HI all,

I thought I should probably try and be a bit more active on these forums since I've been a member for a while but not really posted much. I previously owned a modified R56 Cooper S which was one of the most unreliable cars I have ever owned which you would think would put me off Minis for life. So what did I do? I went and bought an F56 JCW.

I've gone for Lapis Luxury Blue with the red roof mirrors. I never thought I would own a mini with stripes but I think they look rather good on this car. I've had the car for a couple of weeks now and I must say that the F56 is a massive step up in quality from the last one. It feels a lot more refined to drive and the quality of the interior is night and day from the R56.

Would be good to hear from other JCW owners as well on what you think of the new one.

Nice colour combo, did you go for a manual or auto?

I went for the manual. I thought about the auto, purely for launch control but I love the feel of a manual too much.
