As many of you know Mark has his 2007 Cooper S. I have been whining since he got this that I need on too. Yesterday, we went to look at the new Clubman at Classic Mini. To no avail. He would not buy me one.
So today as we are driving by Classic Toyota what do I behold.............but a 2004 Pepper White Cooper with Red and Black interior. A few minutes later my wallet is empty but I have my OWN MINI!

 

Congrats ... I just picked up an 05 MCS 17k miles last week at BMW Cleveland

 

Welcome to the obsession

 

That is just fantastic!!!! Can't wait to see it. Pictures, we need pictures.

Has Marks car come out of the hospital yet?

 

Pepper White w/Red & Black. Will there be some RED mirrors caps in your future? I'll just sit back and wait for Allen to reply.

 

Allen is partial to orange.

 

Red inside with Orange caps -- URGH!!!

 

"a few minutes later"? You got out of a car dealership with a car in a few minutes?

Congrats on the purchase.

 

Picture, I will get them tomorrow. As for Mark's car yes it has come home and is in the safety of the garage until Spring

 

It really was a few minutes, drove the car, bought the car, hardest part was trying to decide if we should keep or trade in the minivan

 

Congrats on the new Mini Cooper Rebecca! It might not be as fast as Mark's, but IMO the older R50's and R53's are more fun and go-cart like to drive.

BTW, how did Mark's repairs end up after the small accident? Didn't you mention he was getting the bumpers replaced with the aero front and rear bumpers?

 

Welcome and congrats on the great MINI! I am sure there was much debate on the MINI van once you drove the MINI. Happy Motoring!

 

I actually keep thinking about trying to find some Velvet Red Caps, but if I had a red interior I would definitly go with red caps and some red Viper Stripes. But my question is what color is the roof?

 

It is all white with a sun roof! I am thinking red stripe from boot to bonnet, going down the passengers side. The red mirror caps are a great idea. Everyone at work day, keep asking how you impulse buy a car. They just don't understand the power of a MINI.

 

Congrats ! Finally, your very own MINI !!!

Now, get rid of Mark. He wouldn't buy you the one you wanted, get rid of him. What good is he ?!?!

 

I have been thinking the samething for years however I will need someone to wash it for me, so I guess I will keep him.

 

Well on another note, I just got back from visiting my vinyl guy! I love having a vinyl guy. He suggest that we do one wide stripe and to thinner stripes down the center. Of course the stripe will be Red. So as soon as we have a nice enough day to clean the car, I will go and get my stripes. Woo Hoo day two and mods in progress. GOTTA LOVE A MINI

 

^ No Dummy.

 

Oh heck, Mark's not such a bad guy. Just remember to keep a short leash on him.

 

I want to meet this vinyl guy, maybe meeting a person would get me to commit to something Can't wait to see how it all turns out!

 

There is a very good one here in town Allen. Ask Aaron who it is. Sorry I don't remember.

Anyway my Hyper Blue stripes look great & the White ones on top are just killer too.

 

I work in the sign business and this is the guy we use. He does great work. He is the one who got the CarboTech vinyl on Mark's windshield. It took forever but it is perfect. It was funny when Mark's car got in the accident the first thing he ask was if the windshield got damaged. Once he knew it was fine he ask about Mark and the rest of the car.
