Here are the some pictures I took of the Interchange Yellow Convertible with the JCW Aero Kit. It was the dealership's launch vehicle.

Yes, we got to poke around one today at our local MINI dealer. Very nice car. Pricey, too.

Mine is a launch vehicle. It was even used as a back drop for the Miss Hawaii court.

 

These look great! I was not as fortunate to find one here in the states so I ordered one. I can't wait.

What kind of reaction are you getting from folks when you drive by?

 

After my most recent upgrade I'm getting more thumbs up from other Mini owners than before, and from other vehicle owners just the second or third glance back and a nod and smile.

I have to say that Interchange Yellow does stick out, so you do get noticed. It's been 1 year and 7 days since I took ownership, and I've had some interesting experiences as well as some great road trip experiences (Vegas, San Diego, Portland). Just over 19,000 miles, and around 282 hours of topless motoring and the Mini Convertible is as fun to drive as the first day we brought her home.

Also on that note, about two months ago my dealer still had their Launch Vehicle on the lot (the same one that I posted picture in this thread). They were also offering some pretty great incentives for that specific one from the lot. I just checked their web site, and it's been sold, but I have an old newsletter then sent me from 3/16/10 and they had it for $33700.

I like what you've done with it. I too have been pondering something for sides. Your stories were great. I got a good chuckle from them and I am sure the kids are 'loving life' in the back seat.

Your response got me thinking and I guess I did have a chance at one that was at my local dealer. It was actually the one that peaked my interest at the car show here. But had certain things that were not a priority and was missing things that were key to my list. It sold fairly quickly.

My wife and I vacationed out in Calf in '08 and love your state. Weather, view and food is great out that way. We did an eleven day excursion (in some other convertible) from Orange County to San Fran (up the PCH) & onto Napa. I guess I just need to take more time off and get the new MINI out there for the experience.

Cheers

 

The roads in Northern Cali are just great. Twisties like you can't imagine and roads on slides of cliffs that would scare the average out of state driver.

Other than maybe Hawaii, I think the Northern California roads are just perfect for the Mini Convertible.

 

Hey Zanary, I came across one of your other posts and loved your car, so I was trying to find other pics and landed in this thread. When I saw that first pic I thought...wait a minute...I know that dealership. I got mine at East Bay MINI too. Awesome sales team (we worked with George M.) Anyway, hello from a fellow Bay Area motorer!
