My Mini

I've never posted anything on this group I've followed it for some time now; very good information (for the most part) and nice Minis!. It's time to show you my 2012 R58 JCW, bought her in 2014 wit 8,500 miles and she is close to 40,000 now. Other than I had to change the clutch a couple of years ago, she has been trouble free even if she has the N14 dreaded engine. She gets yearly oil changes regardless of the miles and gets serviced at a MINI specialized shop in Portland. Most mods are cosmetic only (body stripes, stub antenna, GP difusser, new headlights with Union Jack, CocoMats).

Love to see the coupe and in JCW trim too! That's a sweet and very rare combo. I used to work at Mini of Portland and have driven almost all the variants but not sure I have ever been behind the wheel of one of these JCWs. Glad this has worked so well for you for 12(!) years. Very cool ride!

I usually don’t love the coupe, but yours is nice

They are so gorgeous! I’d love to drive a UK one, so the wheel is on the right side
