Mini UK Website Updated

The configurator on www.mini.co.uk has now been updated for the 2006 specifications.

The colour choices do look rather dull. Not that I'm complaining because I only care about Hyper Blue and it's there!

The site isn't giving any pictures of the Hyper Blue exterior yet.

This is how it's going to be for the US market too.

Blimmey, the colours are well boring for such a funky car. The only one I like now is hyper blue - yellow, electric blue and solid black were my favourites before

Yellow is still there for everyone but S's so it's no all bad.

Also - although they look a little more subtle the colours are still great - Liquid Yellow, Chili Red, Hyper Blue, (Pepper White) are all pretty bright - we're only missing Electric Blue.

Perhaps this is a marketing move to allow the 2007 launch of the 'new model' to inject brightness and fun back into the Mini range? Let me know what you think?

To reiterate - I don't care if all other colours dissappeared of the face of the earth - as long as Hyper Blue was ok (and they limited production after I took delivery - wouldn't want a common colour now would I!?)

They're only offering those (to start with at least) on the special edition MINIs.

I've just noticed my reputation is quite poor :-(

Haven't been on Mini2 for a while, however last year if I remember correctly it was pretty high - then the other day it was showing up as a black dot (not showing reputation), I then changed my configuration to show reputation and it showed up as 1 green dot?

Anyone know why this is? I know we've diversed but I noticed that Mr Mullet has been reading my threads! Surely that's worth a green dot!
