Took a few shots with my Nikon D300 of my Sidewalk this afternoon at one of my favorite photo locations:









That third one is my new Vista wallpaper, and looks great.

Lovin' this car, and tomorrow the whole family is taking a trip to Six Flags near Chicago to meet my sister and her family (with her jealous husband). He said that the only ride he wants to go on is the Mini Cooper ride.

I'm thinking about it, too. Actually, I'm desperately trying to get coverage at work so I can go, but it's not looking good.

Cubfan, those are terrific photos (of a terrific car, of course). They would make me want the car if I didn't already have it! Thanks for posting them.!

I'll second that!! Those are awesome photos of the car! I think the malt brown interior gives a better contrast as opposed to your original order of the black panther leather.

One step closer...

Ok...our BRG baby is "Awaiting Transport"...is it common to dream about it? Anyway, we are in a quandary with the last little detail...stripes or no stripes, if yes...white or black? I fancy the stripes a bit due to the history of the Cooper, but an exhaustive internet search has not turned up a BRG cabrio w/ stripes. Either way it will be awesome...just curious to round up some opinions. Have a happy 4th to all on the west side of the pond.

Here's a BRG JCW Sidewalk (that was on ebay last fall for mid $40s) - white stripes (cool mirrors & carbon scoop too).





BTW - I'm lovin' the pics! Nice shots, and MINIs, Cubfan & wng

Well here's a few that I found on Google, personally I would go with white w/black pinstripes.









With British Racing Green I believe it's all about contrast and that my friend is one of the most dramatic colors to contrast against.

Finally Home!

Hello all... Wellington's home! Here are a couple of pics when we picked him up at the dealership. He's already looking a little different, as he got a clear bra, window tint, and new antenna this afternoon. Only downside is that we can't put the top down, or roll the windows down, for two days while the tint cures.

More photos this weekend!

Yeah, we've been doing the ice cream runs this spring and summer, slow cruising to the gelateria or he dairy Queen. Now we're taking walks to counter the effects.

Given it's our first year with Fawkes - DEFINITELY! I'm taking the whole family and we're really looking forward to it!

Anyone else?

I'm also thinking the trip justifies a new Garmin Nuvi!

well i love my black sport stripes, so i'm biased. i've seen the black bonnet stripes...will try to post a pick to help out.....the sport stripes are more subtle. i must say, the white stripes on xbass' post look nice. good luck on your youification!
