They do look exactly the same. perhaps twins separated at birth?

 

Thought I'd share this pic of my Sparkling Silver S in Sequoia National Forest:

 

It's been 10 days; surely we have more SS owners by now.

 

Interesting how slow posts have gotten.

I don't have a recent pic, but I can report that SS handles road grime very well. (Mine's a commuter car. )

~6000 miles. I still love this car. But I switched to my big yellow truck for snow/ice.

Cheers!

 

I'm finding this color is hard to keep clean, or it could be the time of year, i can't was her every week now!

 

It's hard to believe that next week will be my 1 year anniversary with my SS baby! And Gem, you have your 6 month coming up!! Time sure flies!

 

Daphne's birthday is January 8th. Must be a good time of the year for sparkling silver!!!

 

I know I was just saying that on my week 23 thread, 6 months went by faster then the 6 weeks wait across the pond!!! It seems so anyway.... i'm so loving this car!
Happy Birthday! are you having a party, with a mini cake???

 

Happy Birthday to Daphane as well!!!

 

That is MY birthday!!! Woo hoo, I share my birthday with Elvis, David Bowie, my Uncle Lenny, my cousin's daughter Samantha, and now Daphne!

 

We'll just have a big celebration for the birth of Christ, my car, the new year and me all together probably. Such a happy time of year!

 

and a Merry Christmas to you!!!!

and the same to everyone else here on the SS thread and a Happy New Year to all!

 

MCS 2008 bought new 12/2/2008 at mini Peabody from Ma Ed Marsi,stripes modified and expertly applied by Kevin Eaton at Mini Peabody.


"as has been said by many-what a great experience-a very relaxed
no pressure atmosphere.My ma is Ed Marsi.I arrived at 10 am that day-no
prior visit-and drove my new mini, registered,detailed,and stickered home
at 4pm.Ed kept all his promises and even went with me to get my sticker
because I was new to the area.Today I went back to get ordered roof
stripes.Kevin Eaton from mini service modified them to my secifications
and applied them perfectly-spending a long time to make sure they were
perfect-so meticulous!!!When kevin was done he washed and wiped down my
car w/o me even asking.I will be buying my wife a mini inthe spring
needless to say I will be buying it from Ed and be requesting that Kevin
oversee all my service work"

Are clubmans also welkom here??

here's mine

 

As long as they're SS, sure!!

 

I used to hate this color, but a few days ago the dealer had one in the show room with black bonnets and black top, it looks so slick! It is now in the my top 3 colors for my next mini.

 

Well ,you wont get bored with it-it changes according to light conditions as you can see between my pics and the awesomely detailed clubman pictures.

 

On the configurator, SS is nasty. I went in to order Astro Black, saw it was some nasty dark blue color, and saw the SS sitting there on the dealer lot. I thought about it overnight,then we re-configured with SS and the rest, as they say, is history.

 

So nice to read about someone who had such a smooth and enjoyable transaction.

The question now: what color will the wife's MINI be?

 

She likes O2 blue-but it is not available on a sport ,and by the time we add in all her required options it would be foolish not to get a sport.So her second choice is pepper white,body color roof,premiem package,cold weatherpack,and mini hifi,tuscan leather etc.!!

 

PW is a great color. If I didn't get SS, I think I might've gone with that.

 

funny -PW was my second choice also!

 

Thanks for all the replies- What is the sidewalk package?I have seen it mentioned on these forums, but dont remember seeing it on the configurator.

 

I believe it is/was a package for the convertibles only, but I'm not sure what was included in it. I think wheels were part of it, trimwork too?

 

Sidewalk package is a combo of the Premium and Sport Package and a few other nice little features. it is listed under the config or the convertible.
