Hey guys, just wanted to stop by an introduce my self. My name is Marco and I recently (6 months) purchased my first Mini Cooper. it is an '09 Mini Cooper Hardtop JCW edition. All factory JCW nothing mod. Well, i fell in love with the drive and the performance and how exciting it is driving a grown up version of a childhood memory (go-cart). 70% of the time i drive with my windows down just to feel the rush of the wind. I've already done my first maintenance/service on it and boy i have to say "it wasn't cheap." There are a few little issues that are coming up, but i believe its due to the normal usage. (i'll post my concerns on a different form or if ya want to know here let me know i'll be glad to post it here. Could use the help). In the end i love my JCW and plan to have it far more after im done paying it off.
Outstanding!! Love the JCW! Same here 2 weeks ago picked up 09 JCW hardtop and I couldn't be more happy. Welcome to MA!
