New Clubman S in Seymour, CT

Hi. My name is Suzanne, I live in Seymour, CT and I just bought a Mini Cooper Clubman S.

I bought the Pepper White with the Black top and accents, Manual Transmission (never drove manual before, this is my second week), black strips in the front, premium package, cold weather package, cream white color line, piano black finish, black headliner (whatever that is), armest, zenon headlights, wheel locks, and a few other options that I cant think of.

I picked it up Saturday morning and LOVE it!

Anything I should know? Are there any mini clubs in my area? What kinda cleanser should i be using it wash it? I did notice that the stripes have lines on them from the wiper fluid that I cant get off - anyone else get that?

Thanks!

Welcome Clubbie owner

Always glad to see new MINI Clubbie owners.
Welcome to NAM, oh by the way you can also post pictures just log into NAM then go to the upper left hand corner of the page and go into My Gallery and post you pictures there. Not everyone goes onto Photo Bucket, you should be able to add plenty of pictures in the Gallery there. Heck check my photo's out.
So what is your clubbie's name ??
Anyway welcome to NAM.

Congrats and welcome!

Like everyone else has posted, pics are always appreciated.

And an FYI for you... the next time you get in you Mini, look up. The inside surface of the roof is your black headliner. See? You've learned something new today!
