Why, thanks. I do like those wheels, and the Yokohamas that are on them are in really great shape too.

Thanks. I was just browsing Tire Rack when I saw them, and there was so much want. They're not the lightest wheels but I love the look.

We don't have a MINI dealer here, so there's only a handful of them in town. This was the first electric blue I've seen.

I looked into an '03 electric blue, and that color has totally grown on me. I dig it. I also missed out on a purple haze, which seems to be more rare.

+1 the Purple Haze ( black eyed purple ) most Cooper ( NON S ) , Cool Blue and Hot Orange from the convertible. Silk Green from the old R50 early days. Velvet Red Metallic from 2002+, and Solid Gold Metallic seem to be the rare ones.
For the interior Emerald Green and Tartan Red are very rare.

all those two tone seats/interiors are cool. I wonder why more people don't opt for them.
