WOW.

Going to order my MC tomorrow (can't wait) - been debating colors for a while...thought we'd settled on the pure silver, but I went and saw an oxy blue at a dealer this week and relly liked it.... and this thread has pushed me over the edge. I'm converted!

 

If you think you are over the edge now, just wait until you actually GET your OB. The most wowest color ever

Welcome!

 

I've been following this thread and loved all the talk about D/FW (hi from Carrollton), hoping that soon I'd be joining your ranks...

As posted over in the welcome thread, instead of having to order my MINI, my MA was able to find one on the boat heading to another dealer. I got a call from her today that he has been successfully moved into their inventory today and he's all mine. Yippee!

He will be Oxygen Blue with a Black top, Piano Black interior surface, premium and cold packages, plus foglights. Thanks to advice from this forum, I'm going to have his sunroof and possibly the other windows tinted.

I fell in love with the color immediately but I have not actually seen one in the flesh...the dealer (Dallas MINI) says they've only sold a handful and they always go within a day of arriving to the dealership.

So needless to say, I'm just so excited I can hardly stand it. The insanity part comes next, I'm sure...I'll get him at the end of August.

(As posted over in the new forum thread)...

Is it weird that I have already named him? (His name is Gaucho...I'm from Texas and he'll be a rugged cowboy, but like the Brazilian gauchos, this boy is gonna have STYLE...)

 

I saw a girl at lunch today in scrubs...and they were Oxygen Blue!!!!! It's rare to see that exact shade out and about, especially for someone untrained in the art of OB accessorization such as I.

 

Congrats, novalyne...from another D/FW OB owner!!! Moritz has two OBs on the lot right now and those are the only OB MINIs I ever see....none on the road. It is a rare and very cool color!!!!

 

Congrats, novalyne! I got mine as a "diversion off the boat" through MINI of Dallas. I blanketed the West Coast looking for one instead of waiting months to order, and M of D pulled it off

Moritz had an OB/W on the lot back in late June. I saw it at the Central Market in FW in late July (at least I think it was it...same specs, with a Moritz sticky and temp plates). Only other one I've seen. Looks like you and gokart will be among the MINI color elite in DFW. I still haven't seen one up here in the Seattle area, although my daughter said she spied one up by the U of Washington last month.

Now, you have something fun to take you through the teaching year Enjoy the rest of your summer! (I also teach).

 

WHAT?! did you pounce her and find out where she got them? i must know...

 

hi all-
Finally got the most beautiful MINI I've ever seen this past Friday. It is true about actually seeing the OB in person because it is an amazing color.

I love driving the car and everything about it..especially the glow of those moodlights at night!

 

Hi, all...

Just thought I'd say hi. I just got back to my office after picking up our new O2B MC with a white top, and it turned out beautiful. It definitely stands out! My wife is actually driving it home as we speak, and has the camera with all the pics and video, which she'll be offloading this afternoon.

I have to give props to Greg at Towne Mini up here in Buffalo, NY. They did a great job taking wonderful care of us, and we'd recommend anyone else looking to feel comfortable shopping there

Well in all honesty I did consider this, but I'm allergic to mace.

 

Fantastic, Chris...welcome to the club!!! Motor proudly in the amazing aura of Oxygen Blue!!!

 

Aaagh, this thread is killing me, I still have 2-3 more weeks to wait! newoxyblue and ChrisSBU, I'm glad that you are affirming the beauty of the oxy blue. I still haven't seen it in person yet.

But I knew I was making the right choice when I went for the test drive and the chili red and mellow yellow (my previous preferences) just didn't do much for me anymore!

 

Uh-oh....we got one of the crazies here (which I commend you for, btw). I hadn't seen OB either and let me say you are in for a treat...but not before some sleepless nights, right?

So....you might want to become a NAMaholic for a few days...I know of no other real help at this fragile point. You've got to vent some of this nervous energy. Go to off-topic and jump in one of the games. Or fret over your first motoring tunes. Or reasearch and get a detailing kit together!!

Good luck!!!!!

 

pah! u sir are not skilled in the art of pouncing... if u carry a little milk with u, it'll get that burning sensation right out... lol..

have u noticed that the lid on the Tide w/ Febreeze Meadows & Rain matches almost perfectly?

 

I am forced admit that this is so.

As insignificant and obscure as this information may seem, I confess that in all likelihood next time I'm at the store I will dutifully check out the product mentioned and, if only for a moment, greatly admire the choice of packaging color.

 

I got Balthier on Friday. The oxygen blue color is amazing. I have had more compliments on it in 5 days then on my liquid yellow that I had for 3 years. I am trying to insert a pic but it asks for a url for the pic. Is there an easy way to put a pic in the text?. mark

 

just trying to figure out how to get my pic in my signature

 

Ravenman, that is certainly one nice baby you have there!!!! NICE NICE NICE!!!
i should be seeing mine....soon.....

 

Big congrats on the MINI, on it being OB, and on the apparent good taste of your neighbors/friends!!

 

I saw this Oxygen Blue cooper at MINI Richmond, it look exactly like the one I ordered. The color on the real car is just gorgeous!

 

Shameless bump to say "Hi" to all my fellow OB motorers and admirers!!!


okay....I came to ogle, too!!! (I can't see my car at the moment.)

 

Get out of your chair and walk to the window . . . see, it's right there.

 

It's been 80 days since I ordered my OB/W MC... I haven't been thinking much about it until I found out it has crossed the ocean and it is now on a train from the East! Now I can't wait!

 

I think this part of the wait is the hardest. Good luck and have a blast w/ your new MINI!!!

 

Saw OB for the first time today , This is the color I would get if I got a non S Mini .Reminds me of 1960's Karman Ghia color .
