PS I had to edit a stupid error. That's one of the reasons I'm bailing on blogger.

Automobile.com reviews Mini Cooper Convertible

2005 MINI Cooper S Cabriolet Road Test - Automobile.com Mini Car Review:

"If someone were to ask me if I could sum up the MINI Coopers personality in one word, a while ago I would have said fun. Now I would say rejuvenating. Rejuvenating? Yes, the MINIs personality taps into the tank of extra energy and excitement I thought I had exhausted throughout the day. It puts the smile back on my face and makes me look forward to driving no matter what the circumstances are, except maybe for rain, because then I cant go topless."

Canadian Mini Cooper Convertible review at auto123

2005 MINI Cooper S Cabriolet Road Test:

"And the street-legal, topless go-cart feels even quicker than its numbers suggest, and I love it. The feeling of my hair-blowing, the tunes blasting, and the sun shining in the MINI is pure bliss. "

My Mini Cooper Convertible is lauded by the ice guy at the gas station

The other day I had to fill up the Mini's tank and an ice delivery guy gave me the thumbs up from across the parking lot.

As I drove out, he shouted, "I'm feelin' that car. I am FEELIN' that car." I thanked him as I drove out. As I turned on to the road I heard him telling his buddy, "I am feelin' that car, man."

Required Accessory for a convertible: sunscreen

The motoring lifestyle agrees with me. The top down, sunny day, fresh air, zippy car, some good music on. Ahh, what could be better.

The Mini Cabrio is great, but sunscreen is a must. If your going to motor al fresco, slather up, pop a lid on the dome and don the shades. UV rays are not your friend.

Check out www.shadefoundation.org for some tips.
