HaHa JB still rules!

Very interesting though.

 

I'm a lot of things... some of them contradictory. :impatient

 

Paint all three pink, then you can join the few pink MINIs on this planet! Then you can also shorten up that SN you have for NAM hehe! Merry Christmas!

Motor On & Happy Holidays!

 

what about the MINIs that have a different color roof than the car? are we both the body color and roof color?

 

Color is subjective but there are colors that are just perfect match and stand-out to the over-all design of the Mini.

 

A good philosophical question. How about this - It says a lot about how enlightened Mini owners are in understanding the duality of life. Fast and very fast.

 

What about Hot Orange? Are we a combination of yellow and red? I also have a roof that is a different color(black).

My wife says it just shows how messed up I am. There's probably some truth to that.

 

What if you're just in the upper-middle-age range?

 

It makes up for the low testosterone?

 

Hey, I resemble that remark!

 

I'd better not have much testosterone.

I'm female.

 

I think there's a Hot Orange Support Group on the site.

 

Yeah, but there's a Support Group for all the colors. I guess that's because there are so many cool colors for the MINIs.

 

Agreed. I swear, the MINI is the first car that I think looks good in literally every factory color combo! Granted some I wouldn't want for myself, but not one stands out to me as ugly.

 

Was there a purple before?

 

Yep, Purple Haze / Black Eye Purple (I find that hilarious ). Was discontinued just last year with the introduction of the R56. I've also seen pics of gorgeous, and apparently semi-rare, PH/S (yes SILVER!) MINI's. Very nice.

 

I wonder if Dark Silver is considered to be more gray than silver for this list...

 

Or are you Calm cool sober and dedicated to being alouf

 

That's what I want to know

 

 

Creative & Lunatic???

 

PW is really somewhere between white and cream, so that must make me a self seeking, status contained, controlled extrovert.

Which is ridiculous, since I'm about as far from controlled as you can get.

"What. Oh. Yes dear...I'll be right there"

 

Wow. My personality has shifted so dramatically over the years.

 

I know what you mean--this is the first RED car I've had. Most of them have been silver or charcoal silver. Then again, I've wanted a red MINI ever since I saw them race back in the late 60's/early 70's.
