I was wondering the same. Are those completely un-masked '07s? Someone more well-versed in long distance MINI discernment needs to pipe up.

The closer car didn't look like it to me, but it's hard to tell with the long shot. The '07s lights wrap further around the outside of the car, so that's what I was trying to see.

The red one is not an 07 (note the turn signal markers out side of the headlamps. But it does have a yellow plate (which usually is on teh rear) so I'm looking now to see if more detail. I have a hunch of possible JCM car. Also note some type of logo along both sides of the roof.

There were a bunch of MINI's on the 'ring today. My favorite were the two that had very different tops--one was orange, and the body was (I think) blue.

I thought this too when I posted the pix! I was doing my morning review of the forums and such while drinking my green tea and took a gander at the 'ring webcam. Just happened to get lucky! Once I saw the first one, a few minutes later I had to look again.

Here is the link:

Doest explain the roof decals though, if only we could tell wether or not the plates said Dunlop.
