I know what you mean - my other half has the ubiquitous silver mark iv golf. I have a photo of it in the car park for my flat in London. Every car bar my (at the time) hyper blue MCS was the same (I'm sorry to say) rather dull shade of silver.

I guess a lot of the appeal of minis is that you can be a bit different and stand out from the crowd - quite difficult if you're driving a car that's the same colour as 90% of the sensible cars on the road.....
