My wife told me yesterday evening that when she was driving home from work she spotted a '05 Cooper Cabrio (Hot orange metallic) driving on the lane next to hers (She has a '02 Cooper) along US1 in Miami. She really liked the car and it had New Jersey plates and 2 very young dudes in the interior. Looked like they were heading towards the Coconut Grove section of town.</p> <p>Very cool!</p> Hey JAG, I'll take that back.

I see it everyday. Metallic Orange with black top, looks very cool, also saw the new interior. I am tempted to get one!!</p> Well, if they have only 5 there is one here in Miami since early June with New Jersey plates. I see it everyday.

She was really cool to talk to - I think the one at MOT was one of the BRG's that was outside at the NY auto Show. There was another BRG inside at the NY auto show.</p> According to Giselle (MINIUsa), the car at MOT was one of about 5 in the USA.
