No problem...love those wheels what are they?

I'm planning on either buying some rims sometime in the future or just having mine powder coated black...im think that latter and sooner but I may just leave a drop in the future to lessen the gap between the wheens

Thanks
The wheels are Mille Miglia HT3's, 18X7 with 215/40/18 tires. I belive the wheels are no longer produced but work with the 08's TPMS.

new here...

Hey Guys... just wanted to say hello to all the fellow PW afficianados out there.

Just got my PW 08 MCS 2 weeks ago and have been having a ball driving it (1100 miles already!). Since I got it as a commuting car, I thought I wouldnt need much in the way of options. So I only got a premium package and an automatic transmission. Now I wish I would have spent a little more because I am having way more fun it it than I thought I would.

Is number 951 available? See you all in the L.A., Orange, and Riverside counties of California!

request #276

Finally decided on a number...US 276 being the closest twisty, it'll probably be the most frequently motored by my MINI as it is now by my husband's MINI.

I've really enjoyed the pics of all your classy PW MINIs, really helps to ease the wait until I can see my own! Also now I can see what wheels look good on them.

My MINI will get a name after I take delivery.

I ordered a PW/B MCa with Premium pckg, Multifunction Steering wheel, Xenons, DSC, Sport suspension, Park distance control, Fog lights, Cream white color line and English Oak. Got the 15 in. rotator spokes with performance runflats for now, once those tires wear out I'll get some aftermarket 16 (or perhaps 17) wheels, to be chosen later. Probably will use the stock 15s for winter tires, though we don't get much winter here.

I don't find the sport seats comfortable for long trips, and was disappointed that I couldn't get cloth on standard seats. I guess standard seats are really so much of a minority here in the US, that they only offer leatherette and 2 types of leather for them. Delayed ordering until I figured out what to do. We've always had cloth seats or covers, neither of us can stand the feel of either hot or cold leather/ette. Since the car will be a beach & lake road tripper, I didn't want to get leather to worry about, so I finally decided to get leatherette and Wet Okoles. I'm thinking of black with white piping since I like the look of the lounge leather.

Anyway there's my MINI, still waiting on a production date but pretty sure I'll be in week 10. Need to work on a his/hers signature - something to do while waiting!

I don't know where you'd get a Mini United 2007 mirror cap now unless someone puts one up on ebay.

A few members of the PW owners club have already jumped on the oppurtunity, but in case anyone has missed it...I'm now offering some Pepper White MINI shirts. Now you can represent the Peerage of the Pepper White wherever you go. It has always been one of my favorite MINI colors.

Nice shirt! You know what would be sweet? If enough PW owners got together maybe we could get our own shirt made...something like that except instead of 'Stance' it would say 'Pepper White Peerage' or some such.

Unless I missed it, it looks like 1964 (the year that Paddy Hopkirk won the Monte Carlo rally) is still available...

I don't have my PW MCS yet (picking it up Satuday - yeah!!!!!) Can I apply for conditional membership until then?
