Astro Black FTW!
Alot like mine. They did not have a JCW when I was leasing. It is next!
They are a hoot to drive. Darting through traffic and parking are great. I paid just under 27 and KBB builds out that it is worth that still after one year!
29.2 mpg here in Dallas.
The first thing I did were Eibachs. They sit HIGH. PM me if you are lowering...probably a dumb question looking at your 335 mods list, I found a great price. 6'2" here too and plenty of leg room. The car does not feel so small while driving.
I am sure you are already a member, but NAM is full of info.
Hooked on Minis for life. Be careful hauling ass over dips in the road. They tend to lift you out of the seat a bit.
Change is always good IMO.
