] When BMW dealers start selling the new Mini convertible
] in Europe and the U.S. this summer, the cars will be
] delivered to customers with the top down and a seal that
] is broken when the roof is raised for the first time.
] Buyers will be asked to sign a mock contract committing
] them to keeping the roof down as long as they can -- to
] stay true to the Mini convertible's open-minded spirit.
] "It will spark contests to see how long owners can go
] before breaking the seal," says Jack Pitney,
] vice-president of Mini USA.
