It's so orange!

I saw the Washington and being the east coast person that I am was taken back by the foliage in your picture, "wow that is anything in DC." So I am assuming PNW correct?

Ha! Yeah, Washington State. We hate putting State on there.

For the last few years we have been running counter to the weather trends in the rest of the country. When the east coast is having a heat wave, our state is blue on the weather map. Now you guys are getting wintered to death, we had our first nice day of spring.

Welcome!! Love the orange, a bit flashy for me but every time I see one I think next time for me.

Yes a nice day in PNW, even washed the car it was so warm.

It looks more orange than yellow to me, but I have had friends say "awesome shade of yellow" so who knows?

Truthfully, the VO was not near the top of my list when thinking about colors for my Mini, but this car was sitting 30 feet away in the showroom the whole time I was talking to the dealer and it really started to grow on me. I wanted the bonnet stripes anyway, but I think they break the color up nicely.

Now that I have it I am glad it looks so flashy, and it's really easy to find in a parking lot!
