2012 MINI Roadster has Arrived at MINI Markham!

Most great things are delivered by transport trucks, and some excitement for our MINI Fans we have just received our first MINI Roadster in the flesh. The white plastic bits on the hood still needs to be removed, and the suspension is still in shipping blocks and in dire need of a bath. 

Reasons why you might want a MINI Roadster:
1. No one ever rides in the backseat
2. I enjoy a million miles (Um, I mean kilometers) of headroom
3. The popup spoiler, oh and did I mention you can make it go up our down with the flick of a switch?
4. Very fun to drive, due to fantastic handling. Feel free to add if I missed any.
