Default So long to our two tc's

After my wife and I haveing our two RS 3.0 tC's for the last 5 1/2 years we let both of them go so we can start on new projects. My wife went with the small family vehicle and got a 2013 Mini Countryman S All4.

Me on the other hand wanted something with more HP then the tc so after looking around at my options in the UK since i'm stationed over hear I decided to go with a 2013 Mustang GT 6SP manual. I've wanted a Mustang for a long time so i got one. Only options i added was brembo Brake kit, louvers, side scoops, and rear spoiler.

So I'll be getting some things up for sale as soon as I get the chance to take pictures. I'll miss the car shows and all the scion community as they have been a blast to hang with.

How is the suspension in the 5.0? I just drove my friend's v6 and i was impressed with everything...well except the handling. Does the GT model have upgraded suspension? THE COLOR JUST SCREAMS "PULL ME OVER!! PULL ME OVER!!" the minis is my all time favorite car so your wife is getting two thumbs up

The suspension needs some work but it is better then the v6. I got the brembo brake kit on mine so it has a stiffer setup but again I still think it needs some work. The color does scream but it stands out and I have plans to do a satin black strips and so on with it. The mini is the weekend family car for the trips. love both but I do miss the back room in the TC.

I must be in the minority, I hate that color. Hate hate hate. I like the grabber blue. I like the mini, love the JCW's... but for the extra 33% cost of the package, would never support John Cooper.

Congrats on the 2 new cars! I got rid of my tc so I could get something with a 9k rpm limit myself (my other ride redlines at 12,000 rpms - lol)

Stay safe in your overseas job, and watch out for mingers over there man
