Your making me feel old now, my wife and I actually lived with a German family in Miesau and she volunteered for the Red Cross in the Landsthul Army Hospital 1970 - 1972....seems like only yesterday

 

Okay, we haven't had a post in more than a month--are Brilliant Coppers going to be that rare? I've seen a few Blazing Reds on the road, but still never another Copper Cooper.

 

I have had mine since March and still haven't seen another. It's OK I like it!

 

To say we love this new color, would be an understatement. We ordered ours a month ago, so we have some time to go yet. It'll be the same as the 2012 CMS we're trading in. All one color, and same options on it. Our Lt. Coffee only has 2100 miles on it, but it was the color that really made us excited to trade. As a foot note, even though ours was an early 2012, we got a very fair trade in value, actually getting the full base price back, just losing the cost of the options.

 

Yeah the day we got ours another family ordered one so we have two in our area hear in the UK but we love this thing. Just over 3 months and 3300 miles.

 

Taking my "Sheila" for her first real road trip . Left New York for South Carolina today. What a great drive , smooth ride. Had to keep an eye on the speed it just feels like I am not going that fast... But I am . Drove thru the Shenandoah Mts today. Haven't seen any Mini's at all since I hit PA. Love my copper mini

 

Hi.

I have been lurking around here for probably 2 years wanting a new countryman. I finally went to the dealer this week to order a new. I found out that you can't order a 2013 anymore. So I am getting one of the first 2014s from this dealership.

I love the brilliant copper color. I ordered it with the black roof, mini connected (no nag), sunroof and the anthracite turbofan wheels.

Now I just need drugs or meditation to deal with waiting for 8-12 weeks. Hopefully it will be sooner.

You should joint DC Metro MINI's www.dcmetrominis.org

We have a lot of fun running around with all types of MINI's. And then Tycoon would have someone to play with!

 

I haven't seen another one on the road. I guess it might just be a rare color!

 

Down in Conway SC, nice. Hardly saw any Mini's. Drove like a dream!

 

Finally saw another Brilliant Copper in the wild. MCS, black roof, stripes, and wheels. Also have a Blazing Red parked at the next building over.

 

They're starting to appear in the wild, now--I spotted an all-Brilliant Copper Paceman down in Kaiserslautern yesterday. Which does leave me feeling dumb for having opened this thread in the R60 forum. To be fair, there weren't any R61s on the road yet when I did it. Any way to move a whole thread to a more ecumenical forum?

 

Well there are 3 hear in the UK were we live now. Someone got one that lives 3/4 mile down the road from us. I guess they liked ours so much they when and got one LOL. The only way we can tell the two apart in passing is they have the COUNTRYMAN across the hatch as we have the black stripes and I put 6k park lights in the front.

 

Do we have a badge like the other colors? If not, how do we get one?

 

Joining the club soon. Trading in my 12 countyman S to a 13 all4 with black top and mirrors, sunroof, Cold weather, Nav, blacked out xenons, and anthricite double 5 spoke wheels. i found it used with 6,000 miles driven by the dealers wife. it has every option i wanted including the rear buckets with split rail and comfort entry which seem to be more difficult to find int he 14's. Can't wait for delivery which is either tomorrow or next wednesday. (Hopefully tomorrow!) I have to drive 2 hours to get it, so that is the challenge. They are going to swap my new non runflats as well so it is perfect.

 

Sounds awesome!! Welcome I really love this color. I never see other countrymen with it. I have never been so happy driving a car. I have 13,000 miles on mine and it won't be s year old til March!!

 

Picked it up Saturday - You can see it in my Signature. Had them swap out my Non Run flats. I was surprised when I first drove it. It drives much smoother.Moving from an S to an All4, I didn't expect that. Maybe they changed the 2013's in general, because it was immediately noticeable.
Love the Heated Seats, Nav/connected, sunroof and All4. A worthy upgrade.Coming from Royal Gray, it does not look that much different. I bought it without seeing it first and I thought it would be brighter. But I really like it. More pictures to follow when it is not raining and 38 degrees.

 

Is there room for one more in the Brilliant Copper club?

About 2 months ago, I picked up a 2013 CMS in Brilliant Copper with a black roof, and 18" anthracite turbofan wheels. Inside it has the anthracite headliner (which I absolutely love!!!). I named it Bully, but my wife insists on calling it Brownie . She purchased a 2013 CM in Silver with black stripes and wheels. After she bought her's, I had to have one too. MoPlano had mine on the showroom floor all decked out with kayak rack, ski rack, and a rear mount bike rack. I opted to keep the roof rails and ordered 3 roof top bike racks for the cars. The only other CM I've seen in Brilliant Copper was also for sale at MoPlano when I picked mine up. It had a white top and silver 18" turbo fan wheels.

After 2 months and about 5200 fun filled miles, I'm still loving it.

Cheers
