A couple of nights ago I posted that a John Works Mini convertible was uncertain. One of the more interesting pieces of auto news I got today at the D.C Auto Show is that the 207 HP John Works package is now available for both the hatchback AND convertible. First you buy either a hatchback or convertible Cooper S, then the $7000 John Works package is added at the dealerships. It gives a revised wheel, tire, and suspension package, bumps the HP to 207, adds individual twin driving lights to the grille, moves the speedometer to the steering wheel column with the tach, fills the center of the dash where the speedo formerly was with other engine gauges, and chrome-plates more of the interior and dash. It really adds not only more go but a lot of show with it, too. Now the good news.....ALL of this comes with a full factory Mini / BMW warranty, too.
Of course, by the time you buy all this stuff, you're talking around 30K total (or more).....a lot to pay or a car this size.

I agree that it wouldn't be my first choice either. For one thing, the ride is way too stiff for my tastes. (So is the Miata's that you menton). But...you have to remember that this car has got a cult-like core of really dedicated followers. There are people who practically worship it. I posted this primarily for them....and anyone else interested in the car. For THEM.....it's four thumbs UP
