Thumbs down Saw a Mini Cabriolet Tuesday - Very Disappointing

I was driving through Henley on Thames on Tuesday evening and saw a dark blue Cabriolet with the roof up. I have to say it didnt look good, IMHO it looked like a poor mans Skoda Cabriolet from the early 90's. I guess it will look better with the roof down bur hey in the UK roof will be up 75%+ of the time.

when you get to sit in one and play with it, check out the quality, thats when you really learn to love it and appreciate it
