WTG gokartride!!
It's ok you think your color is the best. We of the NFR Coopers are not threatened at all by this. And there are only 5 of us on NAM. How you guys doing?
I would imagine Ernestine delivered it. She delivered mine last week. She even mentioned gokartride. In a nice way, of course,
Of course, your post means diddly-squat until you post some pics!!!

Well actually I decided to take a nap!!! Why? Because I unwisely drove by the dealer last night when I thought they would be closed...and Neil was there. "Wanna see your MINI?" he innocently asked. Well, w/o thinking I said "yes"!!! Bad move. Yup, I got a sneak peek....but the sheer excitement was enough to keep me up half the night!!!! Be forewarned...you would-be MINI owners...this fate could befall be you!!!!!!! Anyway with a few hours sleep (I'm off today) and a line of t-shorms going through (yes, hail was mentioned) I decided to park it for a bit....both the MINI and myself. Soon, however, motoring shall commence!!!!!
Oh and Skuz...in the confines of this thread alone I shall vent my full and unbridled passion for the MINI color that has haunted me over the past several years, only now to dawn with luminant rays in the Cooper firmament....for this thread alone is the inner sanctum of Oxygen Blue devotion. But have no fear...outside these confines I promise I will give all MINI colors their rightful due. The MINI pantheon is truly a diverse one...and if I wanted to pull off sultry, another color would get my vote.
BTW, MAs must get some perverse pleasure out of all this.

She got back early...don't ask me how!!! Actually, she came in to deliver my MINI and was going to go immediately home to crash. Anyway, what happened is that we saved the clear bra for maybe tomorrow. Otherwise I would not be picking it up til Saturday or even Monday!!! I theoretically would have been fine with that...in practice I buckled under the pressure. I am so weak.

d best.
Yay! Indi Blue is the best! I love this thread! (Oops. This is the Oxygen Blue thread. I mean, Yay, Oxygen Blue is the best!) (Not really, I like my Indi, but my wife LOVES the O2B, and the color may have convinced here she really NEEDS a MINI now!)

Hehe, I know I trundled where no NFR has gone before gokartride. It is the spirit of adventure that dwells in all Mini owners which pushes us to do and say the silliest things.
Of course this is the OB thread and I will humbly honor that. OB was my second choice. I had both chips side-by-side when I did the proverbial coin (chip) toss and picked the one that landed face up.
Congrats on you new baby! And I dunt(tm) blame ya for not taking her out today. I left the office early to get Romi safe into the confines of the garage.

Justifiably!!! No there will be no pics for awhile I'm afraid...very sorry about that. My camera is in Australia (w/ my yougest son) and my cunning plan to borrow one from work failed because........I simply forgot to bring it home. I could go out and get a camera of some sort but I got my eye on a MINI alarm in July and my eldest son (in grad school) just called for an infusion of cash.
Not to worry....it's just a plain ol' run-of-the-mill OB/W w/o chrome in or out, a spoiler, 15" rotator spoke wheels, front and rear fogs, cloth sport seats, DSC, and all the english oak bits inside. I was worried about english oak w/ the standard black interior, but it looks amazing and not too over-the-top. I like subtle and the standard silver interior trim still retains a softer look than the chrome would which is what I was after. This car is an utter blast to motor in!!!
It is the only OB around these parts!!!

Seriously, I still have yet to see an OB in person (I've only seen one R56 at all so far), and I love seeing more and more pictures of them!

Perhaps I should reconsider my initial comment about the availability of pics!!!
Thanks for the offer Skuzster...things may get nasty 'round here, so maybe a procurement is in order after all!!!

Cool. Want to check the weather in the morning? If it is going to rain in the afternoon, we can meet early. If it is going to rain in the morning, we can meet in the afternoon.
It is not supposed to rain all day.
When I get off work today, I am off until 6/4. WOOOHOOO!!! I had planned on replacing my speakers this weekend, but the weather is not going to cooperate. Even though I have a garage, I cannot stand working in the humidity when it is raining.
