That looks like the lighter blue, not lightning blue.

You should be able to find out what color you have a with a label on one of the door jams, and one in the engine bay.

Here is my new to me 2008 MCSc LiB MINI. I just purchased this on 12/24/2011 and these are the only pictures I have of it right now. It's a bit muddy because of a dirt road I drove on just before I took the pics. This was 12/30/11 and my sister and I just came back from a ride with the roof down.

That's in the Finger Lakes region near Watkins Glenn. My sister lives there and I own some abandoned farm land that I camp on next to her house.

Anywhere near Bath, NY? We went on vacation there at Hickory Hills a few years back. We have some family nearby. I lived in Clifton Park north of Albany for 3 years. Beautiful country!

Not really we're on the other side of Watkins, almost midway to Ithaca. Ithaca is the bigger city but I like to reference Watkins Glenn because of the car history of the place.

It'll be another 2-3 weeks until I'm "official" but this bad boy (girl?) is on a ship coming to me right now. I've always liked blue MINIs but the Coupe in particular looks great in LB. I'm typically a black car kinda guy but once I saw the LB Coupe with Silver roof I was in love.

So I'm curious, to all my fellow Lib mini owners, what is your mini's name? I am still confused on my mini's gender, but am trying to get ideas.

My Mini is Comet (AKA Lightning Blue Comet). Comet is a guy.
