Going Crazy! How do people deal with the wait and remain sane?

MC BRG will be here soon! She is not named yet and it is driving me crazy. I am thinking "Eunice". Any opinions?

Thought I would throw my pics up, although I hate my stripes. the white metallic is rusting and I am looking at replacing them. Not sure what I want. I know I want something really different than the standard black. Any suggestions????

Do you have the gold interior. I was thinking a yellow color, but my wife says that will make me look like a green bay packer fan (cheesehead), but i've only seen one car with it. Liked it a lot, but it had a white top, compared to my black top.

Thanks! I doubt it's the same car though, this car was sold at Rasmussen Mini (Wilsonville/Portland Oregon), an older couple traded it in on a new Acura TL, 8700 miles as of this post. Even still had the sticker on the windshield warning to be careful about getting small pets and children stuck in the sunroof and windows.

Can someone point me to a couple of good pictures of Tuscan Leather and Fluid Silver with Cream Line interior shots? I have this car on order and would LOVE to really see what I am getting.

I wouldn't mind seeing a picture either. It is weird ordering a combo sight unseen. I have the English Oak, Tuscan Leather, and Cream. Pics are welcome.

In my defense - Eunice hasn't arrived yet. She is still basking in the sun in the Pacific.

No, my interior is black. The whole car is BRG, black and gold.

Under the best of circumstances, I would say sleep.

Does anyone have an recommendations on what interior options would look Really Freakin' Awesome on a BRG/W MC? I'm in the planning and budgeting phase and am having a really hard time choosing between the Chili Red and the British Racing Green.

I hadn't considered any color other than green until I saw how sharp the CR looked with the red cloth/leather sport seats and the red color line, but there's no corresponding option for BRG (and probably with good reason).

I wasn't really impressed with the black lounge leather seats (too $$$, didn't like the white piping), but I didn't actually sit in them (just peered through windows on the lot). Other than that I'm open to suggestions.

welcome to the land of too many options. Not that it's a bad thing... just so hard to make a final decision. BRG wasn't actually on my original choice... but after i saw it I change my mind. I actually like the lounge leather but was questioning the piping too. Go for what you like... you cant make a bad decision (well most of the time).

BRG was my only choice. Since the Mini Coopers were released again in 2002, I knew when I could afford to buy one it would be in BRG. The hard choice was black or white top.

A rainy night before I placed my order solved that. After seeing how dirty the white top got, I knew that I wanted the black.
