Minireefer, the PW Peerage is honored to be the recipient of your very first post.

Welcome to NAM! We know you're going crazy waiting for your MINI, but this too shall pass (eventually).

Since your a definite, prospective PW, I recommend you go to Post#1 in this thread and pick out an unused number to your liking. Grab your place on the list for posterity!

 

Finally got a decent picture of my MINI...

Thanks Max!

 

Can I have #1968? thanks

 

How about #1949 for me?

 

Could I have #244 please?!

 

I love cars from the 20's and '30's. To me, the all PW and the curves of the bonnet recapture the essence of those cars. I love the fact that it looks very classy, almost conservative, but under the bonnet. . . whoo-ee! What a motor! MCS rocks!!!! I like a car that performs, but doesn't scream for attention. (Having said that, I would love a yellow MINI with b/w checks someday as my #2 MINI!)

 

I'm on your page 'mama. The only other MINI besides PW/B that I've really lusted after was a LY/LY MC with some limited, tasteful blackout work that I saw last year in northern VA. Awesome. Almost made me regret PW...but not quite!

 

Very well said! I couldn't agree with you more. I too went with PW/PW so mine would stand out even more. I originally thought I'd get a dark silver, but there are sooooo many in my area that I just couldn't. Plus, once I saw pics of the pepper white (versus the images on the MINI USA configurator) I really dug it. Then, one day I saw a pic of a NAM pepper white owner's car (all white) and it was so hot I decided that was the color for me. I just looked at my car in the parking lot a few minutes ago and smiled thinking, I REALLY MADE THE RIGHT COLOR CHOICE all the way around!

I feel like it is an honor to own a Pepper White.

Cheers-

 

I agree! Even the wording: "Peerage" as opposed to "Club" adds to the honor and prestige.

 

I ordered my PWB MCS on 5/15/08. Could I have #938 ?? Thanks.

Paul

 

Hi drummergirl!
So, now that you've had your PW/PW a whole day, I'm dying to see some photos. It might make my wait a little easier! Hope you're having tons of fun motoring!

 

I must agree with you both. The only other color besides the PW that even causes me to give a second glance is BRG/W. Although I prefer the classic BRG to the new metallic one. I just got back from the U.K. not that long ago and PW is a very popular color over there (thankfully).

 

Might I introduce Vin, our late '07 PW/B Cooper D, to the Peerage?

Can I sign him up, with #411, please?

 

I've wanted a NewMINI since the late 90's when I first heard what BMW was up to. I finally have my first, a 2005 PW MC. To celebrate, I'm asking for #150.

 

Welcome to the club! What are the specs on your new MINI Electron

 

Yeah, that BRG with a sidewalk package. . . drool! Nice to hear PW is popular across the pond. Plenty of mirror caps and paint chip repair kits!

I posted a link from another NAM thread here within the last 10 months, showing a lovely PW MINI in the Buckingham Palace parking lot!

 

Just picked this up today. Glad to be a member of the PW club

 

Thanks TDM,

Its an (as of yet) completely stock 2005, pepper white with black roof and black/black interior. 5 speed, auto climate, computer, with basic 15" wheels. We chose it for its excellent condition and gas mileage (50+ real time). Its most remarkable "feature" is that its a pristine (inside and out) 3 years old with < 20,000 miles.

I'm still learning about options and configurations, especially "you can have this function programmed" like door autolocking. I need a manual for the manual.

 

Here is a link to a pdf of the 2005 manual:

hey there,
the wait will be over before you know it. it felt like forever from when the car went from oxford to the panama canal. but after that is seemed so fast.

the only pic i have so far is one from when i took delivery. here it is. more pics later...

 

oops. the pic wouldn't load in this post because it is already in the "all aboard isolde" post. you can view it there.
cheers-

 

I don't have my MCS yet but can I take #1994? I pick up my car on Tuesday and still deciding whether to name the car Alfred.

 

So... I requested #1949 about 2 weeks ago and it isn't listed yet. Am I missing something? What do i need to do?

 

I can only advise patience. Sometimes it takes a while to get on the official list. We've all got other lives and sometimes the hobby items like this end up on the backburner. As soon as they can you'll see an official welcome post and the main post will be moded to include your number.

It's been awhile since I've said it, so Welcome to all new peerage members, whether your number is official or not.

 

our PW/B mini (Ivy) has determined she would like #214 (that's our minisontop number 2008)
