Awesome, there's a bright red cooper 2015 in my building actually.. I sort of want to leave them a note on their dash telling them that the MCS friend below them says HI.. haha. How creepy would that be? LOL

Go for it, ThunderSeven!

My wife still talks about a note left on her 2002 Electric Blue MCS Hardtop from a couple months ago: I fuc*ing love your car! (It was written in a cool, maybe gothic style of writing).

2 in the family. I'm not mocking the Orange at all . I think Mini ran their course with it and made it the signature color due to market research. Looks like it paid in spades for them. I like to poke a little fun from time to time.

Well, this obviously shows my ignorance and lack of knowledge of the mini history.
Firstly of all the hundreds of minis on the road I see very few VO's and didn't realise it was a 'signature' colour ( that mini have ran their course with it?), is that now a euphemism for 'common'? or 'old hat?
What I meant by mocking, is that it seems to be a common comment passed on the VO, by people on all the mini forums I have been reading. I take no offence I just wondered why and, to use a common vernacular of which I dislike ' why are there so many haters out there?
Did I really write that?!
And by the way, on re-reading thisI don't mean to sound as serious as this post seems to sound.

Have to agree 2Inthefamily. I don't get the passed its course comment. I've never seen a bmw mini in any colour that comes close to vo but they did do a pastel yellow and a lime at some point.and the rust type metallic. Love that one! There was a very orange prototype mini at the factory. Maybe there's more to come.Ford focus st orange! Lambos and Ferraris also suit yellows/ orange. See where I'm going here .......!

Jeremy, to be honest I was expecting more from "Volcanic" orange. Especially after googling the color and finding it on exotic cars and BMWs around the web.

Having said that, the orange-in-hand is better than the orange-yet-to-be!

You're right it has. to be seen in the flesh. I was the other way. Likedit but not sure I'd love it but now I hAve it I can't take my eyes off it.

You ever heard that saying (The Best Things in life are FREE).
I like free things in my life,and having a Machine with a bit of Volcanicity will serve me well. ;-)

It never ceases to amaze me that vo is free. Think they'll change their mind?
