New Mini Roadster

Don't want to put anyone off but Mini (BMW) are no longer making the Roadster.

They didn't sell enough so it's been pulled.

My way of thinking exactly!!

It was a tough decision at the time. Either a brand new Boxster S. Or evoque dynamic.
SWMBO won in the end. But no regrets!
We even thought about stretching to a RRS. but came to the conclusion that we could have best of both worlds.
Brand new Evoque and used Boxster S. Which I am currently looking into!

Have you driven one Tim?
Phenomenal fun. And handling to die for!
We had a Mini Cooper S a few years back. Wouldn't have another thrown at me !!

Never driven a Porsche of any sort, I'm sorry to all but they just don't appeal to me. I ran a TVR SEAC for two years and after that a Boxter would be a huge let down.............. but I would be very happy to own a Jaguar F type in either convertable or Coupe form and with the V6S engine, although the V8 would be nice. Had I not changed as quickly as I did (I was expecting to be told I would have a 5 month wait for the RRS) then the new AWD F Type would have been on my list of replacements for the Evoque

I know what the Cayman S is like, my son drives one, nearly got one myself earlier this year, fortunately for me the Porsche dealer had a Z4, 3.5i Roadster, I bought that instead, never been happier, IMO it beats the Porsche.

What's even better is that we have had some cracking weather and have had the roof down on many occasions.
