I keep reading posts about people getting this "Velvet Red" Colour. Is that like the Solid Red in England or is it a new Metallic Colour. I want black but it would be interesting to see this new colour

Ibb · Feb 12th, 2002, 09:22 AM

The velvet red is a kind of cherry colour red, balc is awesoem, especially cosmos black

Do a search and you'll find quite a few.

Still looking for some VR/black pictures anyone please?

Varse · Feb 12th, 2002, 09:35 AM

How come you manage to get them in that big??

Ibb · Feb 12th, 2002, 09:48 AM

Wow VR is very nice indeed

They are from Paul's visit to the factory in the news section. Go to www.mini2.com/search and search for 'tour' you will find the page...

No I meant I've got them on my C drive and posted via the browse, it then tells me they are too large and to reduce to a certain size!! Same with all the amsterdam ones.

Yes, there is a size limit for image files you attach to your post, but there is no size limit for image files, (already on the Internet), that you link to.

In his post, Monsta linked to those Velvet Red files that Paul had posted elsewhere on this site.

He's right you know!

Varse · Feb 12th, 2002, 11:20 AM

Forgive my mistake. I was under the impression that when you linked to something you inserted a link , like www.mini2.com ,and then other users click on it to see the picture, not inserted a bloody big picture!!

Which was what I wanted to do.

When you post a message, to stick an image in the post, click the IMG grey button above the box you type in, then the loaction (on the internet) of the image.

smartbomb · Feb 12th, 2002, 12:18 PM

Picture smichture ! It's still brown !

batemano · Feb 12th, 2002, 03:04 PM

So is this colour going to be available or not? It looks quite classy.

smiffy · Feb 12th, 2002, 03:08 PM

It should be available in the in early Spring (I think)

batemano · Feb 12th, 2002, 03:09 PM

Nice

. Is there going to be more colours to follow?

smiffy · Feb 12th, 2002, 03:13 PM

Pepper White

Damo · Feb 12th, 2002, 07:02 PM

Hmmmmm I Think I'll definitly keep Black. Form the pictures It looks more like dog poo brown than red. Although Indi Blue looks naff in pictures but really good in person. Black on the other hand looks cool close up and in pictures, just not dirty :-( I'll stick with Black. Nice to see a few differant colours croping up tho!

Varse · Feb 13th, 2002, 03:48 AM

Brown my a**e, thats just like saying that the BRG looks black in that light, maybe it does, but it isn't.

Besides brown is the new black!

This picture shows it much better. Available from March delivery, as is Pepper White.

Damo · Feb 13th, 2002, 05:42 AM

Hmmm it does look better in that picture, but its still no black!
