...these pics are green because it's been an uncharacteristically wet few weeks....the dams (right near where we took these photos) went from 30% full to overflowing very quickly....
I think I already put the link in my first post, but Liam's piccies are all here
I couldn't really post pics of 'lil blue now though, could I? Except for maybe this one
(that's AndrewH behind Minigolf in my car):

Hope all you Dark Silver owners got your DRLs programmed on cause your cars are about the same color as most pavement.
Give me a bright, cheery color anyday....CR, LY, EB...., look at me and feel good colors, leave the high tech look for the 4-door sedans and SUVs.
Ok, so I don't get flamed too much, Dark Silver can look good, especially with a black top.

as your fearless leader i declare all other MINIs equal.
they just arent as sexy, fun, or fast.
one of my favorite parts about the all DS MINI is the ability of the paint to adapt to any background our surounding.
let me know anytime what i can do for you to represent our kind to the fullest.
be well and be different.

It's my goal to get a classic within the next 3 years, but I've got to build a place to hide ......... er work on it first. BTW, I'm smitten by the Tahiti Blue, so if you find one that's a deal let me know.

The greys and blacks are nice in my book and can be photographed as shiny and handsome, but run the risk of looking invisible and unless in the right circumstances, un-exciting in a world of mostly greyish/blackish roads, surfaces, etc. Every car is different of course, different lines etc, so my fav colors vary based on the design, and to me intense saturated colors really suit the character of the Mini. Dark Grey is nice but I loooove my HB (You had to know when you started this thread not all people would agree with you :smile:

We were using a slow ISO (50 I think) and the cars are only going about 30-40kph (20-25 MPH)....

Back on topic . . .
Q. What do you call a DS MINI with a PS roof?
A. Concrete Camouflage.
They don't paint 'em two tone gray to make 'em easy to see . . .

Besides, you and I know we'd all have a garage full of different colour'd mini's if we could...but one has to prioritise.....so with that restriction, I'll help you out with some more inspiration!
