R56 Official Oxygen Blue Owners Club

Hey momma--good to know you're still among us, even if just to pop in now and then. As the Queen of this group, you hold a special place in the Oxy Blue Hall o' Fame!
Can't say that I do recognize the connection between your tattoo and our esteemed club (other than the color of the name), but it looks great anyway!
Hope you have a little more time for Motoring soon...and please, stop by again. Always good to hear the haps from the original O2B Queen.

You are correct. The rest of it is a tribute to my brother. I was going to get the letters in grey and the tattoo artist said they would fade fast so he suggested I pick a color. How could I resist? Now even my tattoo matches my car... :-D
It seems like just yesterday I started this thread. I can't believe it, 2.5 yrs and 30,000 miles later; my love and devotion is still strong for my girl, GE-MINI. She's got a few scrapes and dents and she's dirty more often than shes clean, but I love her just the same. I STILL have people stop me and ask what the color is called.

On our way to work this morning Hubby and I saw one of OUR Bretheren...an OB/W with a different Hind End than my Molly Car. It had OR Plates, who ever owns it better speak up!!
I couldn't get close enough to it to acknowledge it's COOLNESS!!
Molly will be visiting her Birthplace next month. She's going in for her 20,000 mile check-up. I think this is the one where they replace the Front Brakes, at least the OBC says it's time for Front Brakes. I'm waiting for the 1 1/2 Year Delivery Anniversary (Oct. 19th) for her next Oil Change (every 6mo.) and New Tires.
BTW Tedswoods...I'll be glad when they discontinue OUR OB Color, then it will be that much more rare...and there won't be so many on the road. I've seen less than 10, more like 5 OB/W/B's besides my Baby Girl. One day it will happen.

So does that mean I SHOULD get my spare MINI now, while they still make this color??? What are you going to do RJ, when that day comes when Miss Molly just can't go any further and you can't get another Oxy Blue...?
#2082
Molly will FINALLY get to be the Garage Queen in 20mo. and when that happens I'll be preserving HER and her OXYGEN BLUENESS!!
Did I share with the OB Crowd that I Re-Fied Molly's Loan down to 3.75% from 5.48%, same terms just a better interest rate!! Will be paying her off ASAP so Hubby can get HIS Dream Car...what ever that is!!
#2083
Relax, people, relax....we can always get a few gallons of Oxy Blue paint, and when (or if ) our present Oxy's go, we can adopt another MINI (preferably a Pure Silver, it's the closest color to bare sheetmetal) and just paint ourselves another Oxy Blue MINI! Problem solved!
If they do discontinue our color, we'd better stock up on touch-up paint for sure
I just saw my MA last week, and she gave no indication that OB is going away, at least for the next model year (although they dropped Mellow Yellow, and made that horrid Interchange Yellow available across the model range - yuck!)

Plus i got them at a sweet price.
#2086
I wanna join, por favor
Relatively newish here; I've only had my oxygen blue 2009 mini since June. My sister and I dubbed him, "Atori" or Finch, which is also a play on "aoi tori" or blue bird in Japanese. LOL, just got the custom atori license plate today in the mail. Also, my sister and I are working on getting a custom roof graphic with a finch graphic on it. We already plastered a decal of a finch by the license plate.
So, it's only fitting that atori join in with the oxy blue club. If you'll have me :3
Besides the oxy blue mini, my sister and I also have a chili red 2009 cooper. We live in tempe arizona. I don't really see many Oxy blues around in Tempe sadly. Mostly chili reds.
I've posted some photos too.
Here is Atori with the Queen Mary in the background in Long Beach CA
And here is Atori perched in the mountains in Bisbee AZ

Great to have you redkiwi! Welcome to the Club. As you can see, some of these folks are awful passionate about their Oxy Blues. And of course, one of the best things is that so few people seemed to have swallowed the oxy kool-aid, thus they seem to be much rarer than many / most of the other colors. Atori is a fine lookin' MINI, wherever it's parked!
Good to know several of you have excellent back-up plans for having a stash of Oxygen Blue on hand in times of crisis. That will prevent me from ordering another tomorrow when I'm up at the dealer anyway! RJ--great news on the refinance! Ray, if that MINI ever acts up (again) and you need to find a less crowded stable, send 'im on up here to western NY--the grass is always greener here! mommashine, I'm just thrilled you're back among us--now what happened to gokartride? My, it's hard to keep track of everyone!
As you were, everyone, Motor on and do our Oxy Blue proud!

If you were in the Tempe/Mesa/Chandler this last March you might have spied Molly and I tooling around. I had a Family Emergency down there and took Molly along to introduce her to her Extended Family. I stayed at the Dobson Ranch Best Western. Took Molly to North Scottsdale MINI for a Mini Tune-up while we were there. I'm a PHX Metro Native (since the Age of 2). You might PM me and see if in our travels around the area we've bumped into each other, it would be great to connect with someone who still has ties to the area.

She'll be visiting Rasmussen on the 4th for her Front Brakes, OBC says it's time. Then on Oct. 19th (1.5yr Anniversary) she'll be getting some New Shoes and an Oil Change.
Love the pics. OxyBlueCoop...such a scerene place and beautiful as well!!

New to the club, love my mini
Hi all. I have been wandering around the site for a while waiting for Abbey to arrive and she finally did. I have had her for a little over a week and so far I love it. I am in the Nashville area and was wondering if there are any other Nashville oxygen blue owners on here. I have seen a few around town but don't know who they are.
Here is a pic of my beloved abbey.

Welcome to the Family Abbey!! We OxyBlue's are all over, I've seen a couple around these parts, but like you don't exactly know who they are. Most times I've not gotten close enough to acknowledge them, but when I do...I WAVE like a Mad Woman!! Just ask my Husband, he tries to hide every time!!
Oh...but tonight on the way home he told me he was 3rd in line or tailing a couple of MCs and got a W@VE from one of them...WooHoo!!

So after having my car dented for 2 months I finally got it fixed!
Before
After
It took them 3 weeks to fix my little girl but she is all better now!! Well I did discover that while playing around with my grill they had glued something down that shouldn't be glued down!
Now with her almost better it is time for some upgrades! I got some checker stuff and with the help of tedwood I hope to get the stuff installed! I will take some pictures when I am all done.....the parts should be in on Friday.

Molly will be visiting Rasmussen on Friday. The OBC is saying it's time for Front Brakes. That's all I'm going to have them do for now, then next Month is her 1 1/2yr. Anniversary so she'll get some New Shoes, an Oil Change, Wiper Blades, and what ever else I can find!!
I've been making a List of Upgrades to come...(not in any specific order)
Roof Rack
Driving Lights
Tint
Wheels
.....I'm sure I can find LOTS more to add!!

After too, too long, I finally washed and Hydroed teds MINI! OMG do I feel better! I cannot STAND having the MINI dirty (and it was dirty) but we've had lots of rain this summer, lots of roadwork, and of course, lot's of dairy here in farm country. Nonetheless, it looks great again and I think Ted would be proud!
#2099
Ted is up in Doggy Heaven chasing his tail, looking down on you knowing that you're keeping his car in great shape!!
Molly got her Front Brake Pads replaced, the Sunroof was out of spec in 4 areas, and they fixed a Secret Compartment rattle. She's got a Clean Bill of Health!!
Next month will be her Semi-Annual Check-up (my dime), she'll get NEW Tires, an Oil Change, the Micron Filter replaced (Hubby's Allergies), and New Wiper Blades.
October 19th is our 1 1/2yr. Anniversary...Time FLIES when you're having FUN!!
