Howdy!

I just got my new baby the day before yesterday and I'm loving it! 2012 Mini Cooper S Convertible in Chili Red... or a 2012 R57 MCSc in CR (to use the vernacular). It's not the best time for me to be getting a convertible, since I live in the Chicago area and fall is just around the corner. I am sure I will soon be driving wearing coat, hat, and gloves with the butt warmer and heater on full blast, with the top down and a BIG GRIN ON MY FACE!

Hey carlg! which 'burb are you in? My Cabrio is a daily driver and the top goes down when there's no rain and the temp is above 50F. As long as you have a windscreen and heated seats, you're good-to-go!

Ditto!... and a hat. I wear a fitted baseball cap. Stays put and keeps cold air off my head.
