On the way home from work I stopped off at Mini of Sterling to check out a Laser Blue MCS that recently arrived there. I too ordered a laser blue (which, sadly, won't arrive until late June/early July) and just wanted to make sure I made the right choice. I absolutely did. I really really like that color alot. For me it was the best of the S colors. HOWEVER, nearby was a Nightfire Red Cooper. OMFG!! I am in deep passionate love with that color! I think it may be the hottest/coolest whatever term you wish to use, car color I've ever seen. While I'm still glad I ordered an S, I am so envious of those who have the option of going for the NFR.

 

I would be envious too,..but I AM GETTING AN NFR COOPER!!! WOOT!!

Hey! Us guys/gals waiting for our cars have little to cheer about. So, I take every chance I can to hoop and holler.

 

really? i am still having doubts as i have yet to see one and have been calling dealers to see if one has arrived for stock...but nope seems i will be THE FIRST IN MIAMI...thats a good and bad thing...:impatient

 

I haven't seen one in person, but from the photos, I've been quite jealous of that color. If I ever need to get my car repainted: Nightfire Red with a Pure Silver roof...

 

Hehe Muse, they are real. Rare right now, but real enough.

Mine should be in my hot widdle hands in less than a week.

 

Ah, there goes my fantasy of being 100% unique, I had the only North American NFR in existence for about 5 minutes there!

Muse-can't wait til you get it and can't stop talking about how much you love the color. I promise, it's going to be fabulous and sassy in the Miami sun, and then dark and sexy for your top down nights.

 

thats what i want to hear!!! i was expecting a more blood red and gothic color (i hate orange) but i am sure i will love it...

p.s. am i the only NFR cabrio so far or what?

 

Just posted on the Mia thread about this...I've seen now how different monitors can make the pics totally different. There really isn't any blatant orange. It's just something that gives it warmth in the light.

Muse-no talk in the cabrio specific forums about NFR?

 

Indeed you are. Our little NFR clique is going to be quite the talk of the town.

As it should be.

Rooandren, it is up to you to start the official NFR club thread. We can babble about the name of it in the support group thread.

 

i don't know its boring over there....
i only come here cause you guys are funny and very informative...
besides i just searched and NADA...
so yeah i am ze first it seems heh heh...

 

People do have a tendency to point and laugh at me a lot. I like to pretend they are laughing with me.

 

I'm not sure if I'm laughing at the zing or someone calling us informative!

 

who said i was callign you guys informative? no you're the comedy group gokartride and andycoop are informative...
hahah you thought it was you...

 

Oh no. I had no illusions about being informative. Too much responsibility. Besides, it would severely cut into my ME time on the board. And we cannot have that.

 

Meow Ouch! Now I'm sad. I'll just have to go and take a ride in my NFR MINI!!!

 

May a pox be upon you. May it be upon your family, your dog, your cat, your children, your tacos, wait,....not the tacos.....your avocado, your gaucamole.

And if that is not enough! Well,..I have a lot more!

ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!! I WANT MY ROMI!!!!!!!

 

you have alot more guacamole? dammit share i love that stuff...must be the latin in me...LOL

 

I feel your (labor) pains too MUSE....I'll be the first in Canada to purchase one. There were only 7 delivered out of the first NFR production run to come to Canada...and mine is one of them....

I had a million doubts until I saw the pics with the black roof in the full sun....

As far as I know, I haven't seen or heard of any NFR cabrio's.....extra unique.

I like the idea of having a NFR group. We sound like we're a little extra unique (wierd?) and we had a to wait quite a while just to see this color...I've still got 2 weeks to go. Once the ship gets to Halifax port, it still has to board a train and travel the Canadian Shield to get to me. And to top it all off...the railroad workers just ended a strike..they are now 2 weeks backlogged!

AAAAAAaaaahhhh...maybe I could just cut and paste my picture and put it into rooandren's car?

 

Skuzz looooooves them avacado!

Dennis-sound like quite a trip, good luck! Heres' the bright side of it. Halifax is the first stop of the ship! All us Yanks have to stop there first.

 

not only are we cool(wierd) but we are the damn risk takers...we are the ones who were determined and truly believed...
gosh i am proud of us...

we shall be rewarded with a color that is deserving of us...
because we are of courageous blood, ours is nightfire red the color of royalty...

aaaaaaaaaahahaha i felt like king arthur or hamlet there for a sec...sorry i am gettting delirious from photoshopping and mini waiting...

 

I had worked as a medic for 25 years, and I've never seen Nightfire Red blood before...it almost makes me want to cut myself to see if we truly bleed Nightfire Red?

Well, maybe with a little luck I'll cut myself shaving...I'll keep you posted!

 

So, it's possible that my car is already on Canadian soil? (tears running down his cheeks in anticipation)....[breaking out in our national anthem!]...which means that probably our cars might have even come across the briny lattitudes together?

Skuzzy, Muse...what do you think of that? Put that in your pipes and smoke them....

 

I'd have to feel for the guys on the boat if all of Mini's were on the same one. Imagine the crowd control problems?

That many Nightfire Red cars in one place is probably forbidden.

 

I think they're like raptors. They keep hoods over their eyes to keep them docile and prevent attacks on VW Rabbits.

 

...or maybe more like Jurassic Park....Velociraptors...we hunt in packs. Just when you think you've locked eyes with your hunter, another one comes running at you from the side!!!!
