This isn’t just any MINI – it’s the 2017 John Cooper Works Convertible, which means it’s essentially a firecracker wearing a cheeky grin. Under the bonnet, there’s a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine chucking out 231 horsepower. That’s ludicrous in something this small. It handles like a caffeinated go-kart – pointy, twitchy, and borderline insane in the best way possible. And with the roof down? It’s like being punched in the face by a very enthusiastic breeze while the exhaust throws a tantrum behind you. It’s fast, loud, daft, and utterly brilliant. A proper little hooligan in designer sunglasses.
