New JCW owner in Hawaii
Greetings Fellow MINI Enthusiasts!
My name is Ivan and I just picked up my 2011 Chili Red JCW December 15th.
I purchased it here at Mini of Hawaii in Oahu.
The dealer gave me a full tour of the car inside and out last month and after the test drive I was hooked.
Within two days I had the JCW strut brace installed, and just yesterday I put on the JCW carbon fiber bonnet scoop and added the JCW Black Grill Trim from Out Motoring.
This is my first fwd, turbo car and I love it. Been wanting one of these cars for a while and I am hooked.
This forum is awesome and the information here is great!

Welcome to my fellow Garrison member! We need to form a 501st MINI club. I know of at least one other 501st member here who has two MINIS.
I may just have to come visit you two in Hawaii. At least I know I could get my MINI fix while escaping the Tennessee cold. Don't forget my offer to babysit your ride if you have to ship it back here for any reason. I'll make sure it gets regular exercise and tender loving care.

Welcome! I ordered my Mini from Mini Hawaii too last week, was this the Mini in the showroom or was this new on the lot??? Cause if so, this is identical to the one I ordered last week 
. Who sold you the car? Ryan was our guy, he was totally chill with me and my husband going crazy testdriving the S (my husband autocrosses at the Aloha Stadium). Are you going to be joining any Mini groups here on the island?

Ryan is a very cool dude, he was the first salesman I met. He was the one who showed me everything on the MINI inisde and out.
Mark ended up being my salesman for the rest of the transaction.
The MINI I ended up choosing was actually already on the boat, heading towards California.
I do hope to attend some club meetings to talk to other enthusiasts.
did you do an island cruise today?

Welcome *Ghost* !! That JCW MINI is awfully nice!! Enjoy it and take good care of it! Beachfront pics look enticing! We have 20" of snow on the ground here still, with 3ft drifts around the house. Dug the MINI out yesterday, though it was idling daily since the snow fell on 12/26.
Welcome Again!!
