I just bought a new to me 2010 Chili Red JCW Convertible. I wanted a small convertible that could still fit my family of four (I was shocked that we fit easily). Manual transmission was also a must. My other option was a Fiat Abarth 500. I love the way the Abarth's sound but had no idea the JCW's have such a nice exhaust note. I'm glad I chose the JCW.

Hope to see some Mini owners at a local meet sometime.

Welcome to NAM, Albert. Congratulations on the purchase of your R57. The JCW is a great choice and you will enjoy it a great deal. Got any pictures?

 

I tried out a friend's Fiat 500 Abarth. You made a way better choice!

 

I had reliability and quality control issues in regards to mini but I think fiat makes mini look like Toyota in that respect.

I saw a fiat 500 convertible and the paint on the roof spoiler was peeling like crazy. That took fiat off of my list.

 

Welcome to Nam post some pics when you get a chance motor on

 

Welcome and Congrats
