Despite my history of 4 wheel obsessiveness and forum forays - I've never met such a group of umm, how to say it politely ...... CAR NUTS in my life! Hotlines, numerous phonecalls etc.
I like to check this forum once a day but you people seriously need to get a .... err, speed dial number for MINI REHAB.
I won't tolerate any complaints about Mini USA either - I traded my vehicle in 11 weeks ago and have not had a single email or phone call about the status of my order.
You are very lucky to be able to have tracked your vehicles.
Canadian rant over. Goodnight and please, big guy up there, send news of my Mini soon.

Unless this is a photoshop then I think this one was already done. Either way they both look GREAT and would definitely be the first mod I would do, if and when I get an F56. Nice work!

The one and only thing I do not like about the F56 is the stupid ugly front bumper insert!:( At least on the F56s the front spoiler and grill do a better job of 'integrating' it. Maybe in the future there will be aftermarket support and some kind of delete kit to make it look better. But I am seriously thinking of trading up to an S almost completely for this reason alone lol

It's a simple color combo, F56, but that is one sharp looking MINI. The black wheels and white stripes really set it apart!

Introducing...

Albert Churchill



Volcanic Orange
Black roof, mirror caps, bonnet stripes
16" Black Victory Spoke Wheels
Wired Package
Sport Seats
Hazy grey dash surface


The wife and I picked up Al last night from MINI of Tampa Bay and are loving him so far! I've been going between sport and green modes and I'm pleasantly surprised that I'm averaging 38.0 miles per gallon.


I included the picture of the hazy grey dash surface because I haven't seen a whole lot of photos of it anywhere since many others have gone with different options there.


So happy to finally be in the car we ordered in early April

The Justa looks mean in VO. Very nice. And, thanks for including a shot of the Hazy Grey. I prefer this over what the confused MINI configurator shows/showed.

LOVE IT Lawrence. Al surly does look sexy in VO if I do say so. I am so glad I chose this color. It looks so bright and vibrant.

Hot! Can't wait to see my VO Justa in a few weeks. Lawrence would you say the pics depict the actual color of the car? It's been so long since I've seen one in person, and it seems that every pic I see the car looks a different color, sometimes even yellow.

Thanks for the kinds words, guys. As far as the color, the pictures are accurate for that time of day in the shade. In bright sunlight it looks more yellow. Just depends, but I think it looks best at sunrise and sunset.

unfortunately not a picture of my car ... but looks like they're using some F56s as camera-cars to film a movie in Toronto - I believe the movie is called Pixels (found via reddit)

Hey I know this one. The movie is going to be called Pixels where the video game world collides with the real world. The F56s are the ghosts from Pacman. If you look close you can see the names of the ghosts on the front plate

I would have to agree. It defiantly changes color depending on what light it is in.

Look even they changed the front grill to black cause they knew it would look better.

Exciting times Smallbug! Should be a sunny weekend for new car adventures
When I see that a two tone Cooper has arrived in the Pacific Northwest I have hope that my car will be here soon (I purchased in April, but sadly we have no way to track our vehicles in Canada!)

Agreed, I plan to wrap all the chrome bits in black vinyl.

Diana - We could have a Mini meet up! I can tell you right now she will be taking a trip or two up to Victoria. Although our next trip to Vancouver is undecided. I also ordered in April and was lucky to get built at the beginning of May.
I'll cross my fingers you will get yours by the end of the month.
