thanks!!! I'm from Florence, Firenze, you probably know it!! Just in the centre of italy...well this is our first Mini, the first time I've tried it, also if its not a fast car, I loved it and or one minute I've had the idea to sell my Lotus to buy a Cooper GP, but...I'm not so sure! For sure when we'll change this Mini I'll want to stay again to Mini, maybe an S....

"New" to the forum. So I thought I should follow protocol and hit this thread first. Actually I've been lurking for quite sometime. Just haven't had the need or knowledge to post.
I've been awaiting the right time to buy a MCS and it looks like the time has come. Barring any unfortunate happenings I plan on buying an R53 mostly likely an 05-06 before the end of the year but as early as tomorrow if I find the one that speaks to me.
This forum has been a great source of info for me for quite a while - THANK YOU ALL.

New JCW MINI owner, looking at winter setup
I am thrilled with my new 2009 Factory JCW that I picked up on July 31st, 2009. It is just 16 miles away from end of break-in period! It was the only one left on the east coast that met my requirements - i.e., being a JCW hardtop!
As I live in northern Maine, I am concerned about winter tires. I love the Nokian Hakkapeliitta's I have on another (non-MINI) car, but don't think I can get them for the JCW. I'm looking at Pirelli's and Kazera KZ-J rims (black with red strip that make it look as if it has redlines). My 'other' fun cars are a Triumph TR250 (on the road) and a TR3B (still to be reassembled).
I just love the MINI! What a blast for this old SCCA racer to drive!!! I guess I need to think of a name for the JCW.... Hmmm.....

Hello all!! After over a month of looking around at available mini's in my area, I finally made the purchase today. I picked up an 06 MC BRG/W for an amazing price and am absolutely loving it. It didn't come with many options on it so I will quickly begin making additions. I commute about 150 miles a day and will get plenty of time to enjoy.

Well hello there from Bonnie Scotland!
Hi,
I stumbled on this site when trying to find out whether I could fit the Base Support System to the roof of my 2008 Cooper S Clubman, with a Panoramic Sunroof option. I take delivery of the car tomorrow and am loking forward to getting it! I think it looks good, don't you? Any advice about the roof system would be appreciated. Bye for now
