Massachusetts Mini 05 MCS Cabrio

Hi folks,
Took my wife for her first top-down ride in our newly acquired orange 05 MCS convertible. Beautiful day here in New England: sunny and low 60s. Drove west and north to a nice sea-food restaurant in New Hampshire for lunch. My wife expressed much enjoyment about the outing and the Mini. It reminded her of our younger days going on rides on my GoldWing. We're going on our first club ride with Granite State Minis this Saturday. Life is good!

Well done! Topless motoring is motoring at its best. Be sure to visit ebay and the FS: posts for a wind deflector. You won't believe the difference it makes in the overall cabin sound level at speed.
Enjoy the heck out of it. We've logged thousands of topless road trip miles and look forward to many more.

Congrats, I have the same Hot Orange but in a Cooper. I have those wheels also. Nice to see you have the sunrise interior (Rare) option also.

I've always said, you will remember your first topless ride, male or female.

Just remember to:

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.
