Thursday February 17, 2005 was the day my life changed.

I love my new Purple Haze MC. Check it out:

Congratulations, beautiful car! Let the fun begin!

 

Nice! About a month after you got yours I'll have mine..a purple haze/black Cooper S. It's surprising how much a difference the white and black roofs make. With the white the purple looks lighter to me than when it has the black. Either roof its awesome!

 

Purple haze is a great color. I know my husband would get that color if he were buying a MINI. (I have a PW/B). I see you have standard seats which I also have. Are you happy with them? I find them comfortable (I have cloth), but I often think maybe I should've gotten the sports seats.

 

Purple Haze looks different in different light, Bright sunlight it looks purple, overcast/dusk it looks blue rather than purple, at night it almost looks dark dark blue almost black.

 

So far the seats are very comfortable, better than the Suzuki XL7 I just got out of. The leatherette seems nice also, slightly more "sticky" than real leather, but not as much as cloth I suspect.

Don't know only had it for a couple days, 200 miles. Weather has been crappy, so no spirited driving yet, also no long trips to test comfort over a long haul.

I'll give you a review on the Sport Seats in October after my 2,750 mile road trip. Or you could just ask some veteran S driver about them. I went with the cloth option. Got leather in my other car and not happy with the maintenance of it.

 

mielnicki,

Great looking MINI but you could have posted a couple more photos

Purple Haze (Or Black Eye Purple as it is officially known at MINI) is an extremely rare color! Enjoy!

 

Actually, I took mine off the lot. Mini of Pittsburgh has about 50 in stock of all flavors. They had 2 PH MC, mine and another exactly the same except it had the Chrome Line interior, mine has Fog lights.
