My Roadster arrived on a carrier last night. Too bad, here in NH too cold to drive with out heated seats.

 

Congrats on the new R59 JCW, have that same color and most of the same options on my R58 JCW. Looks like you have the red piped seats also. Very nice.

 

DO you have a list of mods / Tunes you are running on your car? Mine is currently stock, but wont stay that way for long.

No Tune?

Do you have picture of your interior with the good wood installed?

Thanks!

 

Might have something on it soon, will post up and update when that done.

You can see it in this bently book ad we did: its the best wood grain I have seen in any car except the rolls royce it also comes in.

if you are not experienced in the ownership of 'rag tops'

I would caution on dropping the top when the temps are COLD ....

driving with the heat blasting and the bun warmers on sounds like fun BUT

a 'vert top has a lot of plastic bits in it .... even a quality fabric top like the MINI's. Some of those plastic parts don't flex quite as well when COLD.

THEY CRACK or break .....

Got my first rag top in 72 (a 66 Mustang) and have had a drop top in the garage most of the time since then.

Wait 'til things warm up a bit ..... don't break nuthin'

p.s.

here's the English Oak on a GEN2 b4 MINI cheapened it. When I bought it, you got the steering wheel and the shift **** too. No extra charge. $300 got it all



BRG, tan leather and wood interior. Went to the dealer to order something else and this was mentioned as on order and available. Ya gotta admit, it is a classic combination.

 

Good looking Roadster. Must be nice not having to answer questions about whether or not the top comes off like us R58 owners lol.

 

Yea, the R58 crew get the "will the top come off" every time i take my R58 out.
