Your car is awesome! Would love to see pics of the anthracite and black leather w/piping! Chrome and PW just seem to go together!

Howdy SuperMod! Welcome to the club!

[Modshack]

Sign me up! Just picked up the car last week...found an '06 with less than 8000 miles. New wheels and tires already..More mods to come..

We finally got some sun today here in Ohio

As a former 05' PW/PW MC owner...I felt compelled to stop by and declare that after two years of being sans-MINI, I plunked down a deposit for an 08' PW/B 6-speed MCS today at Long Beach MINI. Of course I only intended to take a test drive (hadn't been behind the wheel of a MINI since April 2006), but my MA had a slot open and I decided to go ahead and order...and as the deposit is apparently non-refundable, I'm in!

Specs include: Premium, Cold Weather, MFSW, Chrome Line Int., Anthracite Headliner, and some lovely black bonnet stripes!

Now, the only problem is...how to get rid of my 06' Civic...Happy to be back on NAM, I've never let go of my MINI lust

Welcome all! Hey Modshack, thats a great find! My 06 MC still has less than 7k miles on it and I know there are not many like that left in the world. Congrats and welcome again! Happy Motoring

Hello fellow peerage,
I have recently done the Joey mod on my R56...if anyone is thinking about doing it I say go for it because its a fun, enjoyable mod that really goes well on our pepper whites (thats if you're trying to get rid of that chrome)

Hi Suzanne! I ordered a PW/B MCa yesterday. I got my production # and my paperwork says it will be week 10. I'm on the opposite coast from you so I don't know if we could be ship-mates? I'm pretty new to MINI-tracking.

This is the 2nd MINI in the family, my husband has a 2004 BRG/W MCS 6-speed. Now I just need to decide on a PW Peerage #.

if you put some returns between the picture inserts then then will be vertically.

(ex:

)

then that will work

No problem...love those wheels what are they?

I'm planning on either buying some rims sometime in the future or just having mine powder coated black...im think that latter and sooner but I may just leave a drop in the future to lessen the gap between the wheens

[J_D]

Thanks
The wheels are Mille Miglia HT3's, 18X7 with 215/40/18 tires. I belive the wheels are no longer produced but work with the 08's TPMS.

Hey Guys... just wanted to say hello to all the fellow PW afficianados out there.

Just got my PW 08 MCS 2 weeks ago and have been having a ball driving it (1100 miles already!). Since I got it as a commuting car, I thought I wouldnt need much in the way of options. So I only got a premium package and an automatic transmission. Now I wish I would have spent a little more because I am having way more fun it it than I thought I would.

Is number 951 available? See you all in the L.A., Orange, and Riverside counties of California!

Finally decided on a number...US 276 being the closest twisty, it'll probably be the most frequently motored by my MINI as it is now by my husband's MINI.

I've really enjoyed the pics of all your classy PW MINIs, really helps to ease the wait until I can see my own! Also now I can see what wheels look good on them.

My MINI will get a name after I take delivery.

I ordered a PW/B MCa with Premium pckg, Multifunction Steering wheel, Xenons, DSC, Sport suspension, Park distance control, Fog lights, Cream white color line and English Oak. Got the 15 in. rotator spokes with performance runflats for now, once those tires wear out I'll get some aftermarket 16 (or perhaps 17) wheels, to be chosen later. Probably will use the stock 15s for winter tires, though we don't get much winter here.

I don't find the sport seats comfortable for long trips, and was disappointed that I couldn't get cloth on standard seats. I guess standard seats are really so much of a minority here in the US, that they only offer leatherette and 2 types of leather for them. Delayed ordering until I figured out what to do. We've always had cloth seats or covers, neither of us can stand the feel of either hot or cold leather/ette. Since the car will be a beach & lake road tripper, I didn't want to get leather to worry about, so I finally decided to get leatherette and Wet Okoles. I'm thinking of black with white piping since I like the look of the lounge leather.

Anyway there's my MINI, still waiting on a production date but pretty sure I'll be in week 10. Need to work on a his/hers signature - something to do while waiting!

Hello Hello Hello fellow PW Mini people.
I'm requesting the number 03 for mine. Pics to follow as soon as wheels are on. (currently awaiting the arrival of my stud conversion kit).
