New Cabrio S Owner

Hi,

We just bought a 2011 MINI Cabrio S - Spice Orange. It is our first convertible and since we live in AZ, we should get a lot of use out of it.

Are you in for fun! My first and second cars were English roadsters, the second, successful co-ed bait. She still enjoys topless motoring adventures in ours. Get lined up with a local MINI club too.

You live in a part of the world that shouts gorgeous MINI landscapes and what a color for those AZ sunsets. Expect to catch some heat for not posting pictures right off.

Oh yea, and welcome to the wonderful world of MINI.

I didn't intend to do any shoving and certainly didn't mean to put you in a blue funk over it or spoil the rest of your day. Just imagine the wind in your hair and the fun of peeling a sunburn when it finally arrives.

Congratulations from another Zonie! Beautiful car. We've enjoyed many top down hours in ours and know you'll love it too. I'll keep an eye out for you and wave if I see you. BTW, looks like we had the same sales guy at Mini North Scottsdale. Drew's a great guy.

Yes, been driving with the top down since Monday. Drew was our sales guy. Just waiting on an appointment to get the windows tinted and the clear bra.

Clear Bra

We had it on an Acura we owned and liked it, really protects the front. It also looks like I will be getting the Bonnet Stripes - black and possibly the driving lights also black.
