Just came across this group, so I thought I should make my mark!

I never would have thought to order this particular color combo, but the sales manager of my local dealership did! And since I waited until after Nov. 5th to decide that I wanted to trade up from a CVT to a JCW, I was stuck with what was on order or in stock. Luckily, it ended up being a great color combo!

I present to you my British Racing Green with Silver roof & racing stripe!


(While I love this picture, I really need to get a few pics of her in daylight, so you can really see the silver. At night, it looks sorta whitish.)

Any others with this particular combo?


-Paul!

Huh, so there are a few of us!

I checked out your pics in the other thread. Cool mirror caps! Also, when I got my MINI, there was similarly equipped JCW with what sounds like your interior. Very cool! I think I even like it better than what I got! Alas, the exterior was CR/R. I'm personally not a fan of CR at all. :( Otherwise, I would have likely purchased the one on the floor!

I'll throw my hat in the ring. One of the last '02 models built, bought new, drove into the ground and it's still going. Moxie's been all over the country so far, save for the Northeast - and I think I'm planning that this coming summer.. I like BRG so much that I took my dash apart and had them painted BRG. My dash has been relighted to green as well, I'm that sad. (And yeah, I don't like chrome, so..) Cheers! Fox.

Oh! And as a side note, if you're looking for a good pool ball to put on your shifter, and have done the Dragon's Tail, these are neat:
http://www.fivestarbilliards.com/Mer...duct_Code=3628

I don't have them, nor are affilated with that site. Just ssaw them and thought that'ds be an interesting shifter.

Me.

Brg Is The Best!

Put mine on the list of BRG/W MINI's! I love the color and when I ordered her, I couldn't imagine having any other color than BRG. Now, however, there a a whole lot of colors that have a lot of appeal to me!
POWER to the MINI's!

30k Miles baby!

Today I officially reached 30k on my MINI. I got it when it had just under 25k miles and 6 months later, I've driven over 5k miles.

No pictures, but I sure love my BRG/W '07MCS. I picked up Kermit (aka Bugs), on St Patrick's Day. Perfect day!
