Hi everyone,

I am looking for pics of Minis that are blue (as in Morris' mainly) for colours like indigo blue etc. I know that there are topics on this, but really cant find it.

Could someone help me to find the thread?

OR

If anyone could post up pics of original blue Minis, that would be great.

Many thanks
Chris

Mate, would love to help.
Only trouble is, I also can't get the search to work for me either.
Can this be modified to work?
Over to you, administrators.....

There is nothing wrong with the search function. If you have a read of the text that is beside the search box it may enlighten you how to use it.

I just searched then. If you click search and type "blue AND mini AND pic* AND colour" into the search box and select "Mini Chat" as the forum the link that Jess posted is about the 7th down out of two pages worth of results. Two pages worth of results isn't that many to wade through when you can tell from the title of most whether it is worth looking at.

Some things that make it heaps easier to track a thread down:

Search Box wrote:
Search for Keywords:
You can use AND to define words which must be in the results, OR to define words which may be in the result and NOT to define words which should not be in the result. Use * as a wildcard for partial matches


Search Box wrote:
Search for Author:

I got that (^^^) from right beside the search box :wink:

Yes, that is the search engine that the board comes with - just the way it is.

As Jess said, you don't have to type AND all the time, just click search all terms. I don't mind a bit of programming (depending on the language) so I prefer to type AND, OR, NOT etc. It's just a personal preference of mine.

Hi Chris,

There are a few nice shots in the muster threads from this year, Roundie's car (the one with whitewalls) is Marine blue, very close to indigo, and mine is the deluxe with a shiny engine bay (MIN681) which is indigo:

http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45512

In this thread lachie has a couple of my deluxe and Roundie's '850' side by side, good comparison of two factory dark blue cars. (mine was sprayed Indigo blue in 2-pac about 12 years ago):
