I'm here...

What surprises me is that despite living in Austin, home of the national champion Texas Longhorns, I have yet to see a single Hot Orange Cabrio around town. This town probably has more orange cars per capita than just about anywhere, but no HO Cabrios.

Too hot

Including ones with the blue top(mine) and ones with the green top(even more rare).
Painesville MINI, I remeber when you put your order in , i was on MINI2.com.
You said that someone already had your, plus I think my brother saw your car in Cleveland!

Their are very few of us, the cool blue people have a crowd.
We need a voice of our own just on MINI talk.
Plus we did buy their flagship car!
I would like to know how many got the two tone ornage blue interior and who got blue , green, and black tops?

Anyone want to post some pics?

Great combination, love those seat, I wish they were all leather, BLUE and orange.

I wonder if anyone has the english leather interior, but it only comes in grey and with light grey piping?

Icarus reporting for HO duty, sir! Wait. That doesn't sound right. Um, present and accounted for? Yeah, that sounds better.

Blue leather interior with body color dash, interior & exterior chrome packs, NO STRIPES! plus extra chrome thrown on the interior (vent *****, defrost rings, door lock rings and switch panel cover rings), blue top (that's not working right now gotta take it in) and one awesome body kit planned within the next 1.5 years. It's very expensive but the highest quality and design there is. Until then I save up $ and dream.

K&N CAI, 17% pulley and cold plugs being added this weekend. I already have the MTH Tuner File for the MCSC 06 manual (excellent buttdyno measurement but getting real dynoed this Thur for the delta) and I am awaiting the updated one that adjusts for the added mods.

New tires & wheels coming in a few months. Other mods that are planned for this year are: Koni FSD's, rear sway bar, M7's USS, Miltek exhaust & Green Stuff brake pads with steel braided brake lines. Let's just say this road ain't for everyone as it's very expensive and a lot of work.

Was in winning pic with two others for January's Off the Beaten path photo contest. Also in deck of cards that is offered here somewhere. I don't remember which card Icarus is.

Oh yeah and one 10cm x 5mm scratch on interior passenger door panel. Someone got lazy getting in the car and used the door to help get their foot in. Their boot had strap up hooks. Grrr. Will be repaired when body kit gets added.

My dealer has sold ONE total orange/green top cars! ONE...ever. And they required a LARGE deposit on it because they didnt want to be stuck with it.

The new owner loved his 'little pumpkin"

spotted a HO/B (with black bonnet stripes) today!

(14 Mile and Kelly in Michigan!)

Well, I dunno if I'd call them Hot (some of you might think so tho...) but here are some orange people

Classic eVal! I love it! there are a few in Sacramento area! I don't think we have any in the GCM club yet!

somehow I was thinking along the same lines lol..

I think HO is a great color, I don't understand why it's shunned so my dealer has made a similar comment in that they cringe whenever they get an orange one on the lot... but I think they look great.

I have been searching the galleries for a PW conv S, but they seem to be few and far between as well...

were the ones that used the fake tan stuff!

There's a HO/Blue top cabrio owned by a worker at Ridge. (Great reds!). I see her car every time I go tasting at the Monte Bello winery....

Black top with this interior...

Front view wit the top up...

From the back with the top down.

Some friends on a test drive...???

a picture of the CN tower in Toronto?

Sorry couldn't resist. I was in my photo gallery and forgot that was there. Had to share it.

They are orange with green tops(hair) and white stripes(eye brow)..

Sweet pics, great interior, NEMO!!

I don't know why they are low in numbers, keeps mine HIGH in value!!

Blue top, Black top, love them all.
We have to form our own group on Cabrio Talk, its almost time for top down fun... and for SoCAL people they already do this... they are the lucky ones

I wonder how many have white rims?
Even a lesser amount?

I think I was 1 of 3 at the Classic MINI gathering this last summer. I was the only non-S HO there.

Is your brother in Cleveland? Where was he when he saw the what looked like my car?

THOM B,

No, but I should have. My wife is basically blind at night. Her next car will have some upgraded lights. It's one of those things where hindsight before buying would have been good.

I know it was you , same rims, same stripe, he got it with a camera phone while driving( he was not at the wheel)
My other brother lives in Parma Heights, who they visit.
I met a Hyper blue in the parking deck at the cleveland clinic!

I looked at the pic again, Blue top....
Yours is black.

But it was the same car down to the interior.
You have a blue top clone in cleveland!!!!

I think a guy was driving.
See we have camera phones which we take Pics of MINIs on then send them to each other.


The best thing for MINI sighting!

Now you have to tell me when. I've got winter tires/ rims on it. I do work right over by I-480 which on the way from P-burgh is your route.

There are plenty of MINI's by me as Classic is about 8 miles from my house.
