Although i've been dying for an EB S, PW/B with red/black seats has been growing on me hard.

But i really want a black/pink MINI

WOW! That's like hearing myself! What hurts is that those were the 3 options I thought I had to have.

After 1 yr And 7000, mls I still have'nt figured out the auto climate control, so I just use it like a manual unit. I never open the sunroof (to noisey) nor do I ever look up (obviously). And the only problem I ever had with the entire car was a rippeling effect in the passenger side leather seat cushion. Had it replaced under warranty but now it's not as tight as the driver side.

Put me down for all PW for my next MINI, only because I can't get it in my favorite color.....CLEAR!!!

This was my 04. My next one will probably be solid PW.

I still much prefer PW/B over PW/PW. MINIs look better with contrasting roofs.

I recently faced this decision while selecting an '06 and chose ds/ds with Shelby Cobra stripes on the bonnet and boot to replace a ds/w with standard white bonnet stripes.

If it were today...

BRG/W, leather, and no checkers... will have to think of something else to decorate with, maybe RAF theme...

At this moment I would go with an S, but I'm gonna wait and see what the MCS is like post supercharger (I'm fond on my mpg, but wish I had an S at rallies)

I already have a Cooper S so if I were to get another MINI then it would be a Cooper.

Pepper White with black roof, chrome line exterior and black bonnet stripes.
Premium, sport, convenience, and cold weather package.
Black leatherette seats, chrome interior, and piano black dash
HID headlights, sport suspension plus, rear fog light and H/K stereo.

If I buy another Mini it will be a Porsche RS. I love my Mini but once is enough.

I don't get that. They paint the roofs that color white, so why not the whole car?

My next one will some version of black and I will have it repainted a bea-u-tiful, vivid, true BRG.
El Kabong, is not going anywhere, however. I just love my PW/B!

I still haven't seen that in the flesh. I toyed with that idea, but the silver roof was just too tempting. Now, I just might do it, and then run a nice wide silver stripe down it or put a silver checkered roof on it.
