Yes, it's not bad.

Sorry, didn't mean to make you feel bad. There's plenty who have probably not seen it before.

Never mind - its the first time I've seen it. I went into the dealers the other day and they've a new brochure out. It has a MINI shown with a soft folding roof - you know, the kind that folds back in place of the sunroof.

First time I have seen it.

Looks like the pedal car I had as a little kid.

Not my cup of tea. The MINI simply doesn't look good without a solid roof.

I LOVE it; that's EXACTLY the car that I want. Though, of course, they won't build it without a full windshield.

And it sounds like MINI is more interested in building a four-seat soft-top, which I think is too bad. I really want a two-seater and some storage space. A folding hard top would make it irresistable.

that is only an artists impression...not the real one!

Good grief, I don't like convertibles and the MINI doesn't look the part with a soft top.

Instead of building silly rag tops, why doesn't BMW concentrate in releasing the MINI "Traveller" version instead?

A mate of mine said it looked like a squashed MG, but I reckon that's only because of the angle of it...

I think it looks great. I love it

but the real one is a bit different to that one.

guys this is so much nicer than the real convertable which is shown as spy shots in this weeks Auto Express would snap up the two seater but will deffinetly not buy the soft top boo hoo i thought they would have been more adventurous.
