Awesome! I wondered when I'd be able to get a BRG Owner's Club Badge.

Here's a pic of my BRG MCS... I'll be picking it up tomorrow!

I have yet to see a brg/brg. It might be the rarest combination of all. Anyone?

We BRG owners are a conservative group. Has anyone done anything really wild with BRG as a base?

I think of all the color combinations and wild ways MINIs were tricked out at the Dragon, and then realize none of em were BRG.

Don't get me wrong, I love my BRG, but it seems there is very little to be done with it, interior or exterior, if you have a wild streak. I suppose my roof could be considered a bit 'out there,' but note that even there the guy is conservatively dressed and the color palate is quite muted.

Has anyone seen anything truly wild done from a BRG base? By that, I mean wild things that work.

Another British Racing Green Owner

As a soon to be 2nd owner (late June, early July) I thought I would throw this in for the heck of it. My first ever car was a 1955 Chevy sedan that had been repainted a dark metalic green. Not really BRG but close. I have always had a fondness for that color since owning that car.

I gave very serious thought to pepper white as 5 of the last 12 cars that I have owned were white. It was at the time only for Cooper's so I bought a BRG/W MCS in '03. The choice of color was not that hard to make once I saw that white was not available.

Again I had to think long and hard about ordering a pepper white one after selling my '03 but thankfully common sense, good judgement and old fashioned stubborness pervailed, why change a good thing, and I ordered another BRG/W MCS.

Now I just have to wait for the car to be delivered.

Perhaps its because BRG is such a great color that it needs no enhancement!

I've seen a cool pin stripe that runs from the side marker to the back. Somewhere near the gas cap it say R50 and then the pin stripe continues.

A good bud of mine, long past had a brg mg. So it was a tribute thing for him. Still, on this british racer the color is most appropos. Even a "plain" MC looks Fabulouis in BRG!
