That's cool.

Looks like a contemporary Norman Rockwell.

Never thought I'd buy a copy of R.D., but I think I'll get this one. With 3 Saint Bernards in the family (and often in the MINI), this one really hits home!

I actually DID see one in person the other day. Saw it only briefly on the road. I didn't know gold was an option for a vert.

I don't think gold was ever an option for a cabrio.
Maybe they repainted it gold.

I think it was briefly...I'd have loved to see one in person because I think it would be gorgeous.

I saw a bright yellow cabrio in Rockport, Tx about 6 weeks ago. I was really sharp.

There's a gold MCC in my town, so definitely an option. They opt not to wave, though.
