$1,580 for the tuning kit?

That is a great deal.

Looking forward to pictures. Congratulations on a nice car.

That's a great price for the kit no matter who installed it.
