Hey everyone,

I'm the proud owner of a new (to me at least!) 2008 Mini Cooper S Clubman.

Yes, it was voted ugliest car by Top Gear in '07 and yes, I still adore it

I look forward to exploring the forums and learning about how awesome MINIs are.

Thanks!

 

I'm on the fence about top gear anyway so I don't give them much clout. I love the clubman and think they look great; the top gear guys not so much. I was following and admiring a clubman just yesterday on westside highway.

 

Congratulations and welcome! I'll be moving to the Boston area pretty soon where I'll be picking up a MINI. You should look into joining the MassMotoringClub forums too. There's lots of good people and info here on NAM and on the MMC forums. Happy motoring!

 

Welcome to the forum, I certainly find nothing wrong with a clubman's looks. There are some cars out there that are ugly, but a MINI isn't among them.

 

Just make sure you wave to other MINI drivers, too many non-waving Boston MINIs.

What color?

 

I don't get waves either :(

 

Welcome to the site! Whereas I see a ton of MC / MCS in SF I don't see as many Clubmans so I think it's kind of cool that they're a little more rare. But I like them both, of course.

 

Hey guys and gals,

@isthar:
I tried to add the color abbreviation to my sig...I don't know if it's correct though. Lightning Blue with silver roof and trim, Silver bonnet stripes. Carbon black/blue leatherette interior.

@juliansorl:
I love TOp Gear to death. To be honest I'm pretty happy Jeremy Clarkson hates my car, it makes me like my car even more.

@anuppercasej:
Thanks for pointing me to MMC. Oddly, just before reading this I had checked the NAM club map and found the MMC on there. I'll be sure to check things out.

@isthar and robinj:
I try waving, but too many tight-wads here in the northeast...maybe when the weather warms up they'll all be a bit more friendly. Won't stop me waving though!
