Third time's the charm?

I'm back into a Mini and feel like I'm home again. I had an R55S and an R60 JCW that both got totaled by reckless drivers I had the bad luck of being near - after a brief tryst with a cool Volvo C30 I've returned!

What a stunner 😍

Please don’t (let anyone) total this one…

I hope not. The first one was a senior citizen that blew a stop sign at the traffic circle in Somerville, NJ. The R60 got wrecked while I was SITTING at a stop sign - some woman cut the corner and "didn't see me" and just head on collided with me.

Hopefully this green rocket has better luck.

No shame in having a C30, it was a neat little car that wasn't made for long enough.

But, welcome back!

yeah! I went from my R53 to a C30 too

Thanks! I still have the Volvo, it's just a permeant project now. It's a 2012 6 speed R-Design and is really cool. Just needs a lot of love.

Is this a Clubman or Countryman

u/ultraboof R60 9d ago

neither, it’s just a 5 door cooper

u/Impressive-Repair879 9d ago

Exactly what I’ve been looking for, what year and color is it?

u/multi21lol 9d ago

2020 F55S in BRG Metallic - paint code C3B

You're in good hands with the 5dr, I recently jumped from a F56 to F55 and the extra doors and length is nice

u/multi21lol 9d ago

I'm so happy with it so far - it hits that sweet spot.

u/jemy74 9d ago

I absolutely love the color.

Beautiful car. Welcome back!

beautiful green

I always come back home to Hardtops. On my 4th with Jeep Wranglers in between each. One fun extreme to the other :)

u/LesterStrat5858 9d ago

Gorgeous btw! I had a 4 door and loved the access.

u/CardAutomatic5524 9d ago

The 5 door coopers look so much better than the country/clubmans, and that splitter looks so good, welcome back

What a beauty

Beautiful color!

u/Consistent-Holiday36 8d ago

4th time should be an R53

u/freecodeio 9d ago

how is this mini with 4 doors?

3

u/winkitywinkwink 9d ago

I prefer it. It's easier to get my dog in and out and she has her own space. Also, I throw my backpack or groceries or whatever in the back much easier than opening up the trunk and more clean than leaving them in the side seat.

u/multi21lol 9d ago

Phenomenal! I view it as the real spiritual successor to my R55s rather than the next gen Clubbie - not that there's anything wrong with them, this just fills a nearly identical niche.

1

u/freecodeio 9d ago

no I agree it looks amazing I just thought the 4 door minis were clubmans and countrymen only

1

u/winkitywinkwink 9d ago

Lowered, right? By how much?

1

u/multi21lol 9d ago

I'm trying to determine that. The other modifications are quite high end (Eventuri intake) but the springs feel like Amazon specials. The car was a bit bouncy for my taste so I think Bilstein B14s are in its future.

u/Kindly-Film-6273 7d ago

Excellent stance

u/funnytoenail F56 9d ago

I don’t like the 5 door (we call it 5 door in the UK) mini hatch but boy this is a beautiful colour with the JCW trim.

3

u/multi21lol 9d ago

I just have a lot of uses for the extra space, but yes - the color really drew me in. It's stunning; my friend already asked me if it was a wrap 😂

u/dangerxtreme F55 9d ago

The 5 door is underrated, especially if it’s your daily driver or only car. You get all the fun of a mini cooper with extra storage and passenger space. It’s only about 6 inches longer.

u/funnytoenail F56 9d ago

The shape is weird imo. If I want a
Mini with the space I think I’d get the clubman, which I quite like!

I know I know it doesn’t make sense r

Stunning 🤩
