Add to your list Pepper White as well. I think Velvet Red and Pepper White should also be offered in the MCS.

Yet another reason why the regular Cooper is more appealing than the MCS: More color choices.

Regarding Velvet Red -- it is THE REASON I didn't get an S. After driving both cars -- many times -- there wasn't "that much" difference in power in my opinion -- and on top of that, I wanted the CHROME GRILL, The COLOR, and no HOLE IN THE BONNET.

It was not a bad decision.

Happy Motoring,
Lisa

I concur with Cooper4us regarding the Pepper White. It is one classy color on the Mini.

As for Lisa4peace, you don't need to rub it in!

Bill, glad you looked in. Your car was the basis for my color choice. LOVED yours... (as I mentioned when we talked on the phone. I'm the reporter from Atlanta). In fact, kept it on my desktop for the entire waiting period. Glad you got a chance to see mine...

Happy Motoring
Lisa
