Talking New-to-me R59

Greetings!
THANK YOU to all who post on this forum...
Your insights (the good, the bad AND the ugly) are most beneficial...

My name is Matth, and this is "BURGEE" - a new-to-me Justa Roadster (2014).

So far, the only complaints I have are:
1. That my cheeks hurt from smiling so big when I'm out motoring,
2. The yearning feeling I have when I am not out motoring,
and C. The absolute emptiness I experience when it's in the garage or when I have to park where I cant even SEE the Roadster...

I like all Roadsters the most in the Mini line, and the Coopers have a great smooth bonnet that really does look good. Nice find. Did those OZ wheels come with the car, or your add?

Congrats!

I upgraded the OEM 16" to the OZ 17" configuration and used the OEM 16"ers for my winter wheel/tire set.
its cold here in MI still, but as long as it's not raining or a blizzard, the top is down!

Top down is what this car is all about. Early Spring yet. Will get milder soon! It's 12 degrees F here now, so we definitely feel your pain!

12F is below even my limit, but it's been high teens/low twenties here this week so it's been top down for me all week!

We've had an early Spring Arctic air mass bloom this week. Was a little milder today though. We hit 30 degrees F during the mid afternoon after a low of 9 degrees this morning. Plus it wasn't as windy and gorgeously sunny all day! Improvement, even if just slight. Unfortunately, there's some snow in the forecast starting tomorrow and all kinds of mixed precipitation and snow lasting most of the coming workweek. Maybe we'll warm up some by the following week.

Last year we were already riding bicycles at this time. Each Spring always turns out to be quite unique for us in Maine. No exception this year.

Ours look like twins! Sweet rims on yours though! Still haven't thought of a nickname yet but this baby is "new/pre-loved" to me! I've never been more happier driving a car than I have with this one. All smiles!!!

A "brutha from another *****""

Can you please post a front pic?
In MI, the front license plate isn't required, but I think I like the look on a R59 Justa.... thanks in advance!
