Hi everyone, Picking up my new HC/Black Clubman S today from Markel Mini in Omaha. I live in Des Moines. They have been very nice to deal with..pd sticker and got some cloth flrmats, other goodies like tshirts, cap, coffee mug as gifts. Auto trans, (since my other car is a 6spd. ) Mine will be my daily driver. Got HC lthr/clth int, liked the retro look more than the Leather lounge. Also got runflats w/ 17" webspokes..how's the ride on the runflats, anybody? Looking fwd to visiting with all of you...

 

run flats are not too bad, but the ride is much stiffer that regular tires and they are much more costly to replace. If you do not have a spare tire (I have an MCS non-clubman so I do not know if you do or not), replace them with some good run flats and get a AAA gold membership with unlimited towing, or a 5th wheel and tire to keep on hand in case of a flat.

 

Good luck and have fun! Sounds like a great little car.

 

Congratulations, DoveBar!

I'm probably still about a month from delivery. So, I jealous!

Enjoy!

 

congrats and let the fun begin

 

Congrats! Happy motoring!

 

Congratulations - if you have not already, join minicooperiowa (a yahoo group), also there is a Brit-Euro car show in Beaverdale on Saturday there will be 13 Minis there, stop by if you can, we would love to see the Clubman.
