Yea, that looks fun. Some of the best MINI runs are in the fall in the northeast. Nice top down motoring.

. . . now I got a set of All season RF Contis 195/55/16 with only about 1360 miles on them in perfect condition, cleaned, "de-stoned", that takes too much space and I need to sale ($580+shipping - they go for $700) . . . if anyone is interested, PM me... I'm open to reasonable offers

It's getting cool in the midwest, but I managed to get the top down for a time today…

I surprised myself enjoying the top down today under the sun at 44°f (6.5°c), lowest we've drove it yet.

Diffuser Installed

I finally installed the GP2 diffuser. I really like the look and inspired by those who come before me! Also installed the under car panels for a smooth bottom. Better photos to follow.

I picked up my roadster yesterday. I took it motoring today and took a bunch of pictures, but I like this one the best.

Lyf,

I'm enjoying top-down motoring as long as the weather cooperates here in Northern Virginia. Your leaves look like they've barely turned colors, so I hope you get a chance for mucho convertible weather. I love my Roadster - I sincerely hope you enjoy your great-looking Roadster the same.

Thanks tampadave.

I live near Dallas TX so there should be a good number of days heading my way. I am looking forward to each of them.

I know you will be doing the same.

Winter makes me nervous. Just ordered Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL. Ill drive the roadster when winter weather looks good and the truck on days it might snow. Last year was Sandy and I was driving the truck by now. This year I'm going to drive the roadster as much as possible.

At long last...

Well, it was quite an adventure (long story), but I FINALLY picked up my Chili Red '14 Roadster S on 10/30/13. This is after buying a '13 Roadster S off the lot, having it returned to the factory with paint issues, then driving 3 different loaner Roadsters (blue, black and gray) while waiting for a new 2014 to be built and delivered. To their credit, the dealer (Willis in Des Moines) did whatever it took to make things right. (Many thanks, guys.) I really confused my neighbors by driving a different color Roadster every couple of weeks!
