IF anybody knows where the DS MINI color is listed on 'popular' MINI colors picked by MINI owners, ... shout out.

I don't save too many pics but that is definitely one that I saved. That car looks HOT.

Everything but the left door and rear quarter. The aero kit is new, too. The total repair bill was just over $15k. They should have totaled it, but she's as good as new so I won't complain!

Not sure if any of you remember the 03 Mini (My-T-Maus) which died by fire in 06, but it has been replaced with an 06 Mini (Tonka) and I would like to him to meet his fellow DS Mini's if you don't mind.

Welcome to the DSOC!! I have had Winston since December 2002, Santa brought him, and I still thoroughly enjoy driving, whether it's to the local Store or cross country or just nowhere in particular.

Motor On. Safely.

Flew down to Tampa on 4/29, drove back to Topeka starting at 8am on 5/2, overnight in Clarksville (just dodged the tornado there that night), left Clarksville on 5/3 at 8:00am , arrived 4:30pm in Topeka (only tornado was under the bonnet of my Mini).

Finally tore myself away from driving long enough to go to work and start getting comfortable here at NAM...

Haven't decided on a name yet, leaning heavily toward Astra (actually Toto, we ARE in Kansas)...

I opted for dark rims myself. I wanted gray but only if it was a perfect match.

I ended up with black.

I really like the team dynamics pro race 1's. They look the best to me so far.

dark silver S owner/ DAN FAUST

I just got my 2008 ALL dark silver S with chrome mirrors, sports package, spoke 17"s and black/grey interior. I love this car, I am 6' 4'' and dont have the seat back all the way!. I am a retired truck driver, and at 58 years old have never driven a better machine..hands down. put me down on the list, dark silver is really a great color.
