Hard to do at -40 F or C

 

My favorite imaginary MINI would have to be the pic of Ryephiles in "Chili Red" ... If they could reproduce that color I'd sell mine in a second.

 

i agree...Black cherry...Great color...great kool-aid too!

 

Thanks for throwin Belou into the mix ken... Your MINI is like the older brother since it has more pep..hehe

I think that everyone has a unique MINI and each gets a in my book.

But if i had to choose some MINIs, here are a couple that stick out to me:

Msfitoy:


El Diablito Rojo:


s1monlm: (just cuz you have the bbk I want)


kenchan:


I dont know whos car this is..but i remember it being the cleanest B/B:


bradb:

 

Nice

 

This has been (still is?) a great topic. Especially useful for those of us who are on the wait list to order. I wonder if one reason it has been so difficult to name a fave is because it is not easy to decide if the choice should represent a platonic MINI or a pragmatic MINI.

Budget, noise, etc., notwithstanding some of us might not be able to live with one of the more extrovert MINIs. Yet one of them might represent an abstract ideal (or an ideal for those who have more than one car and enough space to work on them). Although less emotionally charged the more subtle MINIs might be more suitable as daily drivers. The choice might also depend on one's age, friends and where one lives. Being relatively new to NAM I look upon the examples I have seen as models for what my car might be.

My MINI would be my only car. While I hope it will be visually pleasing I would not want it to attract attention. And while I want a fun performance car it must contend with uneven pavement and vicious urban traffic. I park in the same garage with 200 other cars--the fancier ones have been vandalized. I live near the center of a crowded city and encounter all kinds of pedestrians. I walk one block to work and my driving is strictly utilitarian (perhaps that will change with a MINI).

I think my choice of fave NAM MINI would be based on its being versatile enough to drive to or arrive at any function without ceremony. While I admire BradB's, Ryefile's, and El Diabolito, I would worry about driving one of them to some places I must go. So I think for overall balance between bravura and stealth I would opt for a car similar to kenchan's. I know there are others in NAM I have not yet come across (being a relative newbie), but I admire the way kenchan's has been spec'd.

These were posted by 2percooper (thank you) and possess the qualities I admire (ok, BradB's too which is so distinctive). But now that I look closely at the photos I realize how meticulously detailed and how eyecatching they are. I would choose any of them for my fave. But I doubt my own MINI could ever be so nice. I do admire them though.

 

I agree! That B/B MINI is the best looking one! If I have seen this car before I ordered mine I would get exact same thing.
