Hey everyone I'm not new to the mini world. This is actually my fourth mini. I currently own a R53 which I'm making it my weekend toy car at the track and my wife owns a countryman. Really fun cars to track, not the fastest. But the most fun. I decided to scale down from a mini JCW hatch and a JCW coupe to the R53 because I didn't want to worry about striping out the interior or mods that I'm still working on as oppose to a new car. So far I'm loving this mini. I hope to learn more on this forum as well. Thanks Marioalex
