Oxygen Blue is #1 with Chili Red a close 2nd... if going by "Owners Club" or "Owner's Club" in the Title only, sorted by thread replies.

I took delivery of my DS/W MCS on Wednesday (see post 815 of this thread).

I haven't gotten around to taking/posting any pictures because I've been too busy getting familiar with her....driving her....and explaining to people why I have such a satisfied smile on my face.

Words cannot express just how much I LOVE my MCS.

I don't save too many pics but that is definitely one that I saved. That car looks HOT.

Everything but the left door and rear quarter. The aero kit is new, too. The total repair bill was just over $15k. They should have totaled it, but she's as good as new so I won't complain!

Not sure if any of you remember the 03 Mini (My-T-Maus) which died by fire in 06, but it has been replaced with an 06 Mini (Tonka) and I would like to him to meet his fellow DS Mini's if you don't mind.

Welcome to the DSOC!! I have had Winston since December 2002, Santa brought him, and I still thoroughly enjoy driving, whether it's to the local Store or cross country or just nowhere in particular.

Motor On. Safely.

Flew down to Tampa on 4/29, drove back to Topeka starting at 8am on 5/2, overnight in Clarksville (just dodged the tornado there that night), left Clarksville on 5/3 at 8:00am , arrived 4:30pm in Topeka (only tornado was under the bonnet of my Mini).

Finally tore myself away from driving long enough to go to work and start getting comfortable here at NAM...

2003 MCS DS/B

Haven't decided on a name yet, leaning heavily toward Astra (actually Toto, we ARE in Kansas)...
