Thought Todd had done a flaT black wrap, but it turns out it's a factory paint job "Frozen Black" If you never want to wax your car this is the paint finish for you.

I saw the link to this one. It looks like only 60 will be imported to the US? I would probably dump the R56 for it :)

Could be cheaper to just have your car vinyled or plast-dipped to this color. Much much cheaper

Does that make it 4 doors?

LOL. I am tired of two doors but I am not sold on the C-Man. Looking at the GTI or R32. The Focus ST is nice but is on the bottom of the list. I won't even entertain a Scoobaru.

The countryman is more mini like than the paceman but they do have a new five mini coming out as well as the new clubman.

That is depressing news because I did not like the C-man that I drove back in Colorado. The suspension was sloppy and the acceleration was slow. I guess I shouldn't compare it to my R56 since it is really a mini suv with MINI badges on it.

A Pacman is a mini C-man. This new 5 Mini actually looks like a MINI. There is hope!!

It showed up? Great! I was there when Ric was debating whether to order one or not. Way back in October, I think.
