You can find lots of information at Bridger.us/mini - here's a link to the site.

The 2005 model year cars will be available around July or August of next year.

Yeah, that is sort of goofy. It would have been nicer if the antenna was integrated into the windshield, like the new VW Bug Cabrio.

I saw a VW bug convertible last night. I hate to say if but to me the bug makes a lot better convertible than the MINI. The bug looked great even with the top up.

I tried to find some pics that showed a better shot of the back of the convertable. Is the back window glass or plastic?

In 2000 I owned a M Roadster that had the plastic covering for the window, and it was a major pain in the rear to keep clear. I had to use a paste type cleaner on the plastic to keep it clear and from cracking.

I hope BMW doesn't chump out and use plastic
