Road Test on Mini Convertible

[-blacky-]

I found this in an email that I received to day from a fellow BMW driver ! Interesting bits about the new convertible.

Thanks Karen

Apparently Top Gear didnt like the convertible at all... called it a Metrosexual

Did anyone notice the refference to the Stumble..

I'm going to move this into the press section, but I think it would be fun to put in in faults and fixes

Top gear did like the mini convertible:
"Last year 100,000 convertibles were sold in the UK, many of which arn't anything like as much fun or as well executed as the mini" and in the editorial compared it to the carrera GT and Focus RS as inspired transport. "Top Gear" is a lads mag and is always going to take the pee out of a car like the mini, but there has not been a single bad review so far. The only criticism is that adventurous drivers should wait for the cooper S.

I think they meant the TV programme.

didn't manage to watch all last night's _i'll watch it-but they did refer to it being metrosexual in the magazine.

I thought that they had just said that so that they could slag off Richard and his shirt!!
