It's just for fun .... no matter what answers you give the answer is BLACK, enjoy the game, but feel confident in your very own color choice. You are a distinct individual and so will your MINI be individual and special!! Ciao.

Got black too. I don´t believe the test results at all! everybody gets pure black.

The one color I actually don´t like in coopers is black (though if you happen to have a black car with a white roof you can call him "Chili *****" ) ... or 007 in a tuxedo if you have a more adventurous personality.

I was told I was officially mad and should not be allowed to drive on the roads. It then said a government official was on his way round to detain me. No, I got British Racing Green, and black the 2nd time.

I got pure black as well.

I'd hate having pure black here in the valley of the sun (Phoenix) when it's 118F. That's just stupid :evil:

I don't personally believe that personality is any way connected to color preference. Its all a load of rubbish, just like astrology.

I got black, too, but I also read some of the other color profiles....coulda fit in some other colors as well! Even changed one or two answers just for fun...still got black.

Personally, I'm still thrilled (after 3 months of waiting...only a week or two left!) with my Indi Blue/W which is on the way, but I do like the black/white combo, and might have gotten it if I hadn't read so many posting on how dirty it can get...so thanks to all. I also saw my first Chili Red/Black combo in person the other day...I like it, too!

A friend of mine is ordering a triple black MCS...he's thrilled! So much so, he's probably not sleeping. We all know that story.....

Ok so the first time I took the test, I got black, well I decided to take it again today and this time I answered the complete opposite of what I would normally answer, and guess what, Pure Black again!
I wonder if it's one of those, you chose mostly A's, mostly B's etc. type of tests. Like the ones in women's Magazines?

One question though, were do you see the graph, or look at the other color's personalities? I can't seem to find that anywhere.

Another pure black Doesn't list Velvet
Red for one of the peronality traits but dark enough to look black at night

Took the test changing the answers to many different combinations. All that came up was Pure Black MINI. I'm starting to think it's all they can get there.

all As = "cherry" red (what? no chili's in SA?)
all Bs = PS
all Cs = BRG
all Ds = IB

a mix of A, B, C, D = pure black

after that I got tired of trying to decode for PW, SG, LY......

I got news: after taking the TEST, I got Liquid Yellow

This is one of the colors that was way, way low on my list. I'm thrilled that I at least was able to get a different color!

Mine said liquid yellow, too.

Maybe they ran out of black paint?

>>I think you need to go look at the MINIs again and decide which color is best - but they look different in different lights!
>>
>>I just took the test and it also said I should drive a pure black MINI; maybe that is the only advice - they have lots of black paint left over :smile:
>>
>>I *am* driving a black MC today (white roof) but my soon-arriving MCS is Indi Blue; not certain still that I should not have ordered Chili Red, but I want the Lapis interior ...
>>
>>Good luck with your choice.
>>

'Gotta know...What do you think about Chili RedR with Lapis Blue interior? I have one in transit..to arrive in USA on 2/14. It's an "unallowed" color combination, but I ordered it ...and miniusa says it's beeen built.

I've been asking around, but have received very little feedback. 'Don't know if it's because people think that would be absolutley strange (which works for me) or if no one has seriously been able to (or wants to ) break the colde on how to order "unallowed" combinations.

Your thoughts?

Isn't it amazing how six questions about what we would do at a party can determine (without fail) every intricacy of our personality!?

I got black too! Maybe they have a lot of black paint, or maybe because just about all cars look cool in black. But maybe, they are just having some fun with us.
