    Jim....
    Just for the record...
    If I were to buy a new F56...... It would be the Justa....
    And.... I would post pictures of it on M/A.....
    Why... Because I would be buying it for me..... Not for someone else...

    Oh..... And I would still razz you...
    Why.... Justa because...:prrr::prrr::prrr:

    Oh great, I get razzed now because I have a (R56) Justa and next I will get razzed because I'll have an (F56) "S". I seem to be out of sync here. :lol:

    Guess the 2015 will be delayed....
    MotoringFile » Archive » EPA Certification Delays Delivery of 2015 F56 MINIs in the US

    So much for a smooth introduction....
    think the NSA spying on the Germans and the Germans complaing has something to do with certification "issues"?

    They sell about 70 Mini's a year in Costa Rica! Of course mine is still the best Mini there! The cheeky dealer buggers even used a photo of my Mini to promote their cars even though they don't support me!

    I just bought a 2014 F56 base. It is a mini certified with 4 thousand miles, $4,000 off the sticker price and I really like it. I needed to replace an old grand prix. The dealer delivered it for free, a 150 mile delivery. The computer showed it got 38 mpg on the trip. It is much quicker than second gen mc's with the base engine, but slower than a second gen S.

    I chose a mini because we have a 2012 roadster S convertible, that we keep in Arizona, which I also really like.

    I'm just happy to see MINIs on the road, no matter what kind it is. The club keeps growing and we all know something other drivers don't.

    Welcome jfc, I guess that was your first post!

    I gotta say, though, this is a peculiar thread to introduce yourself.
