I am crazy, but I miss the convertible

I got a GREAT deal on a 2012 Coupe 2 years ago. JCW with only 2K miles on it. Now I have 13K miles, and am looking pretty hard at a new 2015 JCW Roadster. Am I nuts? I can transfer my DDM works Intake and my fancy JCW black wheels over... mats... Oh, it is SO tempting!! the bad side is I will probably have to finance a gap of about $20K!!!

So... MINI friends... am I nuts?

I don't mean to over simplify but if it's what you want, do it if it won't put you in a bad financial fix. The worst thing that will happen is you will make a mistake and if you do it will be part of history someday. So many cars, so little time!

Only three reasons to run up the top. It's raining, it's snowing or some idiots are throwing empty beer cans in the back seat. Co-pilots whining louder than the Supercharger is another sound reason but you won't have.to worry about that.
Topless motoring is motoring at its best.
