Summer time is around the corner and MINI is preparing its new drop top model for cruising in the sunshine.

Though we have seen the 2016 MINI Convertible testing before, this is the first time the roof has been down, giving us a view of the car in convertible mode. There are very few surprises here, with the Cooper retaining its styling save for the soft cloth roof.

Powertrain options are also expected to stay the same as the standard Mini Cooper, which offers a 1.5-liter three cylinder or a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

The car should make its official debut in late 2015.

    Every so often, I meet a woman that is truly beautiful. She exudes sexuality. Her long legs are athletic but sleek. Her breasts point at the sky and I'm certain that an errant bullit fired from a robbery or battle would bounce off her taunt and perfectly defined bottom. But then my vision settles on her shoulder or upper arm that has been defiled with a tattoo lowering the total package to a $22 whore from what was, momentarily, a work of art. Defiled... just like in the Mini Cooper convertible pictures above. I'd rather sleep alone / take a cab.
