Your Favorite Mini

Post the best looking Mini you've ever seen, yours or someone elses. I don't have a Mini yet, but i'd like some ideas of how awesome they can look.

Thanks!

Aside from the fact that this is my former love, my recently sold 2003 Cooper, I do think its gorgeous



The Pink ladies are obvious contenders for favorite MINI.

Theres a Purple Haze around here that I have a mini crush on. I'll have to find a pic...

I think this MCS (which is currently for sale) is stunning. I hope it goes to a good home!

Dang, I wish I had money now. I'd definately take care of it .
Gotta wait until college gets done. It'll be a graduation present to myself.

The third one with the corvette is Sid's Msfitoy which has been my favorite sind I first saw it at the Dragon last year... The detail on that car is exceptional...... Sid has superb taste IMHO

Good topic.

I got a pure silver / black MCS. It was exactly what I wanted at the time.

Since then, though, I've paid more attention to other MINIs and played around online and so forth. Next MINI, I think I'm going to get red with black/black with black bonnet stripes and some chrome. I like PS/BLK because it's conservative but I feel like I could use some...flare.

I also like the additional front lamps some MINIs have.

And I totally want something for my missing dashboard switch. :( Rear fog lamp? And maybe the built in navigation computer. And maybe go convertible. And maybe buy a second MINI while keeping my first one so I can mod the first one and have a second one to drive in case the mods ever give me trouble. One hard top, one convertible!

Excuse me, I need to go...take care of something.

They are Axis Reverb's. Nice wheel, but the hollow spokes make them a PITA to clean. I should have kept them for my S.

What say you? Conservative? Perhaps you need to give it a bit of flare then. Look at MSFITOY's MCS on this page, check out my old MC on my gallery, or better yet check out the pure silver thread. Just my opinion and I respect yours, but I was a bit shocked to hear PS called conservative, I love it, especially contrasted with black/and or chrome. Mmmmm....PS.....

larkin- i like your ride

i graduated from the modded j-car crowd a couple of years ago so i
find these simple (stock to close-to-stock) MINI's better. too much is
just too much for me. i think custom colors are cool though.
