Thanks Basil, I've been busy.
Now, who says that Liquid Yellow isn't popular? Everyone that sees my car (says) that they love the colour. And seriously, some of those yellows that are driving around will look really out of place in a couple of years. Very sore eyes just looking at Monaros, Porsches, Hyundais, the new Mazdas (how bright is that?!?) and that horrible, horrible Subaru yellow.
BMW went for the middle ground with LY and it works for me. I'm not a fan of LY and Black, as it gives the yellow a different look.
LY and white, with white wheels - there's nothing on the road that looks like it. Everyone notices it, and it's really easy to find my car in the car park.
It takes a certain amount of courage to choose LY on a MINI, easier choices are DS, EB, BRG, CR. But how many of these are there out there compared to the LY? Tons! I've got a pretty individual car. I'm happy about that.
DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY LY IN PHOTOS. SEE IT IN THE FLESH, THEN MAKE YOUR MIND UP.
