Can't wait to see it in person. . .

Enjoy Mike. . .pictures look great!

Cooper makes Coopers. However, BMW owns Cooper now.

i think the car looks awesome and for it's price i wouldn't get anything else....my only fear is that everyone and their grandmother is going to want one and the streets will be flooded with them.

looks cool but they need a shorter shifter for that unless that's like something traditional.

Weight of this vehicle? I'm guessing it's pretty quick if it's around the low 2000 lbs area. b16 hatch anyone?

I've had the new mini on my list of possible new cars next year. The only problem is, the nearest mini dealer to here is over 500 miles away. There are a lot of really neat new small cars coming out in the next year.

How much! I had one over in the UK! I loved it! I miss that little car. Boy was it fun going around round abouts at 75. They stick like glue.
