Yes it's sure to have hairdressers around the world jumping for joy!

:withstupid:



It looks like a pram! And not in a nice way either.

Keep going eventually someone will bite :cry:

I get it. You don't like them. I vaguely got the point when I 1st joined up. Considering I've not been here much more than a year I think most other people have got it too. You don't need to re-iterate it at every possible moment to assert your position on this forum...

wasn't the bini convertible one of a few cars you couldn't do your driving test in because of this


No it was because there isn't enough visibility with the roof up, not with it down. Considering that it is permitted to sit the driving test in a Countache, the visibility must be terrible in a Mini Cooper Convertible.

As Minili says, the boot and the roof are pretty much unchanged from the previous model.

I cannot believe however that this car was a warning lamp to tell you the roof is down. That has got to be the most pointless government required junk ever installed and must surely be for the American market.

I dunno about this. This is the first I have heard of such an annoying device. I don't think any American autos have this.

Oh the penny finally dropped?

But I need to re-iterate it as it's a free country and this is a Mini forum.

I like it a little bit more than the last model but I'd still rather drink anti-freeze than be seen driving one! :D

just noticed the re-introduction of the strings on the boot-lid :D


Loks like they go in to a little winding cassette thingy, could there actually be something worth knicking or copying for your real Mini :w00t:
