Highgate Owners - You out there?
I purchased my second Mini Cooper about a month ago. I traded my 2009 Mini Cooper Clubman for a 2012 Mini Cooper Convertible Highgate. I love it! I just wanted to say hello to any other Highgate owners out there.
Are you loving your car as much as I am loving mine?

Central NJ. I went from a '09 to a '12...only 3 years so the spouse was not happy, but I fell in love with the Highgate the moment I laid eyes on it!

I had the armrest installed as well. Plus rubber floor mats and boot cover. And I added a holder for my iPhone because I use the Garmin GPS App.
Do you have the bonnet stripes?

Yeah, so do I!! I have had the car for about six weeks and I have almost 3K! I cannot help it, I love to put the top down and go! I used to commute to work by train but I have found myself driving every since I got the car!! My husband made me promise that in September I would get back on the train!

My Highgate S landed at Brunswick on the 16th, so I'm hoping for delivery this week. I did opt for the bonnet stripes, even though I'm not really a stripe-type. The stripes are subtle and nicely link the interior to the exterior, so I think of them more as a design element than a racing accoutrement.
Thanks for starting this thread, MMKV! It's nice to connect w/ others who were also captivated by this edition.

Quick update: I picked up my Highgate last night. Of course, I was always taken with this model, but the more time I spend with it, the more I appreciate it.
The inside finish is solid and beautiful, especially the slightly optical effect of the sun-touched alloy.
The iced chocolate exterior is like a medallion of cool, crisp, very dark chocolate, breaking against the teeth and melting upon the tongue.
This is a car you wear like a beautifully tailored coat. It doesn't matter what else you're wearing (or not wearing): arriving in it, you're perfectly presentable. And, more likely than not, elated.

I just have to say: after having my Highgate for the past three weeks, I'm more in love with it every day. The finish inside is tight, buff, lovely. I have the 6-speed manual (S model), and it is truly a joy. Buying this car is one of the best things I've done.
Future Highgate owners, hang on. You'll be SO glad.

I just signed on the dotted line for a Highgate S Convertible. It's in production and I hope to have it around the beginning of November. Such an awesome looking car. I was actually thinking of ordering one by my own design, and waiting it out. I had built a red one with cloth/leather interior. Very cool. But I hated to wait that long, so I asked the dealer to see what they could find in a Convertable S. They told me they had the Highgate in production. I never thougt I would every have a brown car, but this is the baddest thing on four wheels. I can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Love the combination of brown and light blue.
