So Mini just released its new convertible! This is good. It also has an openometer. Mini owners no longer have to log manually log the hours they've had the top down! take that GT-R

is this April 1

It is but it's no joke. Saw this a few months ago. I think even Top Gear had some laughs because of this.

No its no April fools, but that's why I brought it up. Was flipping through Road and Track today and stumbled on it. Probably one of the lamest ideas I've seen since, well... I don't know KERS got ok'd for F1? Yeah that will do it.

The Top Gear guys were indeed talking about this last season. They lol'd. I lol'd.

I saw it in the top gear magazine.

I dare say, it's a cute idea...

Somewhat related - Last night I saw a sticker in the corner of the right rear window of a Cooper S that read "Actual Size"

I lol'd quite a bit.
