streets. 10 MINI Convertibles were sold in the month of August.
<p>Thanks Bill!</p>
<p>WOW. 1,827 MINI's in all of Canada? That makes the MINI as exclusive as a Ferrari perhaps. At least, in the sense that you won't see one driving down every street corner. That is way cool.</p>
<p>In my City of 700,000, with a total population of over 1 million with the surrounding bedroom communities, I see very few MINI's.
They are rarer than hen's teeth, as the saying goes.
I find this strange, when a BMW 3-series can be found on every block, they seem as common as Fords.
It certainly lends an air of exclusivity to my Cooper – I have only seen about 10 different MINI's around here!
(nearest dealer is 3 hour drive)
The kids here especially like the MINI – it's like you're driving in a Porsche!</p>
<p>Supposedly when I took delivery of my MINI S two weeks ago it was the first Hyper Blue in Toronto. I'm sure i'll have a fit when the first time I see another one. Still, even in this huge city MINIs are relatively uncommon. BMW 3-series? They're as common as Corollas in this town!</p>
<p>That's awesome! MINIs seem to be still a rare little car around Calgary… MINI Crowfoot sells to all of Alberta, so not to many in any given spot around Cow Town!</p>
<p>214! I feel so exclusive! Vancouver is absolutely crawling with Minis and I still have yet to see another '05! I wonder where they're all hiding.</p>
<p>I suppose the only way to find out is to get out there do more motoring, eh? :-)</p>
<p>i've seen some downtown Toronto, still they definitely aren't common</p>
<p>i caught a glipse of a cool blue cooper convertible screaming down the gardiner today, looked great!</p>
