I am very jealous. We are in southern France and I am driving a rented Toyota hybrid. It would be much more fun to be driving a Mini Roadster on the backroads of Provence.

Is that a boost gauge to the right of the tach?

Great looking car! Where is the car show? The last photo almost looks like Berlin...

Congrats!!

Very nice, a good pair of MINIs to own and drive in Europe, next trip to France I will see if I can rent a Roadster in Paris for my trip down to the South East area.

Great pictures, makes me want to get on the plane today.

sure ! pictures will be done ! but in France we have very bad weather for the moment !

I ask 3D Design for the Carbon Trunk spoiler but the price plus the shipping is very expensive so I have to wait until someone will sell it in Europe.

Yeah I saw Europe is having a really hard winter...not really conducive to top down motoring What about sourcing the 3D spoiler through IND in the states? I know they ship all over the world.

I see, I'm surprised no one is distributing them in Europe. Have you checked in England?
