I love this car... makes me smile every time I get in it. Still debating on the name, torn between two.

 

Very nice! Love the black and yellow, one of my favorite combos. Great stripes too!

 

Absolutely cool... that is the first interchange yellow I’ve seen in a hardtop. Looks much better (IMO) than in a convertible.

Love it!

Great looking car! I love naming things... I'd love to help you with your decision.

 

People on here like to say justa.....but I see maybe 1 in 50 cooper s...most coopers on the road are not s.

 

I say you call it Gator...cuz it reminds me of gatorade!

Thanks for the nice comments! I've been going back and forth between Stevie (for Stevie Nicks) and Stella, no meaning behind that one.

looks great! Now just black out the headlight rings, front grill, beltline and door handles!

 

Stella, then you can tell everyone how Stella got her groove on!

 

Really? We just had a mini meet last weekend and we had 3 S's and my JCW out of 10 cars there. I'd say that's about the same ratio as I see on the street, except there are only 4 or 5 JCW's in the area.

 

Oh I like it... looks great and yeah black out would be next?

 

I like that! Great idea....


Either that or interchange yellow but in either case, I’d lose the chrome on that color.

Yellow and Black....how about "Bee"?

 

More like green and black... and if that was the case, I’d say Green lantern before bee...

ok, here goes. hope this response turns out right, i'm not good on the multi quote thing.

that's cute!


off subject, but drewstermalloy you're from buffalo? my boyfriend is from fredonia. was just there about a month ago..... hope you're a sabres fan.


i thought about this but i guess i need someone who is good with photoshop to convince me. I kinda feel like since everyone is going with this, i'm gonna be different by not doing it and i sucketh with photoshop.

 

I live about 15-20 minutes south of Buffalo, and I'm easily the biggest Sabres fan I know.

body color trim > black out trim

If I think about it tomorrow I'll photoshop it both ways.

 

My old yellow and black CBR (see gallery.) was titled "The Dirty Schoolbus."

I had it in yellow vinyl on the black windscreen and everything

I was curious about this myself ( 6th FAQ down) . It's about 50/50. I really don't think NAM members intend for the term to be pejorative. They're all Minis and therefore all cool.

 

Around here, I’d say that’s about the norm. Half of the cars I see are justas and half are S’s. I’d say I see about 1 JCW in 30 minis.

They’re all cool, I wave at all of them....

Back to our regularly scheduled thread.

I just always keep my eye out in LA and I very rarely see S models.

 

Here in Maine I seem to see a little more S models. Then again, maybe I am biased.

 

I've never really taken the remark as offensive, although I can see how some who are a little overly sensitive would. I just use the term as a reference point really. I would have loved to have an S, but the one I wanted was more than I could afford. And, I've had no regrets with my car. I look at it as a stepping stone, it's my first MINI so maybe the next will be an S. Now, I just need to lower mine, different wheels and maybe exhaust.....

 

Price wasn't an issue with me, I didn't get an S because the gas mileage already gets tanked on my non-s with all the traffic here...it would be unbearably low in an s. I've also read a lot about Turbos blowing out prematurely on the S.....I need a reliable car.
