I remember it, because I chose it

Perhaps Peugeot and BMW are sharing more than just engine designs now

Hi Rocky or MINI me GB (not sure who the car belongs to)
Could you take some pics of the oxygen blue MINI in better light

. It would put some of us undecided out of our misery.

I have ordered Chill Red (with white roof) because the oxygen blue 'swatch' looked grey in the showroom. This will be by fourth MINI. None of the dealers round me (Hampshire) have oxygen blue MINIs. I would probably go for a white roof.

Thank you

Puffenstuf · Mar 21st, 2007, 05:52 PM

Hello Rocky,

Could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post more pictures of the Oxygen Blue MINI??? I ordered one myself and I would very much like to see some more pics, because the one posted here does not resemble the configurator color or the dealers sample at all! In fact I hope it will turn out to be lighter in real life.

@ Rennie: how many more days to go?
@ Chawton MINI: yes, go for the white roof!

Hi Puffenstuf,
I agree with you about the colors not matching AT ALL. Very weird. My oxygen blue/white MC arrived at the VDC in NJ on Monday (even though 1-866-ASK-MINI is still staying it's at the port awaiting a vessel

). I live in NJ so I'm hoping to get a call from my MA any day now. I'll take pictures and post them as soon as I get home from picking up my MINI.

In the meantime, I'd love to see more pics posted here if anyone has them.

Rennie · Mar 24th, 2007, 12:15 AM

Here's my oxygen blue/white MC. The car is still at the dealer and needs to be prepped for pick up on Monday. This picture was taken on a rainy, overcast day, so it probably looks even better on a sunny day. Sorry about the quality.

Scrogg · Mar 24th, 2007, 12:19 AM

Looks great Rennie. I can't believe it has arrived so quickly!

So much for getting a Chili Red eh?

Or a sparkling silver with a white...then black...then white ...then black roof.

I'm so glad you like it!

Rennie · Mar 24th, 2007, 12:44 AM

A couple more pics

KenL · Mar 24th, 2007, 09:46 AM

That is a great colour - congrats.

yellowmininy · Mar 24th, 2007, 12:49 PM

I like it.

Can't wait to see one in person. Thanks for posting the pic!

Mini E · Mar 24th, 2007, 02:08 PM

I can't wait to get mine now!! and as it's a one it's Blue all over!! hoping to pick up mid - end April!! Rocky, thanks so much for letting me gawp at your lovely Mini - promise we didn't touch! Made me change my mind from lightening blue to oxygen!! (which gave me the extra money for the Mini Hifi!!)

As soon as i get it, i'll post some piccies!

Puffenstuf · Mar 24th, 2007, 03:03 PM

Lovely car, Rennie! But you already knew that

@Mini E: yes, please! More pictures of the OB! Mine is going into production next week, delivery probably week 16. Until then I can never see enough pictures...

ScottieCoop · Mar 24th, 2007, 05:24 PM

very nice. I've got a couple pics on my phone saw one at the dealers yesterday and got to say the colour looks great in the flesh. One of my favs I think but it is all down to personal choice and taste.

supa-dupa-cooper · Mar 24th, 2007, 08:26 PM

It look fab with a white roof, saw one at the factory and i liked it as soon as i saw it

That's great, Chawton MINI! I also went from CR/W to Oxygen Blue/White and I'm glad I did. I think you'll be very happy.

Rennie · Mar 28th, 2007, 02:43 PM

Here's another picture in the sun. The color looks a bit lighter.
