Put the MINI in the back of the TOJO and you should be fine.

saw a red MCSC on the way to work this morning, I hadn't realised they'd dropped the chrome fuel filler cap on MCS's now..... it looks a bit pov. maybe the chrome cap is only on chili pack?

The filler cap clashes with the roof mechanism... it is only a hardtop option.

ah OK. that sucks, the chrome fuel filler cap is one of my favorite design features on the car.

I've seen a few 'verts around this week, I also saw a CR MCC on the way in this morning, and there's one I see parked in a drive way on the way in every day.

I wasn't too pleased when I found out that the cabrio didn't have the Cooper S filler, but after owning it for 5 months, I don't think I'd want the chrome one anyway, I reckon it would make it a bit 'too busy' for my liking also it adds a little differentiation to the models

Yeh I always see this car on my way to work. It's parked on Kent st infront of Town Hall. There's also a DS/W MCS with 16" down the street on Kent st, parked infront of Kings Parking station.

Also on my way walking to my parking spot, I saw a red MCS with shark fin antenna on Sussex st.... scrapped his front bumper going chucking a u turn. Always see that car on Sussex st, parked usually out the front of the parking station, near the old Marigold Chinese Restaurant.

OK you got me

Anywho I had to go to the Vineyards yesterday and I spotted 2 MINI's, one a chilli red with white roof, MINI Cooper with P plates and two blonde girls aboard.
= (CR/W MC +PP)
And a chilli red with white roof, white stripes and auxilliary driving lights MINI Cooper (S) I couldn't see it's flap oh with a blonde guy driving it.
= (CR/W MC(S) w/ lights 'n stripes)

Anyone else seeing a pattern here
Blonde hair = CR/W

Let's investigate further, your help please

Hey, I have just seen this...

Is he thinking of bringing MY (note) MINI to the snow? He missed his chance to do some chirpies in the empty carpark on the way back from Tumut I think

Mary and Kyle aren't blonde CR/W drivers either. Nor are the ChilliReds. dsc68, nah, he's not a blonde either.

Nice theory Simon, but it's a load of cobblers!
