Yes, Stu, Thanks! I've got the part #. I just e-mailed my MA for a quote on it after I saw yours.

Close on the Jag. It's a '67 Series I E-type. Dad has passed away, and a friend of his now owns the Jag.

Ah, the boot stripes. Ordered those from Aesthetic Creations. A listed NAM vendor. Had those ordered and installed by my dealer when my baby arrived. My dealer chared $85 to install--very reasonable. I like the boot stripes. I think they finish the look.

Next up, along with the cowl grill trim will probably be the honeycomb side markers (scuttles). I hate those cheap, black plastic ones ...

Anyway, congrats on your new arrival! What a wonderfully unique color, the OB. Still haven't seen another one on the road, yet ...

 

Sorry, I meant E-type. My brain is frazzled at the moment - really busy at work. Saw a great E-type Coupe a couple of days ago. There's an English band called Corduroy who have a song called 'E-Type Jag'....and 'Mini' as it happens...but I digress.

Thanks for the information on the stripes

 

thanks for the replies Stu and RJ but those ain't SPORT stripes those are Bonnet Stripes! Sport stripes is the other ones, also seen 'em called Viper stripes (which is dumb because they have been around alot longer than Vipers) see my gallery for my configurator picture.

 

Exactly!!! No, I have never seen pic one of this (nevermind one on the lot), but it'll look very cool!!!!

 

Well...now you mention it! No, haven't seen the sport stripes!

 

well you'll be seeing them soon!

 

 

Here's Wrigley!!! I had posted some pics before she got the stripes.
Here she is after her stripes and a well needed bath. Isn't she purdy??

 

I guess so! I do like the sports stripes - they're a dealer installed accesory correct?

jaxsngrl: Car's looking good!

 

yes dealer installed

 

She shure is purdy! THAT'S what I'm looking for (except the sunroof)! Enjoy it!

 

Gorgeous!

 

Beautiful car you got there Jax.

 

I got a call from one of our ace MAs at the local dealership...which I happen to live around the corner from. He had a customer interested in seeing an OB MINI and, since none were on the lot, I zipped up there to model our favorite color!!! That was great fun!!!!!

 

COOL Gokart...will you get the Commission as well??

 

I know I should probably do a search or start a new thread - But I thought I would ask my fellow brethren first!

Two things: If I leave my lights on and get out of the car I don't get a warning chime - but when I look the lights aren't on anyway...Is this normal?

Secondly, I configured the first key's settings. Went to do the second and it just will not let me set the indicators/turn signal to the three flashes. I changed other settings but it won't retain this one - trip to the dealer or is there a way I can reset it and try again?

BTW: Cleaned the car last night - it just looked great in the twilight!

 

I don't mind helping out....this was the MA who, after hours, lead me through the labyrinthal maze of dealership halls, corridors, and passageways to get a sneak peek at my OB/W Cooper the night before I took delivery just over a year ago. First time I ever laid eyes on an OB MINI in real life...it was a magical moment. Didn't sleep much that night as I recall!!!

 

You can leave the stalk switch on headlight and the headlights will go off when you turn off the car, you won't even get an alarm. If you leave the switch on the parking light position you will get an alarm when turing the car off and need to turn the switch to turn off.

First few times I left my stalk on headlight I was very surprised when I returned to my car.

 

Yup! Totally normal!!

 

Thanks everyone!!!

 

Thanks jaxsngrl and DanF. I thought as much but dont recall reading it in the manual - I like this feature!

 

If we keep up this posting maybe we will catch up with the nightfire group. They seem so quiet these days.

 

Maybe I'm a bad spaming/bumping influence on this thread....so just to let you know, I'm told that the car computer hit 40.6 mpg after about 100 miles into the new tank of gas today

 

Stu, I see you're from Conn, maybe I'll see you on one of the many New England drives sometime.

 

My baby was just born yesterday, but is on the way to the port for her voyage over. An Oxygen Blue, Black roof and mirrors Cooper, with charcoal checkered cloth sport seats, cold weather and premium packages, dynamic steering control and auto transmission. It's great to be able to browse through this thread and see some wonderful photos in the meantime. Helps the wait period a little bit!

Thinking of blacking out the beltline and doing the JCW front grill and trim to tie it all together. So many ideas here with what people have done... and the vendors ready to make those ideas become reality.

My, my this is fun. I can hardly wait!
