You're telling me he beat out a Pure Red? Now we need to have a talk with the judges.

I agree.. how many showed up.. I mean if you win out of 100 its a lot color than winning out of three.

I would guess not many as its a new model and alot of people locally are even having issues getting their hands on them.

Either way its cool you won..

And.. White > Red any day.

The coolest thing is he has a standard Cooper not an S, I've always though the Cooper looked better than the S.

The Cooper doesn't frown like the S does.

But when you roll the S over and scratch its belly, it grins.

I will get a CM count for you all. I thought the setup on the PO Countryman was excellent, I was in the show to his/her left.

The White Countryman was an excellent choice to win, subtle.

Regardless of the CM count, congrats to Tacoman! You made us here on the boards proud!

Thanks for the kudos! There were 5 other CMs in the Nuf Car Show: Mine, Red one, royal grey one, cosmic blue one, yellow one and a light coffee one. All the CMs out in Winter Park were "s" versions, Bandit was the only Justa....socre one for the little guy! There were, I think, a total of 10-12 CMs at the event in all out of 225 MINIs, so Countyrmans were well represented. All the CMs looked great and got lots of attention from the public that viewed all the MINIs for 4 hours!

Our ALL4 did not make the show, but we gave it some thought.

Well deserved! I was the Light Coffee CM, but didn't figure I would win compared to the competition... I was just there to provide contrast to the really shined out CM's such as yours.

Aww, shucks! I think all looked great a gave the public a chance to see how cool 4 doors can really be, especially on a MINI! I think I looked in yours and saw the cloth seats I SHOULD have ordered instead of the standard vinyl....was very jealous of those seats. I am not a leather kinda guy...

Ahhh, come on. Let your inner demons out and have some fun.


Sealy - Who holds no grudges. White won fair and square. Good going!

Sealy, we represented Pure Red as best we could be to no avail. There is a link in an earlier post and the last pic has us with all of the doors open in top left of the group. Lot's of people liked the color but it takes guts to pull the trigger and buy one.

This was our first MINI event and certainly won't be the last - had a wonderful time!!
