I like that name.

I know that it is probably VERY cliche, but my Coupe is called "Coop." My wife has a countryman that she calls "Mini."

I love Lightning Blue, it is the Second Gen version of my Hyper Blue. Lightning Blue has a deeper look to it.

A wise choice! I noticed your signature, will you be going to the Dragon this year?

Ditto. I think that color stands out great in the sun. The metallic jumps out at you

It will be my first time going! I am heading down Tuesday night (about a 11 hour drive through the night...) and will be leaving Sunday. Other people are coming down from the local mini club but they are all going down the weekend before.

That would be awsome...fatboy97. It would be cool if you could do a whole theme for Android....or that other Platform for that matter. Heck I may even spend money on a whole theme.

Welcome to the club. I don't know how they get the logo. I prefer to show a picture of Comet.

I am thinking of trying to get the Lightning Blue logo for a badge.

Enjoy your LiB MINI. Best color of all.

I ended up making my own, using Paint Shop Pro... no one would send me one, so I just made my own. Mine is evolving and will change a little in the near future when I put a Mini logo above my Mini, but here is the one I created.

I had found these two on the web:




And create this one for my own Mini:



I'll be making one soon with my own version of the Lightning Blue Owner's Club Logo.

I thank I am in love with LuLu. Add some black stripes and that is almost a twin to my Zanadoom. Down to the shoes even.....I should have waited for the Coupe.
