Well after 4 months of F56 JCW ownership I can confirm I’m a mini convert, after 8 years of various Audi TT’s I wasn’t sure how I’d gel with the little mini, but I’m a true convert, it’s a cracking wee car, lots of power, great exhaust sound in sport mode, very comfortable car to drive, great infotainment set up, great handling and a lovely looking wee car.

The only thing I’d say that’s missing from my car would be the Harmon Karden sound system and a JCW Pro exhaust for more pops and bangs.

I’m sure all who own a mini aren’t surprised at the above [emoji6]

I’m a mini addict too, after 3 months ownership, mine might be a 1.4 but it’s the most fun car I have driven. Never considered a mini before until the initial test drive.

Glad you are enjoying yours.

I’m glad that you’re happy with your decision to purchase a MINI.

Since buying GP1499 in Apr ‘12 I’ve never regretted one single minute of owning a MINI.
For me personally being part of the MINI scene has changed a tad from Day One though.
It used to be 95% about owning a MINI and 5% about the shows/runs/meets and the people that I met.
I’ve said for years though that it’s now 5% - 95% the other way.

Spot on Ciderfex, I think when you get a Iconic car like the Mini you get wrapped up in the whole scene, I did not envisage when I got the Mini that I would be going to Mini at Home this Year or Mega Mini Meet, I just wanted a fun weekend car when I bought the Mini, but it's now my everyday car in the fact I love driving it!

I just bought the GP because I wanted it.
I had no idea what I was getting myself in to with the MINI Social Scene.
I’ve still got no regrets.

Tbh I expected the mini to be just an itch I’d scratch them move on to the next but just like the TT I’ve really grown to love the thing, was truly unexpected but it’s happened, as said it’s a fun car to drive, it’s addictive, I’ve already spent a small fortune swapping bits over, it ticks all the boxes so it’s a keeper for the foreseeable, just need to get along to some meets now !

Glad that you’re enjoying the car and like most of us they do win you over. I don’t think I’ve spoken to any MINI owner who hasn’t changed at least one thing to add their touch but that’s what makes them part of the family.
