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!

I like those stripes. I also like the other person taking a picture. Nice touch! 
I really can't decide about stripes; I've seen some off-centered ones I like, but with a black roof, I am just not sure how well any would fit in.

i like these ones too (yes they're the same) how they go all the way to the end of the hood, but that's for the regular cooper, and i like the s....
which reminds me, what is overall better, the s or cooper? i can't decide!
can't you make a regular cooper nice with a sport package or something? opinions please!

I use my MINI as a commuter car mostly, and the regular Cooper has more than plenty of power to get the job done. I also get great gas mileage (averaging 39.5). I know that the Cooper S has a ton of power, but the plain ole ordinary Cooper is no slouch.

Joining up
Hello All,
Just picked up Mandrake on the 17th and I am very excited to be here.
These are just a few quick picks until we can do a proper shoot.
PS.My wife does not like th name so how about Stanley or Hitchcock?

my dream mini is...
BRG/ B with black bonnet stripes
cold weather/premium packages
DSC, auto transmission (can't drive a stick) rear fogs, and 17'' crown spoke
center arm rest, cream color line, piano black dash, comfort access, leather MF wheel
only big problem is that it's too expensive at 28,550, any suggestions to things i don't need that could save me money?
long live BRG!

wow, i am unsure whether to get the white bonnet stripes/roof/mirrors vs. the black. the black looks more sporty, and the white looks like more like a mini. i was unsure about the black because i was afraid the stripes were not going to be visible as much, but your AWESOME looking mini has convinced me black is awesome.

I was hoping someone would know that. It's my favorite film
Not significantly...But when you said Stanley then Hitchcock (S & H letters did it I guess), I also thought of Sherlock Homes --> Arthur Conan Doyle. And Doyle sounds classy, so.....!I like Dougal, Preston, Errol, Pippin, Malcom, and Greeley. -- all names I've seen on NAM. ANd some had some great license plates to go with them. I like the creativity around here.
