I've loved British Racing Green and black wheels since seeing it on a Formula 1 Jaguar years ago. Been addicted to it ever since, though this will be my first BRG car. I'm so excited! And I'm already planning to paint or powder coat some S-Lites black as my first mod.

Ordered "Marvin" for Marvin the Martian for you looney tunes fans, 7/14. BRG w/black roof & stripes. Loved this classic color. I was originally going for chili red until I saw BRG in the showroom!

I never really considered a BRG MCS until I found this one waiting for me. Love at first sight.

can you show some pics of the gold stripes? I have been looking at striping my car, but wasn't sure what I want to do.

Does anyone know where to get the "British Racing Green Owners Club" logo I see on your posts? I've seen the same one with different colors listed and was wondering if someone sells these as a decal.

Hey, new to the forums..

I've had my BRG/BRG MCS for almost 3 weeks now, I love it! Haven't seen another color-matched BRG/BRG Mini around my area yet...

Great looking Mini! And even though I'm not an official member of the BRG club, welcome to NAM!

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Oregon Mini owners club. You'll find a number of us here. Your car looks great.

I see from another one of your posts that you work for a dealership in Salem. Stick around here for long and you might get sucked into only liking Minis.

Go to the "First Gear" thread and introduce yourself and post your photo, there, as well. More of the Oregon crowd will see you there.

I am not real fond of the R56, but the BRG/W makes it . But then I am partial to BRG/W anyway .

For you BRG owners that have a 2006 or previous MINI with a 5 or 6-spd manual, see attached photo of shift ***** that I currently have for sale. I'd be "14 Ball" if I had a white topper BRG. I can also accommodate your request for a 6-ball [solid green] or any other stripe or solid. Price is $50/each and we can work out the shipping thru PMs...

FYI, if you're wondering...
Stock chrome/leather ball: ~185g & ~2.200" diameter
Pool *****: ~160g & 2.250" diameter

-Barry / 10 Ball
