New PePpEr wHiTe owner here! I'll post pics when my new 2013 comes back from the MINI body shop (lost my windshield to a stone kicked up from a car ahead of me). It's a Green Park edition so I'm a bit of an odd duck here. The order got screwed up and the green bonnet stripes were never installed - so while I wait for them, I get to see if I like the more "pure" naked pepper white bonnet ("hood" here in the states). Who knows - when the stripes come in, I may just pick them up and put them in a drawer.

So how do you join this club?

While I can't answer your question, I will be pick-up my PW/B Baker Street edition tomorrow night. I was at the dealership on Saturday and saw my first green park, If I had seen one prior to ordering the baker street it would have made my choice much more difficult.

So joining the ranks or Pepper White is easy!
Just pick your favorite and post your best pic.
Looking forward to seeing all the new members.

I joined the ranks of the MINI owners (a 2012 PW) about a month ago and have just now found this thread. It's the first time I've ever really l.o.v.e.d. a car.

If #1972 still isn't taken... I'd love for it to be mine

It's not the greatest photo of her but one of her first. <3

Back in the fray

I haven't posted in here since 2009-ish. After a few years of BMWs and an '03 BRG Cooper S, I am coming back to the peerage. Keep #05 open for an '06 Cooper S. I'll show pics once the deal is done.

I have recenty acquired a 2010 Pepper White JCW and would like to join the Peerage list. Any available number will be OK.

My previous car was an Eclipse Gray MCS but I could not resist the JCW having decided that Pepper White is the best colour.

I will post pictures when the weather improves here in the UK.

Hyde Park Edition here: MINI "Cocoa-per" S whom we just call Cocoa

Where the Green Park green in the stripes the Hyde park has chocolate; but where the Green Park has chocolate (stripe outline) the Hyde Park has green. This is both on the bonnet and the side stripes. Also, the Hyde Park has a chocolate roof and the Green Park a green roof. I must say, tho, that the chocolate is so dark people often think it is black.

The Polar Beige / Carbon Black interior. Note that the color line along the dash comes as Pepper White in the package.

66.6 checking in! Don't think I've been to the new Official Peerage page yet. Thank you, MiniAJ for creating the new page and bouncing people here!

My '08 MC after a major facelift (which came after a minor accident).

It's been a while

Can't believe I haven't been back here in over a year.

I see the number I wanted was taken, so how about 007? My MINI is named Moneypenny because my license plate has a 007 on it.

Yeah, I realize that Bond never drove a MINI, but I like to think he might have in his free time. You know - to be inconspicuous.

Besides, our MINIs are built by BMW, so it's close enough.

Just to be on the safe side, I have the Austin Powers theme song AND the James Bond theme song on my MP3 player.

Albie......looks nice. Its, unfortunate that it had to come as the result of an accident though. I always thought the black bridgespokes looked good on your car. "Happy New Motoring"!

Thanks! As they say, all's well that ends well. And as for the Bridgespokes, I used to hate putting them back on in the winter when they were stock silver. Now that they're black, I enjoy my winters.

Lurking future member here; PW/CR JCW Clubman ordered back in November, should be somewhere in production right now. I notice that many folks request a particular number when they join, and I bet that most of those have a special meaning or story behind them. A few are mentioned with the request; anybody else care to share the special significance of your number?

I'll start by requesting #957 - which is the serial number of my other "go fast" machine:

Mine is pretty simple: My Ducati ST4s has the desmoquattro 996 engine in it. So my PPW number is, like yours, homage to my other go faster machine! :-)

They have roughly equivalent top speeds. Despite swoopy fairings, motorcycles are just barely more streamlined than bricks. The Clubman's CoD is 0.36, while a typical sportbike's is ~0.65 -- more like a truck! So that awesome power to weight ratio and three second zero-to-sixty ends up losing to cars at high enough speeds where wind drag is the limiting factor.
