TulsaMINI that is one sweet ride!

Here's mine, she's an o3 IB/W Cooper, bone stock! No upgrades, no mods. Lifer - meaning I'll own this til I die. I decided not to mod her when they retired the color as I have seen many a classic I would love to own that are bone stock also.

Oh I did do a mod I took the front plate holder off!

It must be said, of course, that Indi Blue is the most perfect blue of all. I mean, isn't that that the color they decided to show of to John Cooper himself??? I can just hear the conversation at Rover/BMW, "Alright guys, we need a blue...it must be in the finest traditions of Minis and it must turn heads across the planet!" And off they went to their little paint buckets. I believe Zeus and Aphrodite were also involved, but that's another story.

I confess that I have taken BMW promotional photos and even one of Frank Stephenson's original MINI concept drawings and Photoshopped them over to Indi Blue as a sign of my own personal devotion. And then there's my Indi Blue shrine. (see gallery)

Indi Blue under a glorious Texas sunset is truly amazing!!! You can see God smiling back at you and saying, "It's better reflected off Indi Blue, isn't it??
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And speaking of that reflection, for all the naysayers out there:


There are none better!

Here's a couple of my Ollie: First one is the day I brought him home. The second is the most recent photo--taken yesterday on the SCMM Casino Run by a fellow (infinitely wise) IB/W MCS owner. There were 3--yep, 3 OTHER --IB/W MCS's on the run yesterday. Good taste is contagious.

Here is Blubelle. Pic is a couple of years old, but she hasn't changed much.



One of the first IB MCSs made (9/02). I waited an extra three months just to get IB on an "S". Worth every minute of the delay.

I have to say, the best time of day is late, almost twilight, eh? The subtle color variations that come out of IB are awesome! Is that black? Is it a deep purple? No matter, it's gorgeous!!!!

Finally....after nearly 3 years of waiting for my MINI, I finally have it and it's home!

Specs:

03' MCS

Indi Blue/Black

50,000 miles, with oil changed every 6 months

loaded specs minus Sat NAV and antrathic headliner

Premium, Sport, and Cold packages

Panther Black Leather

Anyway, HERE:







No holes for a license plate....and I'm not putting one there! Haha!














Dual Panaramic Sunroof!




Hope you like! I had to take out a $6k loan (car was $17k) and my parent's said NO MODDING until It's paid for! Insurence is running me $1,200/year. I'm planning on doing an ATLA CAI and short-throw for my b-day!

Edit* This is how I recieved the car, the guy's wife drove it and he is a car freak! He had a Z06 Vette, Thunderbird, and an old Porsche Carrera sitting in the drive way! This MCS is completly stock, and I forgot engine pics! :(

Edit* And if anyone doesn't know, I'm only 16, so this is quite an accomplishment! I finally get something for working my butt off for the past 2.5years of my life!

Motor On! I copied this from the new owner's thread, so you might have already seen it.

-Cody

(Edit* I also modded my own "Indi Blue owners club" logo. TSR53 was kind enough to make the Indi Blue owners club, but I added my own little touch to it. If you would like it, please ask him before copying it. As you can see, I have an IB/B MCS...so I wanted a black roof/mirrors. Well, I added those and I also added the little spoiler which I love too).

Well done Cody, car looks great for an '03....one suggestion, get thee to a hardware store and get thee some Denatured Alcohol to get rid of the warning stickers on the visor....just take care that you don't drip it on anything else and...don't drink it There are a few threads around on this topic.

Welcome aboard!

Well, here's my Nittany...

The picture is old but she looks pretty much the same. Can't post a new picture of her because she's been in and out of the dealership for service so much the past 5 months, that I haven't spent much time with her.

Thanks! David Bunting made Bruiser look really good!

Welcome, Juan! I was wondering when you'd pop in!

And Jerseygirl, I've seen Nittany on your website. I love your painted dash and have been wanting to do that for so long!

I <3 my Indi Blue baby!

Hey Angie, thanks for the welcome.

I have a 2003 Indi Blue/White MCS that was built in September 2002. Like several others, I wanted an MCS in Indi Blue, but this wasn't available in the 2002 model. Therefore, I ordered my car towards the end of July 2002 and it was delivered to the dealer (Long Beach Mini in California) in the last week of October 2002. The car was built to my "specs", and I paid the sticker price. That was sweet, because all the other dealers at that time were getting a substantial premium.

There's not much that is stock on the car anymore, but the Indi Blue/White color pattern is still "true blue".

Hey ChocolateAZ, I snapped this pic of your MINI while at the Las Vegas Speedway during AMVIV. Hope you like it.



That's my Indi Blue next to yours, don't remember whose the one behind you belongs to.
