The Kia Rio black is a better color than the MINI.



Wait, this is the wrong thread...

Ha! Thanks so much! No, not a writer. In advertising actually. But I do fancy myself as somewhat of a decent writer. Very nice to hear though. I get bored and keep myself entertained with sarcasm.

I had another post in one of the gas mileage threads. Got a couple thumbs up from that too.

Now all I need is my damn car! (Still on its way over here).

Help!

Thanks.
If you order the aero kit, the trim is painted with the body color.
Check the mini configurator on the MINI site.

OK, thanks for all the replies, insults , slams, and jokes. Really enjoyed reading them, and laughing a good bit.

No, I was not 'asking permission' for a specific color advisee to say 'here, order this one'.....I was really asking for those with AB how bad it was from a maintenace standpoint (and yes, I'm Mr. ****, so I know it will be bad either way)!

But the car was ordered last week, AB/W/lots o'options, and it completed on 6.11.08, awaiting transport.

So a big THANKS to all of you for your help, comments, suggestions and encouragement. The beast is on the way!

AB all the way

I went to buy the DS, ended up with the AB. Very happy I did. It is easy to keep clean, takes about 10 minutes to wash the bad boy..

Oh the name of my car is CLWNCAR for anyone that is wondering!
