I always figured a Mini needed to have the contrasting roof, but the Laser/lighter blues & the reds look so good with the matched roof
HAHA!!! I thought the exact same thing!

It would look pretty sweet too!

A big roller suitcase, two carry-on bags, a gym bag and my daughter's cheer unform and the rear seats are up! Not bad, huh? Oh, and the saddle bag above it all.

I picked up my Pepper White Mini 3 days ago and I am amazed with the handling and response of the vehicle. I have to a nice to commute to work and I can't tell you how much I look forward driving to work. I am also amazed with the fandom this vehicle has created. I look forward to reading, writing, and receiving ideas/thoughts from this group.

I just swapped out my 18'' ASA AR1s for these BBS CVs. it looks as good and feels much smoother having extra sidewall. Also installed a rack for biking!

Tip-toeing home I see.

My 6 ton van does the same thing. I've had a front wheel 2 feet in the air with it.
