Man, after seeing the pics from you lot in the UK at the Pikes Peak Run - I saw one of that Pepper White Mini (sorry I forgot the owner's name). See here:

This car is unbelieveable! I love the color in natural overcast daylight.

Decisions, decisions....Jet Black or Pepper White. Pepper White can only be ordered with a black roof, correct?

-Peter

It's just you

Looks like a big cream puff!!

Can be ordered with a body coloured roof.

Der Blue Potato · Apr 30th, 2002, 09:25 AM

Fair enough , but I am also a Jordie in disguise (in the US)....and a Gunner's fan.

(don't tell anyone)

spanky2k · Apr 30th, 2002, 09:26 AM

Definitely just you. Looks like a giant marshmallow.

Shocking, although not as bad as being a Man U fan! I can't stand Arsene Wenger, but must congratulate you on a fine season, the league title is well deserved, and I'm a Liverpool man! I'll be cheering for Jimmy Floyd on Sat though I'm afraid.

Why not Newcastle, if you're a Geordie?

ELISEBOY · Apr 30th, 2002, 09:53 AM

I never got to see the car in the flesh, so the piccis posted were my first glance at the White and I have to say I think it looks great.

Would be quite happy to drive around in one of those.

Dom · Apr 30th, 2002, 09:55 AM

I like it because it contrasts well with the roof and arches. But then, I don't think the MINI has any bad colours...

medallion in the post to him, Varse???

Personally I reckon the white looks excellent from a distance, but I've yet to see one up close in the flesh, so will refrain from further comment!

Pepper Whites not for me either, I must say.......Id take any of the black colours any day.....

Der Blue Potato · Apr 30th, 2002, 10:32 AM

Maybe it is just me, but I like the vintage hues and colors teh best and this this white (to me) looks very classic and vintage. Put a red interior and some Panasports on the corners and you have a pretty sweet looking Mini!

Have to agree, all those black colours really are for me. Favourites black, followed by black and then its a close tie for third between black and black. Hangon... black's not actually a colour is it. Hmmm... have to rearrange my ranks a bit...

M · Apr 30th, 2002, 11:22 AM

The car in question is mine

I can confirm that it looks stunning in any light and that the colour is Old English White a proper cream colour not really white.

I can also confirm that red interior is the only way forward

It also gives me great pleasure to announce that the car has been christened Varse in honour of its biggest fan and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to get a photo of them both side by side

Pepper White and Red the combination of connosseurs(sp)

For any one thinking of getting the colour:
1. If you're anywhere nearby then come and have a look. PM me for directions I'm in Northampton
2. If you're nowhere near me then do what I did and order blind, its more exciting and well worth it.

I couldn't agree more...but then again...That's the colour combo I finalised on Saturday for my July delivery Cooper!!

(Yes with the red Kaleido interior...). My only question (and excuse my ignorance...) but what are Panasports??

Varse · Apr 30th, 2002, 11:35 AM

I would be more than happy to put in a celebrity appearance with my namesake. How's about me sprawling semi-naked across the bonnet??!!

I do quite like the door numbers. What do you reckon about the stripes M??

I totally agree, ordering blind is great, scary and exciting but has always worked out well for me.

Just been offered a new job, so finally might be out on the road again, so no doubt will be flying past Northampton sometime in the near future.

I hope you and Varse will be very happy. A little tip, try a nice rub down with a spot of Extra Virgin olive oil now and again.

He likes that.....

Der Blue Potato · Apr 30th, 2002, 11:38 AM

Medazza - Panasport Wheels below. I am torn between jet Black and Tartan red and Pepper White and Tartan red - is the Pepper white color still on hold for US and Canada? When will you be seeing yours?

medazza · Apr 30th, 2002, 11:55 AM

I wasn't aware there was a delay for Pepper White. And according to my dealer, he's expecting on for delivery in June and one for delivery in July (mine!).

As for whether to go for black or white with the red interior, go with what your gut says. In either case, neither of them will be too popular

Semi naked on the bonnet, extra virgin olive oil rub down

Ooh err

The stripes are OK ish, nasty white trims down each side which don't show too much on a white car but would look awful on say yellow or silk green, and they're a bit too close together and at too acute an angle.

That said it is easily the biggest attention grabbing car I've been in for a while and I've got SS+ deleted and the handling is possibly better than standard Chilli, you get a little more feedback

Let me know if you do pass by a photo would be v. funny

Dshelton · Apr 30th, 2002, 12:00 PM

Yuck!!! A few miles down the Motorway and this will look rank!! Anyone got any pics of the Graphite Metalic? Ive seen them pass by on trucks but were goin too quick.

Did no-one tell you MINI's are supposed to be dirty, proves you've been driving them on the right kind of roads

Graphite (Dark Silver) is a Cooper S colour, should be a couple of pics under Cooper S Gallery

Der Blue Potato · Apr 30th, 2002, 12:49 PM

Thanks to a friendly forum photoshop expert, I have taken M's Pepper White Miata for a spin and bought him some new Panasport wheels. Hope you didn't mind
