Who Says A MINI Convertible is a “Girls Car”?
A lot of people, or so it would seem. And what’s wrong with that? When people start calling a car “girly” it’s usually because it’s a small car (because girls cant drive bigger cars, or so these people seem to think?!) or because it’s a good looking car. The MINI is both, so was almost bound to be labeled a fashion item, a girly car, a cute car. Well,
from day one MINI has tried to fight this soft edged reputation by offering performance, and certainly handling characteristics, that can put many more “manly” vehicles to shame.

Overall the reaction (while not huge) was generally disapproving, we certainly didn’t like the idea…

MINI UK’s “Unusual” Adverts Now Online, on MINI2!
MINI UK recently came up trumps with the aid of the extremely alented Russ Swift when their “MINI Open Air Theatre” wowed the crowed at the International Motor Show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. The show has been followed up with a series of commercials and billboards all following along the “Open Air Theatre” theme.
Over 1,700 Miles of Open Top Motoring.
When MINI2 were offered the chance to drive a MINI Convertible from Seville in Spain home to Buckinghamshire in the UK, we of course leapt at the chance! 1,700 miles later we had returned home, a little dusty, but all the better for the experience. The purpose of the trip was, of course, to become accustomed to the MINI Convertible to enable us to write an in depth report of our experience, and if you want to learn just what a car is like to live with, taking this journey, on toll roads, country lanes, through small back roads, over and around mountains, and around the centre of some of the busiest cities in Europe is very hard to beat!
