nice ride

 

Spiney..........looks just like mine. I pick it up this week. It's blue with the silver stripes and the JCW package.

 

MsBrit.

Wow, 5 thats sweet, I just ordered mine Monday, and i am on number 4 and it feels The same as when I ordered my first one way back in 2002,

 

I put money down on Feb. 27. I'm still waiting for a production slot Dealer thinks that perhaps it is being held up, waiting for a few more JCW's, who knows.
This is the build.

 

Nice choice!
It will be interesting to see how many others trade in the mid 2000 cabriolets for the new roadster.

 

Can't wait to see pictures. It's nearly 70 degrees and bright sunshine here today, wish I had mine now...

 

We are keeping my wife's 2006 cabriolet and we pick up the new roadster this week!

 

Yes it will. I know I will be leaving my Cabrio for the new Roadster, which I have really enjoyed. I suspect Mini will see a lot of this.

For me, the Roadster makes a lot of sense. I never found the rear seats of the Cabrio very practical, trunk even more so. The new packaging of the Roadster, coupled with the way it looks...done deal I'm trading in the rear seats for a usable trunk, gaining a much more solid driving platform

-Steven

 

Not to mention that you will look a lot meaner driving a Roadster than a Cabrio.

 

LOL...definitely right about that! I spent a lot of money making my Cabrio look less cute...man I hated it when people said "what a cute car"

 

I agree with all of the above....the Roadster does look "less cute" haha

FYI, mine is now on the Toscana headed for Baltimore....ETA in Baltimore is 3/30. :-)

 

Put a deposit and order in Friday. No production slot at this time so we are in the order bank. Will be patiently waiting for what will be our seventh MINI.

Congrats 2Miniacs, hope you get a production slot soon. !

 

This is what I love about MINIs. This car is very like the one I ordered, but it's not exactly the same. Every one is subtly different. It's great!

 

You're right...it is a very cool part of this cars culture

Hi all - I live in Kent, England (about 2 hours from Plant Oxford) and have just ordered a Cooper S Roadster.

Don't know the differences between US & UK roadsters apart from we get the semi-auto roof as standard, you can't get the manual roof here.

Guess i,m the only one in love with the reef blue

 

I have "ants in my pants"!! Today is my estimated delivery date!! Maybe tomorrow, surely by Saturday! Eclipse grey, black lounge leather.....woo-hoo!!!

 

I went back and forth for a while but finally settled on the Lightning, mainly because the dealer had a coupe in that colour, I was happy with how it looked, and I didn't want to risk not being happy with Reef when it finally arrived.

 

Nice build David, I see it's your first post...welcome!

-Steven

 

David, congratulations on your order!

Very close in looks to my car. Kudos on your excellent taste!

I'm curious about a couple features that don't seem to be offered in the states (or if they are, it's by a different name).

Extended Storage
Extended Interior Light Package

Don

 

I think extended storage is probably the compartment in the dash above the glovebox, and the interior light package is the colour-adjustable lights. I think both are standard on at least S's for the US.

 

Go figure guess thats the whole You-if-i-cation.
funny my fiance thought i was nuts picking the reef blue. i just couldn't picture me driving it in any other colour. was willing to give up some of the options to keep within my budget but wasn't giving up the blue.

 

Hey if it helps I like Reef Blue
