This afternoon I had a choice between munching more paella while posting on NAM or going back to work. Because of an upcoming deadline I submitted to the latter. After snapping gulls, cormorants, egrets and one heron at the edge of my town's miniscule container facility I returned to my dusty car and took a picture to post on NAM. As must be evident from the picture I am not a photographer. I tried Photoshop but none of the effects stuck. Guess I should have read the instructions first.

 

Great MINI! Nice photo too.

 

taking shot of your mini is the best

 

Thats a nice backdrop, and even a nicer MINI..

 

Nice piccie, Mork! Very pretty MINI!

Nice MINI! I almost got my MINI in pepper white, actually had one on order, but switched to jet black last minute. Pepper white is my 2nd favorite!

Your MINI almost looks "super white" instead of "pepper white" in that picture. Which brings me to a question, I know when I was purchasing my MINI in 2004 "super white" was a color not offered then. However, I did see a cooper around my area that was "super white". so my question is, did they offer a "super white" color in 2002 or 2003? or was this cooper repainted?

*when I say "super white", that means WHITE, not an off-white like "pepper white"
(Super White is a toyota color, just using it as a reference)

 

Great picture of a beautiful car...

Thank you all. Very, very kind folks here. I was so happy to see my car soaking up the UVs that I couldn't resist the pic. I can't wait to drive it to SouthCal so it can get a real sunburn--especially now that a dear friend has decided to move to Coronado permanently (more Navy brats) and, besides, I love LA.

STORMCOOPER: I switched to PW/B after seeing JCampos's car posted on NAM. He was nice enough to drop by when I took delivery of my car from the transporter from Classic and I that's when I learned his MINI is completely tricked out. Too bad he doesn't post here anymore.

DJ Konky: My first choice was the reverse (black with a white top and white wheels). I was afraid I wouldn't wash my car so I couldn't get black. I'm not a "car person", but I have been washing my MINI once a week! The paint is the standard ivory-looking PW. As an architect I thought I would have "needed" super white, but PW seems more zen.

Best wishes to everybody.
