Just wanted to post the first thread on this topic. Have an 05 Cool Blue Cabrio S and is eleven months old today. No problems at all and just as satisfying as the S2000 that I traded in.
It's nice to finally have a convertible-specific forum.
Yes. Congrats folks

Disclaimer: I do not speak for all convertible owners - anyone who wishes to be patronized, please do speak up.
Not to get this off to a bad foot ....But I could request a forum for Auto tranny owners. I would call it the "button pushers" (for the MCSa paddle shifters).

Speaking as a Cabrio owner, I think it's a great idea to have a specific forum for it. There are many Cabrio specific questions & issues and now we have a place to share them Thanks!

TRYING TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE
Hooray for cabrio owners! I have an 05 Hyper Blue MCS Cabrio. I got in 14 months ago and I'm still loving it. My wife liked it so much she got an 06 Royal Grey MC with CVT. She didn't get the cabrio because we already have one and she is going to use it for her daily driver. We traded in her SUV for the MINI. You can check out some pics of both of our cars in my gallery.
I'm so happy we have a cabrio thread. I admit to dippiing into the Cabrio thread on Mini2 for topless chatter.
This is great timing as it seems there are more and more convertibles on the road. On our Norcal-Redwood Empire run last weekend, we had at least 10% topless cars (including a topless classic!), which is small but growing percentage.
Now whoever wants to start the "new roof" thread will really get this party started! (I'm waiting for my parts to come in, on surprisingly little wear.)
I've been scanning the threads for cabrio info and it's great to have a cabrio specific forum now. I'm sooo itching to put the top down it's making me crazy !!! Can't wait for spring Cheers!

Today it's supposed to be upper 70's here in Dallas, I had the top down on the way to work, at lunch and will go topless again after work!

Here's mine - I have the top down most of the time. Except for last night - it got down to 40f!

Hey! Great new forum! I know that Donna of Donna/Mike also sold her S2000 and got a Cabrio! Very cool! 
My wife liked it so much she got an 06 Royal Grey MC with CVT. She didn't get the cabrio because we already have one and she is going to use it for her daily driver. We traded in her SUV for the MINI. You can check out some pics of both of our cars in my gallery.

I'm not paranoid. Everybody IS out to get me.
