these cars are almost non existent in the verts. there are hardly any dealerships either. The nearest one to me is 30 miles away in Palm Harbor. Thats the only one on the West coast of Fl. We ended up getting the last 08 vert they are getting in. Its coming from England on or around the 25th. Ended up trading in the 06 Hyundai. we also got the standard model with auto trans. 26,200 out the door. I'll post pics when it comes in. BTW it's mellow yellow

There was a red Cooper S with some serious mods (very well done) at a recent Ford show. I pretty much decided to forget about buying a truck to replace my winter beater and started looking at a Cooper S instead. Then I saw the prices...dang! Even used, around here they are $30,000.00.

Nice!

My fiance drives a Mini S and I love that thing! I may end up getting one myself! I really want to make one that is a mini version of my Stang... I will call it, Mini Me...



But yeat, they are a lot of fun to drive and get great gas mileage!

"Mellow yellow?" Must be a Donovan reference. Sounds like a good choice. Black top?
