Have you ever seen someone driving an open car with the top up? You kind of get the feeling they have something to hide. Like someone wearing a trench coat and sunglasses. Somehow, that thin piece of fabric is more of a barrier than the strongest steel. If they were driving a car with a regular roof, you probably wouldn't notice. But since they've intentionally closed an open car, you can't help but think they're a closed person. After all, they've made a conscious decision to be closed when the opportunity to be open was right there. Open people would never do this. Open people don't care what their hair looks like. Open people don't mind picking a few bugs out of their teeth. If they drive past an oil refinery, open people welcome the smell. If panhandlers approach them at a red light, open people never panic. Most motorcycle people are open people. They're just opted for two wheels instead of four. All kids are open people. This is why they try so hard to stuff their heads and arms out the window. But most of them soon outgrow it.
In the old days, it was easy to tell open people from regular people. Open people motored around in goggles and leather caps. They took a lot of back roads. Whenever possible, they kept the accelerator mashed to the floor. When they stopped to gas up, the grimy outline of their eyewear made them look like racoons. Today it's harder to spot an open person. But they're still the exception and not the rule. Even here at MINI, most of us are regular roofers.
If you are considering a new car, the best thing you can do is to be honest with yourself. Are you an open person? Please, take some time to think about it. The fact is we didn't make very many of these, and we're sort of hoping they end up in the right hands. Always Open,
Translation - Spanish LA CARTA OPEN
A quien corresponda:
¿Alguna vez ha visto a alguien conduciendo un coche descapotable con la capota cerrada? Da la sensación de que tiene algo que esconder. Como el que lleva una gabardina y gafas de sol. De algún modo, esa fina pieza de tela se asemeja más a una barrera que el acero más resistente.
Si estuviera conduciendo un coche con techo normal, no notaríamos nada. Pero como intencionadamente ha cerrado un coche descapotable, no podemos evitar pensar que es alguien cerrado. Después de todo, ha tomado la decisión consciente de encerrarse cuando tenía a su alcance la oportunidad de ir al descubierto. Alguien abierto nunca lo haría.
Alguien abierto no se preocupa por el estado de su pelo. Ni por el hecho de tener comida entre los dientes. Si alguien abierto pasa por delante de una refinería de petróleo, agradece el olor. Si los mendigos se le acercan en un semáforo en rojo, no se asusta. La mayoría de los motoristas son personas abiertas. Sólo que han optado por ir sobre dos ruedas en lugar de sobre cuatro. Los niños son abiertos. Por eso buscan una y otra vez sacar la cabeza y los brazos por la ventanilla. Pero a la mayoría se le pasa en seguida con la edad.
Antiguamente, era fácil distinguir a las personas abiertas de las comunes. La gente abierta circulaba con gafas protectoras y gorra de cuero. Tomaban muchísimas carreteras secundarias. Siempre que podían, pisaban a fondo el acelerador. Cuando paraban a repostar, el ennegrecido contorno de las gafas les hacía parecer un mapache. Hoy cuesta más distinguir a alguien abierto. Aunque siga siendo la excepción y no la norma. Incluso aquí, en MINI, la mayoría somos techadores habituales.
Si piensa en cambiar de coche, lo mejor que puede hacer es ser honesto consigo mismo. ¿Es usted abierto? Tómese su tiempo de reflexión. El caso es que no fabricamos muchos vehículos así y esperamos que acaben en buenas manos.
Siempre abiertos, siempre Open,
