Its actually the absolute black body color... Prob drove through 600 miles of pollen turning it slightly green. It is the factory rack.

 

The design is by Sealy, the shirt is being worn by Bill. I thought this should be in the Countryman Pictures with the MINI in the back. BTW, the back of the shirt reads COUNTRYMAN across the shoulders.

 

Great shirt and MINI, of course. Where did you find it?

Thanks...

 

Thanks for the credit MiniB. Good looking model, too. I wonder if it's too late for a copywright?

Needed some time in the mountains this past weekend, and took a couple pictures.

Decided to pose Norman in front of the Overlook (Stanley Hotel).


And then down by the river.

 

Great shot of the Overlook... oh and Norman too! How I miss Colorado.

 

Norman is a lucky CM.

 

Found these on Flickr . Hope you don't mind showing them here...

 

I love that flat black look with vinyl. I wonder how much that would cost to wrap most of your car like that.

How about on top of Mt. Washington? Blue sky, True Blue MINI. I love trying to figure out where in the gradient of the sky is the best match for the color of the MINI.

 

Actually your MINI is almost a mirror image of the sky in terms of gradient. Pretty cool!

 

I've been meaning to post here for a couple of months but wanted to get some stuff done to the car before I do. Got all the chrome pieces on the car wrapped in matte black except for the tailpipes. Took these a couple of weeks ago in Boston Harbor.

I picked it up on my birthday May of 2011. It was really unexpected but after I test drove it, there was no going back. I wasn't keen on the Red on Red at first but now I really like them. I think it sets the car off from other Countryman. I eventually named it "El Diablo" aka the Red Devil

This is my 3rd MINI since 2003 (2003 R53 MCS was my first and 2007 R56 MCS was my second), by far, it is my favorite. Well, maybe if I can make it a bit fast I would like it even more. I am looking forward to the adventure I will have with the Red Devil in the next few years.

El Diablo looks awesome, cpraser I love how the blacked out trim looks and matches the rest of the body and the viper stripes just complete the badness. What % tint do you have on?

 

Thanks man, the tint is the Massachusetts Legal level that let's 35% or more light in. I didn't want to have to deal with it every time I have to get the car inspect. I like the stripes also, the front part looks like a trident (Devil's fork). A perfect fit for the Red Devil

 

Gadget got a little dirty...

 

My wife and I just picked up our 2011 today! We will take more pictures and post them soon!

 

I took this picture of a Countryman and his proud owner in Istanbul a few weeks ago.
Next picture i upload will hopefully bee my daughter's CM(week 4 of 8?).

 

And,he's not watering the plants

 

If he's not watering the plants then what is he doing?????

 

Just chilling next to it.
The only one we saw in Istanbul.

 

This was my loaner from MINI of Des Moines.

 

Just got mine tinted this morning, stocked

Wow! Lots of great new photos. I was especially struck by the flat black Countryman that Pimmy posted photos of, and the black out job done by cpraser.
