I'm a new member and I bought this Mini three weeks ago. I started out looking for something that was good on gas and was fun to drive! I have many cars, (02 ZO6 Vette, (2) 33 Ford hot rods, and a 4 x 4 truck) This Mini is such a blast to drive, I don't have to explain it to all of you, you understand. Some of my Vette and rod friends just don't get it!!! The one's that have driven it GET IT!!!! This forum has helped me learn so much in just three weeks.......Thanks all....................Les

 

Good choice of mods already.. Nice JCW wheels and aero kit.. Keep up the mods and welcome

 

MinLes,

Aloha and welcome to NAM.
That's a great looking CR/W MCS with JCW wheels, rally lights and aerokit plus-

A "Virgin Mary on the fender"???!!???
Just kidding.

 

No, no, no!!!!!!!! It's the JC Works under the hood, not the Virgin Mary on the fender.
Uh Oh!!!!!!! I see her now. :smile: Mea culpa!!!
Where's the rosary when you need it?

 

I've cleaned it so much I wore through the hood!!!!! ..Les

 

Welcome to the boards. I just need to wait for my baby to get here and ill be able to join all of you on good times.

By the way nice ride. I wish i got the aero kit, but in no way am i spending 2700 to have one put on.

 

You non-JCW folks need to learn to pay close attention to the front grille... after noticing the JCW wheels, the grille was the first place I looked. Yep, Works badge. :smile:

Hey MinLes - next you have to get the JCW brakes & suspension. Trust me, it's well worth it. JCW strut brace coming out any day now too.

 

Edge

It has the JW suspension, JW exhaust, JW carbon fiber dash, everything except brakes. ..Les

 

Beautiful JCW MCS!

We need more pics! Especially some interior shots of the CF dash

 

... and the strut brace, MinLes... but didn't realize you had the suspension (almost impossible to tell without looking up under the wheel well).

Very impressive though! :smile:

MinLes,

I just realized something - how is it that you have the JCW suspension? It has only been released for coupes, not convertibles. I even spoke with Jeff from MINIUSA in person about this, at MINIs On The Dragon last weekend. He had a fully loaded JCW MCSC there on display, and he explained why the JCW suspension wasn't available for convertibles. Basically, there are varying configurations and spring rates depending on the installed features. Since there will only be a limited number of JCW suspension kits sold, they had to make a decision, and supporting twice as many configurations (to include convertibles) was not feasible.

Perhaps your suspension upgrade is aftermarket? Either that or the dealer installed a JCW kit designed for the coupe, against the wishes of MINIUSA?

 

Very nice!!! And Welcome Aboard.......great place here...

02' CR/W MCS (gone to MINI heaven - burned up)
05' Cool Blue MCSC "Ariel"
05' HB/W MCS - delivery on Thursday - Yippee!!

 

It sounds like you looked at the picture wrong. It's not a cabrio...

 

LOL OOPS!

<open mouth, insert foot>

Thanks for setting me straight, ThomB. I'm one very embarrassed JCW MCS owner now.

I think it was the white roof with the white garage door behind it that threw me off. Heh.

 

This is a little better shot of the dash..............les

 

Was that from MINI Peabody? The one for like $40K?

 

Looks like a sweet car found a great and loving home. Congrats to both of you.

 

Minimort.........Yes...........Les

 

All it needs now is a UJ sunroof cover and you'll be all set


I love those wheels, Enjoy oyur new ride.
