Try CooperFlags! (one of the vendors here on NAM.) They make really strong magnets too.


Sorry, for my last silly post - I was at work and I couldn't see the pic matt posted.

Hey guys! Looks like I'm officially in the club now, I picked up my new baby last Thursday. Absolutely stunning color in the sun, I must say.

WOW, love the pixs! Ditto on the BRG look at night comment.
These pictures are motivating me to do some polishing, uh, weather permitting...!

That looks great! Mine is the same color even down to the stripes! Makes it even harder waiting for mine. It should be in NY on Monday, then through the canal, off loaded in CA and then trucked to Denver. I should have it by the last half of April.

The dark stripes look good. I think I like the silver wheels best, too. I am very happy with BRG-it looks almost black. Nice and understated up against the black trim. It does draw frog/lizard associations-when I changed grills my first thought was "happy frog with mustache".

Black rims look Ok on BRG. But darker silver is awesome.

Just gave my new 03 it's first wax... Here she is in front of our Mellow Yellow house. My plan was to keep my BRG for a few months, then trade for a new HzB S or Clubman S... Now, I'm getting attached to my stock BRG... Just wish she was a stick!!

Artful, your MINI is a close cousin to mine! It looks like summer in your photo.
And Mr. Silverblood, I find I really like the acid green stripes on yours.
If I ever get ahead on maintenance I will look into getting a gascap like TOad's. I have the little door, which is not as cool.

Their cousin names could be "Manuel" and "Otto"- mine's a five speed (and I changed the grill-need to update the gallery...)
