That does look nice

Olly. · Aug 13th, 2005, 08:55 PM

That looks cool. Really like the wheels

fergusor · Aug 13th, 2005, 08:56 PM

I've ordered one, due for delivery end of September / beginning of October

They're not available until the beginning of September, how did the owner of that one get it so early?

Is it an Oxford reg plate?

You're right, OA to OY is Oxford. So perhaps it's a MINI exployee.

That's what I wondered - lucky b*gger!

Olly. · Aug 13th, 2005, 09:26 PM

What colour is it?? Not a standard MINI colour is it??

foxmoor · Aug 13th, 2005, 09:32 PM

I like the color, but not the Checkmate pattern on the sides. Will this particular blue color and silver roof/trim be available in the States in 2006? Thanks!

It's a Checkmate-only colour combination - Space Blue / Silver

The only thing I don`t really like is the way the seats have been done. But I didn`t hang around to much as it was chucking it down with rain.

uncle albert · Aug 14th, 2005, 11:48 AM

Loving those wheels. Nice colour as well.

Lanfear · Aug 15th, 2005, 12:14 AM

At the risk of sounding like Paris Hilton, that's hot!
