We wait until the admin (aka thread starter) comes back and gives us a #... he's MIA for the moment.

Thanks for letting me know. Do we need to form a search party?

I just looked at some of the pages in TSR53 post, above. Impressive! Especially the driver walking away after numerous roll-overs on page 4 or 5. What a mess that car is.

Greetings fellow CROCs

Dropped off da MINI for servicing today and for the first time ever got a loaner that is CR/W -- and it even has white bonnet stripes and checkerboard mirrors. The only exterior difference is that it doesn't have a checkerboard graphic on the sunroof.

So while motoring the loaner for the next day or so I'll still be inhabiting Planet CROC in the MINIverse. I consider this way cool as I remain one with CROCness.

Am sure bamatt will update the membership list shortly.

Hi all. I'm having a hard time deciding between getting a BRG/W and a CR/B.

Specifically, I'm interested in getting CR/B with chrome mirrors and driving lamps but WITHOUT stripes. I haven't come across this combo in the bajillions of posts I've read. I would really appreciate it if someone has a picture of that, since the configurator doesn't seem to do it justice.

ZachM greetings
Hmmmm, this might not be the thread to ask about colors other than CR. That said, a friend of mine has BRG/W with bonnet and boot stripes and it does look almost as awesome as CR. Heehee.

Happy hunting for your MINI.

Oh didn't mean to suggest that hehe. I'm just looking for a picture of the red so that I can make a better decision. The picture the configurator generates is from such an even angle that you can't really see what the car will look like from the front.

Ah yes, to BRG/W or to CR/B that is the question
Perhaps it would be nobler and wiser to check them out in a MINI dealership lot?
Perchance to look, to see, to compare...

Thank you for the kudos! I've tried to keep a very focused report on only the MINI Challenge German series. Yes, that crash is certainly impressive, here it is again. I also have a youtube page with many other MINI Challenge favorite videos http://www.youtube.com/user/tsrennsport

Hi Kathleen_in_NH... congrats! our CROC administrator is currently hiding under a BRG/W Clubman, and we're not sure why... when we can talk him out, we'll all get our membership and numbers

Thanks, bamatt!

Just kidding about the Clubman comment <giggle>

We should probably design a CROC sticker/emblem with room in the middle for our CROC number, properly typeset... I might try to do it at Zazzle if I have time...

Me too!

Please add me and "Fontana", my '07 R56S CR/W roof/mirrors/stipes to the list. I'm not picky on my number and thank you for setting up a club for the hottest MINI color.
