Good morning all --

My wife and I purchased a 2006 Purple Haze MINI Cooper about a month ago, and WE LOVE IT! What a fantastic little car...I tell friends and family, when driving the MINI one can't help but drive with big fat smile on their face .

We bought it from a MINI dealer who told us a BMW executive drove it for about 7k miles and that's when they got it. It's been outfitted with more goodies than we would have ordered ourselves, but now that we have them, we love those extra goodies. And the best part, luckily for us even with all the extra packages outfitted, the car was ordered with the 5 spd manual transmission to keep that twisty road driving fun meter pegged.

We love the car and the motoring experience of driving our "new" MINI Cooper.

Awesome. Purple Haze is a FABULOUS color One of my neighbors is a University of Washington alumni. She has a PH (of course) all decked out in UW Husky flair/bling/ whatever.

 

Congrats! Howdy and welcome!

 

Congrats on your new Baby!!!

 

Welcome, and congrats on the new MINI! Motor on, and enjoy all those "goodies."

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I've been poking around NAM for a little while now and it sure seems like a great bunch of happy Mini owners. Looking forward to continued correspondences.

 

congrats on the purchase and welcome to NAM!!!

 

Congratulations. Since it's a Mini, we don't even mind the PH up here in Duck land.

Blue Skies' neighbor might be pushing it, though, if she ventured down here.

 

Ahhhhhhhh... the quite elusive Purple Haze. Sweet !

How about some pics?... that one on your gallery isn't too good (no offense).

Don't deprive us, we don't get to see many PH MINIs around here !!

 

Sorry about the lo-quality photo in my gallery. I'll take some better quality pix this weekend and post them in the gallery.

We've only seen one other PH MINI since we've had the car...saw it last weekend on a motor through Solvang, CA. I think we (drivers of each car) were shocked to see another PH...ended up waving to each other (kewl )...but seconds later when a MC convertable passed...driver just looked at me funny when I waved..

 

Well, let's just say your Little Yellow Duck might meet a similar fate up here
Let's just see what this fall brings. Woof Woof

 

Hi all,

I went out today and took some pics of our PH MC...it's a little dirty now...but pics just the same. Here's one, the rest are in my gallery.

 

Congrads on your new Mini and welcome to NAM.There is a disease among us called Mod Fever,beware.Q

 

Yessssssssssss, those pics are MUCH better. Thanks for sharing !!

Love the interior... Purple Haze carpet ?? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me ? Very cool ! Love the chrome interior, too.

 

Touche.

I have a friend who has a pickup painted in that odd Nike helmet green the Ducks went to a few years ago. He also has a bunch of Duck decals. I'm like, Mark, I hope you never have to go to Corvallis for anything. You'd just be asking for someone to key it or throw a rock through the window.

I've got to say, though, I love purple haze. It's a sharp color.
