My New All Pepper White MC!

Just picked up my '05 MC CVT from Sandia MINI in Albuquerque. This one is every bit as fun as my '03 MCS. Can't wait to test the limits of the Sports Drive, but I must get past the break-in period first.

(I highly recommend Sandia MINI. Southwest Airlines flies to Albuquerque for cheap, and the 450 miles back to Tucson was easy.)

DID, my thoughts exactly. I think the chrome package, along with the PW roof, make this car look fantastic!

I always liked EB, and would have ordered the Cooper in EB had it been available. But it wasn't, and I was force to pick from the Cooper colors. Much to my surprise, I fell in L-O-V-E with Pepper White. I gotta say "Thank you MINI" for not offering EB in the Cooper, otherwise I wouldn't have this absolutely gorgeous car. :smile:

Your Cooper is the 180 degree opposite version of mine. I have a blk/blk cooper that came with holies. I absolutely love your car, looks clean and classy. Enjoy it!

I always get compliments on my Pepper White S. Its pretty much a very rare color for some reason. So most people ask "it came like that?"
