Greetings! I am a new 05 CR/W w/Wbonnetstrps #3 MINI owner and I have had my MINI for three weeks now and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!! I have washed the MINI three times and waxed it once! Now I don't mind when the wife asks me to run to the store for something! I live in the Ellicott City/Columbia, MD area and commute to Rockville, MD M-F. I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks. My new MINI is named Red 5 (any other MINI or MCS Star Wars fans out there?) and will soon be decorated in a subtle Star Wars theme with stripes indicating Red 5, and the Rebel Alliance and Incom (the manufacturer of the X-Wing) logos. I have wanted my own MINI for four years and have always planned to personalize it in a Star Wars X-Wing theme. When it comes to personalized deco my philosophy is less = more, so it won’t be as over the top as the cars at RoadSquadron.com, although I really do appreciate their creativity. As for the roof art… the jury is still out on that one and I have several designs I am considering. Are there any other Star Wars themed MINI/MCS out there? Are there any sci-fi, fantasy or superhero themed MINI/MCS out there? I have been looking, but haven’t found any… yet. Anyway, I am so happy with my MINI and so happy to have joined NAM. When I see other MINI/MCS I am sure to wave/flash/honk! Happy motoring and my the Force be with you all… and your little dog too!

There are several photos in my gallery... ENJOY!!

 

yes there are many Sci fi/ superhero mini's out there. No i dont have links or pic's im pretty sure the owner should be popping up soon. For the Starwars fan in you. Somewhere on name theres a Red mini that had a R2D2 dome head mounted on the roof of his.(look in Show me your Roof graphic) A Few that have roof Graphics from Starwars, Star trek, and other Sci Fi shows. Theres a Couple sporting dragons, elves, Fairies, etc. Also seen SuperMini, Bat Mini and the Fabulous Stoopid Girl Mini (a Must see)

Hi Red_5 and everyone else.

I was about to post my own introduction, but this thread seemed more appropriate. I too am new to NAM, have owned Oswald for about three weeks now, and also live in Ellicott City, MD. A few too many coincidences. Anyway Oswald is an 05 MCSC HB/B with white bonnet stripes and union jack mirror caps. It is without a doubt the most fun set of wheels I have ever owned.

I just uploaded a few pictures to the gallery. For anyone out there considering Hyber Blue with the Cordoba Biege interior these photos may help the decision. I think it looks great together.

 

Welcome DeeSquare!

Oswald looks great!

 

HI DEESQUARE!!!

WOW that is a coincidence. Nice to meet another Ellicott City motorist! I will be sure to keep my eyes open for you and Oswald and be sure to wave/flash/honk when I see you.

Are you getting personalized plates for Oswald? I put in my first order ever for personalized plates with DMV two weeks ago. I have never had personalized plates for any other car I have ever owned. Now that I have a MINI, I can't wait for my plates!
My four choices (in order of preference) are RED 5, REDFIVE, RED5 XW, and XW RED5.

MTFBWY,

Please come down to the DC Metro MINIs forum and introduce yourselves to our group. We have several members in the Columbia and Ellicott City areas.

 

Thanks everyone.

Red 5, no I decided to skip the personalized plates, the car seemed personalized enough. I'll definitely keep an eye out for you. I suppose once the Star Wars decore is applied it should be pretty easy to spot you.
