Just bought a Mini 2 days ago! '05 JCW S

hello everyone!

I was in the market for a new car and spent two weeks straight researching the Mini Cooper S. After all that, I finally knew what I wanted, a JCW Cooper in blue with a pano roof, and gray or black interior and mesh wheels. Well guess what?! I found it and bought it two days ago!

I drove 4 hours to get it, but it's been very worth it! I absolutely love driving it and it has enough room for my guitars and amp!

This forum looks like a wealth of knowledge so I am happy to be here. I live in Louisiana (not by choice, but by work) where the roads can sometimes tear up a lowered suspension so I have to be careful!

Welcome! That is one clean looking Mini. I know everyone has their own style, but I agree that it looks so nice without graphics. Happy motoring!

Thanks everyone! I can't wait to autox it! I'm fighting the urge to start upgrading parts because I want to get a good baseline for what it can do before I start modding. Learning to drive well in a stock car is the best mod you can make, hehe.

I'm in Shreveport. Since I've bought mine, I've begun to notice more mini's around town but we're still few and far between seeing as how the nearest mini dealer is in Dallas, I believe.
