@agent
I wish our commutes were that short. I'd rather not put 20k miles on the mini every year. And yeah, at least the accident gives opportunity to change a couple things, so it's not ALL bad.
@Stu
Yikes! Rolling a MINI can't be easy! Is everyone OK?
@amber
Another OB with white wheels! Definitely post pics when you get all the new stuff installed.

Everyone is fine. Seatbelt was on. I think she overcompensated for car cutting corner, put wheel up on bank and the rest is history. Car is dead though.
I'm bummed because Oxygen Blue is such a cool colour and I think it was spec'd just right. We do have a 2007 Cooper S under deposit - it doesn't look as cool, despite the checkers here and there...but watcha goin' to do?

Anyway, I agree about Oxygen Blue, it's a great color for sure. The new-for-2011 color 'Ice Blue' is relatively similar in that it is a non-metallic light Blue, but it's not a bold as Oxygen Blue I don't think.
Good luck with your next MINI!

I agree. I saw some photos of the Ice Blue at a dealership and it looks like a very nice color. Not as bright as O2 Blue but similar. Looked like a very nice solid sky blue.

So gone for a used (dull) chili red. It is pretty loaded and will have a bit more grunt being an S so it will do. I needed rear fogs and xenon's which is hard to find used believe it or not.

I often said that I thought we had got the specs just right on that car and wanted to keep it forever...okay, slightly bigger wheels would have been nice, but still. I could get 45mpg getting to and from work. It was perfect as a commuter car.
Not having the Oxygen Blue option anymore put me off ordering a new one - and no used ones have been just right. As everyone knows, each Mini is unique...but I had to have rear fogs to avoid having the blank switch. The Cooper S has great options and is the right price - if not the colour I would have ideally liked. The gearbox is actually being fixed under warranty at the moment before we pick it up. I am looking forward to giving it a good drive...

Wouldnt miss it! We had a blast last year and have a cabin reserved for this year.
Last year there were 4 total OB MINIs at the Dragon, iirc. Ours, Agent Cooper's, and a couple more.
Maybe we'll beat that number this year!

Great! Amber and I were posting on another site and were thinking we should really plan to get all the OB MINIs together for a group picture or something. It would be cool even if there were only a few of us. We'll set a new world record!
