You can work around it though. When I had my MINI a now defunt company sold roll up shades you put between your pull cover and the glass and it made it night and day. fast forward a few years and when I got my A3, I went to home depot and got the same material (Mylar) and cut them to fit my dual sunroofs. Now I have both coolness in the summer and can open them wide in the winter (or whenever I choose). On rainy days I pop the cover out of the back sunroof because my 2 year old daughter loves to see the rain hit the roof.Originally Posted by Neverfifty
Thanks for the input! I was there last year for the month of August and the sun bothered me so much, this was a big decision because I have had one on my the last 2 MINI's.

Can't wait to see the price on the JCW Countryman ALL4. I was thinking it going to be about $35k. But I want one so :-)

It's going to be North of that for sure. A well equipped All4 can easilybe 35, throw on the tune, upgrades and aero package and 45 might not be out of possibilityOriginally Posted by CZ Mate

Yup. Mine was just under 40k and it's not even a JCW. To get an idea, I priced out a Hardtop, then optioned out a hardtop JCW with the same options to see the price difference. Then added that percentage to my CM build. It came out to 48k, if I'm not mistaken.Originally Posted by Mojito

I was talking base price :-) my All4 I built was only $31-32k :-D wish you could the recaro seats for the countryman, than mine would be $34-35k

Never realized how well the labels on my wife's bike's forks matched the colour-scheme on our car...

haha...i was going to suggest that but i thought a $50 jersey was a little more realistic than the $12,000 pinarello
DO IT!

Having a little fun in SF.


Not bad for doing a lot of 75-80, and a lot of unforeseen traffic.

Saw tons on MINIs in SF, but no CMs. In the suburbs though, that was another story. Saw an easy 10-15 a day.
And this little guy was in the Danville parade

Having spent most of my life driving across the GG Bridge that would more accurately be called a marine Layer of coastal fog hugging the coast. Driving through it with your sunroof open is always a blast unless it gets too cold - in July! Originally Posted by bentyyc

That's why you need the auto climate control and heated seats for the summer around here. It can be over 100 when I leave the office and barely 60 when I get home 25 miles later.Originally Posted by starman
