MINI Beachcomber concept

I had a great time at the 2010 NAIAS during press time. I got to experience the press conferences automakers were having, especially MINI. At the MINI press conference, they revealed the MINI Beachcomber concept. I did take photos before their press conference, which was at 2:45 pm and I got there at 7:00 am, and after the press conference when journalists were there and I have to say the Beachcomber concept looks great. Have a look for yourself in my gallery and you tell me what you think. This car is based on the upcoming MINI Countryman which will hopefully be released in the US this year for the 2011 model year. I’m almost thinking of ordering the Countryman instead of the Clubman as My Next MINI. I’ll keep you posted on what I know, till then, Motor On!

Pepper White Clubman S

This potentially could be my next MINI that I will order next year. It has all the options I’d like, but also have black side stripes as well. The interior is the standard black leatherette, I might be changing that to the cloth interior like I had on my 2004 MCS. 6 speed manual tranny, front driving lights (when I added the front black driving lights on miniusa website they didn’t come in right, so I left them off), silver stripes on roof, but I might order custom ones from cooperflags I just need to find out if they can provide me with pepper white color stripes, that would look a lot better I think. I do like the way the JCW aero kit looks like. I did see it in person on the Rally edition Clubman and it looks great! I didn’t order a sunroof, but I did get the cold weather package (it gets cold here in Michigan) as well as the convenience package. I decided to skip the sport package and the premium package. The black 17″ Crown Spoke rims with the performance  tires look awesome on this MINI,

but I will have to order some snow tires for the winter here in Michigan, most likely with a set of steel rims… black of course :) I’m sure next year or maybe even tomorrow I’ll have a different idea of how my next MINI should look like, but for now I’ll stick with this one. Motor On!

MINI Clubman JCW

I saw this MINI at the dealer yesterday. It’s a 2009 MINI Cooper Clubman JCW with 7,000 miles on it and asking price is $34,000. The MINI looks great, MINI JCW frontit has a 6-speed manual tranny, black leatherette interior. I would love to buy this MINI, but the timing is not perfect at the moment. It is slightly used and I have no problem with used cars (my current car I bought used), but for me a MINI is suppoed to be part of your character and I feel like something ismissing.. one of the things I noticed is that it’s MINI JCW rearmissing rear fog lamps and I bet you’re thinking so what? Well let me tell you.. I like to have all of the switches inside under the radio filled, looks weird to me when there’s an open spot… but that’s just me. There are a few more pictures of this MINI in my picture gallery here…. enjoy :)

Here are some pictures of the MINI Cooper S with the Mayfair package that just arrived at Motor City Mini. The color brown looks really nice and the chocolate interior looks great. I’ll be taking some pictures of the interior this weekend. For now enjoy some exterior shots of the Mayfair. Till then, Motor On!

2009 MINI Cooper Oxygen Blue

First images of my very good friends 3rd MINI (or as we like to call her new MINI MC3). She is very excited that she finally picked up her new MINI. It’s a really nice looking color (oxygen blue), the swatches at the dealer or even pictures don’t do it justice. I personally wouldn’t order my MINI in this color, but the color fits my friends personality perfectly. 16″ black bridge spoke rims, black roof and mirror caps. It looks really sharp with black driving lights. She’ll be putting in tinted windows in her MINI, whick I think will add more character to her MINI. Beige leather interior, convenience package, sport package, premium package & aero kit. I’ll be posting more picutres of her MINI on here, I just have to decide which ones. Once she’s done adding her touches to it (tinted windows, some very nice grille badges & front euro license plate) I’ll post more pictures. It’s gonna look great. That’s one of the things I love about MINI, there are so many options out there to make it yours and to fit your presonality. All other cars are boring and all seem to look the same.
