Finally! The wait was worth it! Mrs. Peel is here
and I am in looooooovvvveeee!

She's all PW with driving lamps and chrome trim.
(She's one classy dame!) I've never had so much fun
with a car in my life. I posted pics in the Member MINI's
gallery. My husband decided to get a little arty and took
some black and white shots, including some with a fish-eye
lens. I posted the shots today.

Gotta go see if she needs anything in the garage.
She took her first lengthy road trip today - ran like a dream. :razz:

Thanks everyone!
It's an adventure just going to work

the smiles and waves! :lol:

OH, I had to come back by and look at her again! I say AMEN to LOLO's post! I am not a fan of light colored cars at all! but I just love the look of this car!

You have made me stretch my brain and concider getting a light color car!!
:grin:

Part of the reason I wanted a light color was because I live in
Florida. Also, my last car was a deep red - almost maroon &
you could really see every speck of dust. But I had planned to
get BRG until I saw a photo of an all PW at the Hank Aaron
dealership. I was sold! The color was very true (a nice cream -
not a bright white) and I liked the difference of having all one
color. But, hey, I like every MINI I've seen! :grin:

Ohhh I love Pepper White. It doesn't photograph as well as other colors...but in person is stellar. Kudos! :grin:

I've never named any of my cars before, but in homage to Mrs. Peel my black MINI is now going to be called, 'Steed'.

She'd look great with chrome mirror caps.

>>She'd look great with chrome mirror caps.

I had thought of that - I may add them.
I had also thought of the chrome gas cap
or door. Those would be nice touches.

Thanks! :cool:

Congratulations, Mrs. Steed...no apologies this time. :wink: Great looking MINI!
