Good show, old man! However, I'm afraid to say that with the top either up or down, something about the Mini look is lost in translation. I'll bet it will be a gas to drive
around with the top down though.
From the pictures, I just noticed the mis-match in the interior trim.
The interior trim appears to be Anthracite, but the trim on the 3-spoke is silver!?
I know on 04s and earlier cars there are other bits and pieces that are silver when you order anthracite, but in the convertible those pieces appear to be chrome. Therefore there appears to be a mix of anthracite, silver, and chrome pieces throughout the interior....... I thought that is a bit weird.
not bad looking although that orange leaves something to be desired in my opinion. can't wait to get over there, i should be going tuesday or wednesday! yay!
I like the orange, liked it the first time I saw it!
Though I agree that the Cabrio doesn't have that special MINI look!
Nice pics, thanks for sharing!

Dennis,
We need to plan a leave time for next weekend. I might join you at the show again but it depends on how much work I get done with my friend on Saturday.
P.s. New Suspension goes on this week :smile:

hmmm......looks like the VW Cabrio, hope JC isn't turning over in the grave with this redention, guess daddy will spring for it for the high school chicks like the cabrio, maybe a new market :smile:
Thanks for the many pictures. We will have to wait and see what the MINI cabrio looks like in person.
Meanwhile steer clear of student drivers- Like this one

Have you seen it in person?
I saw it at Detroit and I liked it a lot better when I saw it in person.

Perhaps you're right and I would like the new Cobra better in person. The pictures look like they lost the look that made the original Cobra look as fast sitting still as it actually was......but maybe not.
On the other hand, the pictures of the new Mustang look great. Was it at the show also?
what's the deal with the element (i think?) on the 2nd link at the very end..
D- is that the element you bought?
do i detect low profiles on an element.. if so.. might that be strange on a car that seems to be geared towards rugged use and offroad nonsense.. (discernable by the tent attachment sold by dealers )
May be coming back to the MINI party! :)
