Very interesting! I have to say I think this is one of the best looking MINIs available.Just saw this just in case anyone is/was curious about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgdLP...eature=related
If I didn't like mine so much with all its 'extra' bits, I'd be very sorely tempted... like I said before - don't need 4 seats, and I like the handy big boot!Wonder who'll be first to get stuck in the 'catflap'?
ps Re. The bit in the video where it says "Depress the Roof Button" - do you show it an episode of 'River City'?

Interesting the car I was in today had the button but the engine was off when I put down the roof or should I say fight with the roof. It popped open like in the clip with the twist no problem then I felt I was fighting all the way back. I did say to the girl this does not have the motorised hood and she just looked and apologised saying she did not know…
I wonder if it did now and I was fighting a motorised mechanism to get it down. Not to sound sexist but the girls would find it a bit much if you ask me although I expect it would free up with time and use. But When its a 90% Elec hood it looks like it will be fine.

Electric roofs are on March production cars only, dealers are awaiting their demo cars to arrive later this month with the semi automatic roofs.
Eastern have a JCW on order and should get it later this month.
From Factory JCW to Audi TT Quattro - Might be back one day!
Aaaaaa right Baz cheers for the info, I'd not get one without the power hood then. In the clip it looks great flipping the hood down on the move but its not so great when you have to turn and throw it back with a bit of effort!
I don’t know what my local dealer is playing at I think they have had a new Girl in sales the last few times I’ve been in are they expecting a mad rush….think I was on girl number three today but she did apologise saying she had just started...
just away to change my name to Robbin Banks!

Been bit of a shambolic launch all over, to be honest. Trying to find a Roadster with a manual stick in JCW/Cooper S to test drive is difficult.
Dealerships we have been to all have the same, if they do have one with a stick its a showroom only car
Should improve once the actual demo cars are delivered and the Pre-production ones go.

Well the one at HF was ready to roll in a Manual in the Cooper S.
Considering this is there new model I actually walked past it thinking it was a Coupe as it was just parked on the Second hand lot. thought they would have it sitting Hood down only in the Showroom. When I said do you have a Roadster the girl gave another girl a call ( yes I know but HF now have this pointless matradee like system now with a girl standing at chest high wee work area) you can see the blooming person she calls sitting at a table at the end.
Girl offered a test drive, but I was just in on the passing and just wanted a look.

So they don't all come with the 'Powered' roof? Or am I missing something here
Wouldn't mind the wee handle and depressedIf so, like an asthmatic Hoover - it sucks slightly.
