I have a yellow one, are there any other colors?

 

There is a BRG with a checkered roof. That one is REALLY hard to find

..and here I sit playing with my LY/W Hotwheels Cooper at my desk. Found it at the local toystore. It was the first one on the hanger. Fate. $0.99.

Are you getting snow? :evil: :evil: Those MINI VAN moms are dangerous in the store parking lots -

 

Sick? Hahahahahahaha. Wait till you actually get the car. Then
see how pissed your GF gets when your late because...you took
the long way, you saw another Mini and wanted to talk to them,
the engine sounded so sweet you just want to keep on driving.
Trouble. Your trouble is just beginning.
Oh. I almost forgot. The interesting thread on MCOL that I was
reading. I just wanted to read a few more posts....
The car is nothing but trouble!!!

 

>>Are you getting snow? :smile:

THANK GOD!!! I thought I was the only one doing this!!!...well, I am in my Target. Also, listen to 2minis...wise words and so, so true!

 

Well, I'm in this club too, my HotWheels MINI is sitting here on my desk as well, right next to my larger scale model that my motoring advisor gave to me when I picked up my car! I searched and searched for one for the longest time, then it seemed out of nowhere, there it was. HAD to have it. I found it at a Brooks pharmacy in Norwalk Ct, along with the Weekly World News with the 1st Bat Boy story .. ugh.. Cant believe I bought that rag! I was having a rough day!

The snow is going to fall overnight, with possibly 3-4 inches by noon tomorrow, so, I dont think it will disturb our plans to meet for the Bear Mountain ride. I hear theyre going to get the most down in the DC area. Be careful Donna!

Yep - right now, estimates are 4 inches on up - at least we get to try out our new tires :smile: :smile:

PS - we are all set on TP, milk, eggs, and bread - LOL! I'm not going NEAR a grocery store today

 

The BRG with checker flag roof is actually a classic Mini...still very cool!

ha
it's the only vechile i own that keeps me away from the great ticket giver

 

at the wallmart in seekonk mass, i found one of those assebly ones, it even came with extra chrome wheels ha! it was a blast to put together. its red with a white top but i painted the top black and painted racing stripes on it. i recently made it into a lamp
check it... 1:18 mini lamp

 

I have found nearly about 15 of the orange ones, i own 1. If you really want one i can pick one up for anyone and ship it to them. No mark up or anything just actual cost plus shipping to you. Just an offer. Also i will begin digging to try to find more colors.

email me if interested: jscobie@wideopenwest.com

 

>>There is a BRG with a checkered roof. That one is REALLY hard to find


My wife found me a yellowone, a brg with checkered roof and another brg with no roof markings. I have not opened any of them.

I found the Maisto 1/18 (you put togther) metal Chile Red/W. This one is really cool, I also have about 10 various size Maisto and 2 Reveal plastic models. I am building one of the reveals to match my VR/W and left the other sealed up. I also have a TYCO remote control MINI at work and play with it at least twice a day. I have MINI models everywhere.

 

Good luck in your quest!

1. ps/b very tiny MINI from the dealer
2. ly/w hot wheels MINI
