I've yet to see another JB in my area...and i dont mind!


My favorite colors are red and black...I'd much rather have a red MINI and black it out. However, I happened across a Jet Black MINI, so I Red it out!

I sure wish CHKMINI would get in touch with me so that I can figure out if his MINI will be in my driveway in the future!

You are right DesertMINI21 I have to wait! I am going to hold out a get a Black on Black 05 S. If I buy another color I will regret it later. When I buy a MINI it will be Black on Black. It does not matter if it is this Black MINI or another! I am patient when it comes to my Customers/Friends why not be patient and wait for the right Black MINI. I HATE BEING PATIENT! Its easy at work, but in my personal life its another story! DesertMINI21 you should be a teacher or something, because you reminded me to be patient! YOU ROCK DesertMINI21!

Black is the best...




Especially if you can pull off the smokescreen effect:


And even more so with a nice bit of engine work:


FWIW, I will never sell my baby....

Everytime I attend a MINI event here in VA, they always gather around my 05 JB MINI Cooper S. I can't say that I blame them, JB is just one awesome color that when kept clean and polished, I don't think any other color compares.

The easy part for me is mine is garage kept. My wife won't drive it without a wipe down for dust before and after a drive. Even though the before wipe down is a bit redundant.
