    Had my Cooper S up to the dealer on Wednesday to fix an issue with the sunroof (stuck open) and while I was waiting wandered in to the showroom. Took a good look at the new Coupe they had.

    I guess it's OK, didn't care for how cramped the interior felt - it was definitely lacking all the usefulness that I bought my MINI for. Other than that it was typical MINI Cooper!

    I have a couple pics out on yfrog, but can't seem to get the link to work here. Don't have time to fiddle with it right now, so if you go to yfrog and look for my profile (under "don_zielke") you can find them.

    On the other hand....

    I saw the same Justa Coup-ester at the same time. I like it even more now and am plotting on how to come up with the cash to put one in front of my house. Just not a Justa Coup-ester, it needs to be at least an S.

    It really is funny how the same item looks to different people. This is a good thing and makes the world go round. Hope to see it at MOTD 10 Nathan. :Thumbsup:

    I think if it had one of them fleaBay electric superchargers it would be about right. :cornut:

    Seeing it in person made me like it. I was unsure until I saw it in the flesh. Well not in the flesh I kept my pants on. :eek:
