Saw my first Roadster this morning. A black one headed east on I-264 headed toward Virginia Beach. Couldn't make out if it was an "S" or not. Looked great.

I've had mine since March, also in LA, maybe we will motor next to each other. Love those canyon roads with the top down.

I can't say that I have seen "another" roadster on the road, because I do not have one. But I do consistently see one near the Pittsburgh Airport going West on 22 in the mornings. That is the only one I have seen. Might be seeing one daily when my wife hangs up the keys to the R53, she loves the Roadster!

Saw my second one yesterday. It was at the Delaware/Maryland state line headed in the direction of Ocean City, top down and headed into a heavy rain storm. Wonder if they got the top up or got wet?

The Annapolis MINI dealer also had a red Justa Roadster that wasn't spoken for.

I have seen about a dozen here in CA. LA and SF mostly.

Audiophile, the color combo on your roadster looks super clean, you need to post some pics in the gallery!

Well. Still havent seen another Roadster.... But about 1 or 2 times a week I get..
Is that the new Abarth? OR How do you like your Fiat? OR How do you like your 500?
REALLY...... People.
The first time they asked how I liked my 500 I was confused. Is anyone else getting this?

I haven't gotten the question about it being another car.....and I still haven't seen another Roadster around town. I did, however, get HUGE compliments from the firemen when they were collecting money on the street corners last weekend for a charity. That was fun, because the lights had changed and the firemen practically stopped traffic in order to keep looking at the Roadster!

I saw my first roadster on River Rd a few miles south of New Hope PA. It was a red one that I saw coming around a sharp curve. I waved but it was very quick so I didn't get a wave back. Oh well. Nice car!!

Besides at the dealer, I am surprised I haven’t seen one in Seattle yet. I wonder if I will spot one in the wild before mine arrives.

I live in the San Diego area. Have seen three coupes, including a nice JCW black w/red&blk stripe/red ball cap. So far haven't spotted a Roadster, although a friend spotted a red one parked in a neighbors driveway last week in North County.

My baby is 2 weeks from my garage -- the Faust is steaming off the coast of Baja now, docking at Port Hueneme Tuesday the 12th! -- and I'm so preoccupied I can hardly function.

The only one I have seen is from the local club Pres at a "Coffee and Cars" get together in Lafayette, CO. I have seen a couple Coupes though...

We are supposed to pick up ours, maybe tonight. Hopefully this week. The dealership here has three they show three in inventory, so if someone wants one...

Oh, I love the comment about the Fiat500! They are neat too, just not even close and I have seen several of them out and about...

I haven't seen another one either! I keep telling myself that I'm the only Roadster in Miami.

Is anyone else here going to MINIs On Top, or will I be the only Roadster there?
