Sidenote: Don't mean to exclude BRGI since it's BRG.. but it is a different color, just like all the different blues :)

Here ya go! This color can be hard to catch with the camera because its appearance changes with the light. To really see the yellow in the green requires direct, bright light - which I didn't have when the last three shots were taken.

BRGII is that rare of a color? :confused:

picked mine up a couple of weekends ago, but i haven't gotten any good shots of it with a legit camera, yet. here's an iphone pic after a wash. i was pretty gun-ho about getting horizon blue, but decided on brgII at the last minute and i'm very glad that i did! this puppy's outfitted with a/t (for the wife and LA traffic), prem, sport, web spokes, anthracite headliner, carbon black color line and bluetooth.

when i saw your mirror caps, i said to myself, this guy has got to be a pilot or something. then i saw the link to your blog...awesome! you sir, work a job that i'm fascinated with. whenever i fly united, i'm always on channel 9, iirc, of their audio feed to listen to atc. i started reading your blog and would love to hear some more stories sometime!

My BRGII MCS should be here in the next couple of days.

Lainford Express Apr 27, 2011 01:56 PM

I ordered mine on Monday!

Though, I'm already second guessing... I ordered leatherette but am thinking I should've got cloth. Always been a cloth guy, but I don't care for the pattern and was impressed with the vinyl, but I dunno.

Same here, cloth seats on both cars I've had before the MINI, went back and forth on A LOT! I'm sure we'll love our cars no matter what happens when they get here though :)

if i had ordered my car, i prob would have opted for the leatherette...if that makes you feel any better. the cloth is ok...a bit chinsy feeling if you ask me, and SUPER staticky! i'm a transplanted east coaster, so maybe it's just the dryer weather here in LA.

Add me to the list. My Clubby is on the Madame Butterfly and docks on May 3rd. MA said it takes 5-10 days to get to the dealership and be ready to go. I have vacation(paternity leave?) scheduled for that time so I go get it as soon as possible.

1chaos52 Apr 28, 2011 04:47 AM

My BRGII landed late last week, just waiting for it to get to the dealership and get the last few finishing touches.

NavyNUKE Apr 28, 2011 06:09 AM

Nice! Be sure to post some pics when you get it! I added your name to the list

Thanks a couple of showroom shots and 1 more out door shot. Seeing the car in the showroom is what hooked me. I wasnt really ready to give up my R53:cry:

Nice Clubman. In addition to the mirrors, I really like how you have different rims starboard vs. port :wink:

that's some observation you made - i didn't even notice that! man, i'm starting to wish that my car had come with blacked out xenons! makes the car look angrier! any of you other fellas out on the west coast, or socal to be exact?

Lainford Express Apr 29, 2011 03:47 AM

Mine's is a 2011 MINI Cooper S.

MattMatt Apr 29, 2011 04:23 AM

picking my BRGII up today @ 4:30. it is an MCS with cold weather/luxury/chromeline/xenons/white signals/rear fog/polar beige gravity leather & colorline/english oak. planning to add 17" Breytons next spring, but I like the standard 16" ribspoke and plan to use those as winters with blizzaks. will post pics soon.

1chaos52 Apr 29, 2011 05:00 AM

What a tease. My car made it to the dealership yesterday, but without the certificate of origin which "might" show up today. Only problem is, there is an extremely slim chance I will be able to pick it up during the weekend, and I am travelling next week until Friday.

Tough break, hope you get it this weekend!! :popcorn:



Anyone else notice the trend I notice, all of us British RACING Green II owners have gone with the Cooper/Clubman S :nod:

Duh! It has Racing in the name!

Actually, I got an S because I wanted the power, if I was really interested in being competitive at racing (autocross) the Cooper is classed more competitively.
