Haven't had time to update my profile or gallery or anything but I traded my 2002 Launch Edition IndiBlue/White Cooper for a 2005 HyperBlue/Blue Cabrio this morning! I have a set of wheels in the back seat with bags whipping in the wind so it isn't ideal yet but I'm having a blast anyways. Will be good to drop off the wheels tonight...
Premium package, MFSW, HK stereo, heated seats, front/rear fogs, interior chrome, interior HyperBlue. I love it!

Good choice, nice to see you move up. We just sold our 2002 Cooper, still have the 2003 MCS and am on a list for the 2006 GP, will decide on that when the final spec and price comes out.
Thanks, everyone. Just a few more hours until the end of the verkday...

The weather's been terrible really, though not too cold so I shouldn't really complain. This morning I headed out to work, in the snow, with the top down (should have put the windows down for the picture):
If the sun ever shines, I'll take a better one.

It's cold but for us, this has been a mild January so I've been lucky. I've only driven it with the roof closed on two days since I got it, once when I had tyres in bags in the rear seats and the flapping sound was driving me mad and another day when it was just too cold, -9C or so. I've even driven it in the rain which works fine as long as I'm moving and there isn't a cross-wind.
Whenever I have passengers I warn them beforehand that they'll have to bring their own hat (BYOH)! No complaints so far
I love it! I'm in love with MINI all over again
Yours both look great too! Love them topless!

Took a better image a few days ago. Need to bring a tripod so I can get into the shot myself.

Thanks! They haven't sent me a contract yet actually but I'm fulfilling it in spirit.
Was topless again today, -2 this morning on the way in to work but comfortable with the sun up. Was only -0.5 this evening but was cooler on the way home with the sun already down.
I get some curious looks and fun things like people dancing at bus stops while I'm stopped at traffic lights, leaving the music loud on the HK Most think I'm nuts but I'm having a blast with this mild January we're having (for here anyways).

The contract I'm talking about is an actual document, it's all just for fun, but it looks very real. Here in Vegas, the dealer showed it to me and I was laughing hysterically, they actually make people sign it. I think you can see it on the www.miniusa.com website - just build a convertible. It's cute.
Maybe I should consider a convertible, it's cold here now as well (but not NEAR as cold as over there!) and I drive around with my sunroof and windows wide open, day or night. But I love my baby too much to trade her in...
Get those people dancing, life is too short and if they can't have their own MINI to enjoy it, glad you're sharing yours!!!
