just picked it up today. I've been looking forever, and finally found the one. and it feels like the wait paid off. I love it so much.

though I hated the colour until I saw it up close, though it was a little girly. I think it's amazing now.

the 5 hour drive home was long, but so fun.

2005 Cooper S
49,000km

pay no attention to the winnibego in the background... it was at a rest stop on the highway.

 

Beautiful MINI!! Congrats to you, and happy motoring!!

 

That is one fine looking car! Well done!

 

Nice MINI. I was also a little uncertain about that color, but now I do kind of like it. It is a very unique color. Congrats

 

Great Picture, happy motoring in your new ride

 

thanks guys!

it was such a blast to drive home, I've never been so thankful for such a long drive.

pretty sure I'll have lots of questions to come, but right now I'm just friggin happy.

 

Electric blue is not a girly color. It's the best color.

It seems to change hue with the weather, and is truly stunning when washed and waxed.

 

Glad you are having fun with the mini!

 

None of the Mini Coopers are girly - they're just plainly awesome especially when detailed out - congratulations - you are now in the most amazing group of car owners anywhere!

 

Great looking MINI! Love the color combo.

 

Congratulations!!! I had to get rid of my silk green/white top as well. Just too girly and WAY too many "cute car" comments. Upgraded to the dark silver/black combo. Much more guy like for me.

 

I went classic with British Racing Green and white top and wheels. Girls usually either find it "cute" or they "love it", guys either find it "cool" or "awesome." I've gotten a couple "gay" comments or questions like "why a MINI?" Over the years my response has pretty much just come down to "I f*ckin love the car and its fun to drive." In all honesty, if your enjoying your car as much as I am, that's all that matters. Congrats!

 

It doesnt matter what color MINI you have. The fact of the matter is that you have a MINI and not a lot of other people do. The difference between us and them is that they buy a car just because, we buy a MINI for many reasons.

 

Congratulations on your new MINI! I share in your excitment - happy motoring!!!

 

this is true. and I've been looking for months trying to find what I was looking for. after coming across a lot of duds, I'm finally here.
I don't really understand people who go to a car lot wanting a car, and walk away with something they got convinced into.

I get a lot of looks, there's nobody else in town with a Cooper S (it's a small town) but there is one other Cooper. I like the attention it draws to itself :P

 

Ya i personally would want an electric blue, i love my black and checkered roof, but everytime i see an eb im like damn, thats a tight color. Wait till u get bit by the mod bug, then ull really be having fun.

Nice car man enjoy
