Finally got pictures...

Overcast skies and a sunset mean that I wasn't able to do the color justice. Since I can't seem to link my attached files or figure out how to create my gallery:

I saw a BRG with black and white stripes on the highway today. I waved to the guy and he waved back. It's a very nice car, almost as nice as Dark Silver.

*runs away*

I am a proud owner of an 06 BRG MCS! It wasn't my 1st choice, (I was thinking dark silver) but am I glad I got my baby -- it's absolutly gorgeous! There are 4 other MINIs in my hood, and mine is the best looking! The metalic makes it glow (and in NYC, the dings stand out less). I'm glad I went green!

Here's my ticket to the thread. Thought briefly about the two blue shades but in the end just knew it had to be BRG. Ordered it with white stripes but dealer put black. They kinda grew on me.

Get the matching boot stripes at AE. It really makes the Mini look sharp. (Check out the headrest decals also)

So I was awaiting the delivery of an NFR, but it was stalled and a BRG was offered, since it was my first choice I jumped on it. The price was the same too, so there is a bonus. So I will be taking delivery on Friday when taking a long lunch.

Hey Green Goblin,

I know the feeling. When I was 16 I bought a brand new 1990 Honda Civic Si. Was in HEAVEN. Last great car before I picked up the MCS JCW. Check out the pics in my gallery.

Yep, yesterday my work did a little birthday celebration for May and June birthdays, I am standing around for the pictures, and they got a smile on my face by mentioning the MINI I will have on Friday.

My BRG MCS is finally built...now it just needs to get on a boat!!

I think I have only seen one or two other BRG MINI's in Chicago, so mine should definitely stand out!

Went through Bill Jacobs mainly due to proximity, but I also saw a lot of good comments about my MA, so I had no problem dealing with them.

I have checked out the Chicago club site several times, and it definitely looks like a fun time
