I'm not a fan of the mini convertible and when I heard the new version was out I thought - 'what changes can they possibly make?'

However:
The roll hoops are now spring loaded and therefore sit so much lower and don't ruin the looks
They also have a roof down openometer that records the miles down when you have the roof down. Surely with S2000 drivers this should be the same for both odometers

Also I've always thought that the Cooper S used to be a supercharger but now it is a Turbo so surely it should be called a Cooper T or Cuppa T

One optional extra that caught our eye is the new 'Openometer', which records in hours the amount of time the owner has had the top down. This fits into the rev counter and will cost about

You just know that the person who though that one up has an iPhone

 

I couldn't argue with that

they still look camp when the roof is down (or up) IMHO

 

i agree. i never put the roof down on my iPhone.
