The Official Lightning Blue Owners Club

Even though I'm not quite an owner, I did a search for The Official Lightning Blue Owners Club. Being jealous of the Indie Blue and Hyper Blue Owners Clubs, I thought it's high time for us Lightning Blues to get a club.

And can't we all just get along? Maybe form an Official Blue Owners Club, to be all-inclusive. We have different shades of skin color, but we're all blue MINIs.

Looks like I'm the 5th official member of this startup club.
I should be united with my MINI sometime in early July.

My LY/W MC turned a slight shade of cool blue briefly in the garage during our ice storm during Jan. Would that make me a semi-member??

I’m switching my alliance. I’ve traded in my chili red for a lightning blue MCS. It was another one of those rash (without forethought) things that I keep doing. I just went to the dealer to have my key reprogrammed and ended up buying a new car.

"Lightning Betsy" is at the dealer now being prepped. I will be there Thursday morning when the doors.

Lightning blue MCS, chrome mirrors, premium and sprots packages, & limited slip

I am definately thinking about going LiB/LiB when I order... because they don't offer the MCS in Orange or Nightfire Red

Yeah. It came from trying to get excess after-market touch-up paint off your hand, because MINI still hasn't figured out how to sell it in the US.

New Lightning Blue MCS from AUS

Hi Guys,
The Lightning Blue MINI below is about a week old in the photos below. Its now two weeks old with about 1000km on the clock......oh yeah, still heaps of fun

'07 MINI Cooper S
Lightning Blue, white roof, mirror caps, stripes
White 16" Bridge Spokes
Not sure what is, isn't standard in US. Stock for AUS included front/rear fog lights, MFSW, ASC+T (also ABS and CBC, but I think that is standard for you guys too).
