Pink?!? Oh my. Oh my, my, my...

Thoughts?







Color inspiration:


I actually appreciate them... oddly enough.... wouldn't drive one personally, but I like them... kind of a "safety colour"....

Daughter spotted them on eBay UK, item number 190189411513 for more pics...

Ha ha nice color... I think they should have used more contrast on both... a few key things would make those cars perfect...

and they both need wheels...

but none the less it's great and fun to see more people being daring... too bad it's the same mono chromatic variation over and over...

If my career was doing manicures or hairstyling for a living, then yes, I'd choose that color. All kidding aside, it's a good shade of pink, and way better than the Mary Kay cars, for example.

I'd rock a pink MINI any day. I'd have to get a new one to paint, though - Lewis is way too tough to turn pink.

Very nicely done!

Pink is not my color, but I really like the way they did the dash and the interior trim.

There's no arguing with a pink MINI...for a car like this it's simply a matter of destiny.

Your wife has good taste.




The pink cabrio looks fantastic! Very similar to Stoo's and TFQON's, but not metallic.

I like those pink MINIs :-) and I agree with Tuls that they need some different wheels. There is a somewhat famous metallic PINK Mini that belongs to a NAM user, Tori (TheFutureQueenofNebraska). I believe Tuls helped her out with the amazing job. WOW. It's definitely the best custom paint job I've ever seen on a Mini.

What would you do if MINI did a run in pink?? They do offer some limited edition, short run combos now and again. Would a pink MINI from the factory really sell?

It will never happen.....
I personally LOVE pink MINI's but MINI never wants the car to have a reputation of a "chick car" like a VW bug!

OK, I admit I made one for my daughter. And my son. And my other son. These are, indeed, Pinewood Derby allowable (if I change the Pinecar wheels for BSA wheels). One's Space Blue, one's my own imitation of my Astro Black checkmate... and my other son likes Orange!

Awesome! Looks a little like a MINI-Hummer with those wheels, though.

Remember when Mary Kay actually DID have pink cars? I saw one the other day, and it was just the faintest off-white color. Maybe they complained about resale value?

I saw an old Mary Kay pink Caddy the other day, in excellent condition but maybe a decade-plus years old... weird...
