Get a picture of the "close the top" button.
Er...it's just a toggle switch above the rearview.
Although the smaller gauge left of the tachometer on the steering column is the "openometer," which measures hours and minutes and seconds driven with the top down. Really.

Hrmm. I saw a picture of a Mini where the button had a flip cover on it that said "Do you really need to close the top? Yeah. we thought not".
Maybe that's on US only models?
My next car is gonna be a new VW Golf this fall. I don't know if it will be a 2.5, a TDI, or a GTI (hopefully the class-action suit from my last job will be out of arbitration before then), but I do know it will be Tornado Red with a sunroof.
The steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Might've been an older model; mine's US spec.

I wondered about that when I saw the front side marker lights, and I was thinking "Is that US-spec? Since when do they need side marker lights in Germany?"
There's also the Euro-plate attached to what looks like a US-plate holder, that I just noticed.
Nice little car.

WAY TO SUPPORT AMERICAN WORKERS
No American car company makes anything I want to drive, any more. Even the one that isn't going to go bankrupt, or the one that has to merge with Fiat.
If you want to get more than 10 miles on a single tank, don't buy an American car.
If you want to have an interior that isn't made from wobbly cheap plastic, don't buy an American car.
If you want bodywork that isn't low grade steel and won't rust immediately, don't buy an american car.
Fuck.. just don't buy an American car.
front spoiler? fuck yeah, ladies drop their panties
Wait.. if you got a Japanese engine/gears/suspension and put it in an American musclecar body..
.. hmmm...

I have no idea what a matrix is.
Japanese cars are an American obsession. Very few people bother with them here.

What does the disproportionately giant guard rail indicate?

Would this make you the only full bird with a Mini? Is getting that back to the states going to be a problem?
Oddly enough, the guy who sold it to me said the first several folks to buy the new cabrio were Colonels....
BMW has a program for servicemembers stationed overseas where they'll ship the car back to the US free, so no worries there.

I just finished watching a recent episode of BBC's Watchdog and apparently the power steering on slightly older models (2001 until recent) can fail and even burst into flames.
