God Speed from Indianapolis!

 

Congrats on your new MINI! Hope you enjoy it for a long, loooonnnngg time...

 

Welcome to the forum, good looking MINI you have there, enjoy!

 

Welcome!

I love the way your stripes are continued down the bumper in the front. I'm working on that for mine right now. The contrasting stripes on the roof are really nice too. I'm trying to decide if I want to do something like that or buy an overlay for the whole Roof.

This is really a great site and you can learn tons about your new baby...

 

I dropped the laser off to have the dealership do a few things to her. In the mean time they are letting me drive a loaner 08 mc. I am amazed at how softer the suspension is on the MC. My Clubman is a very stiff ride, I know it offers better performance but wonder what the actual difference is. Do they stiffen up the Clubman S that much?

 

Berry, Berry (as in Blue) nice.

 

apexslide: awesome color combination. I am a big fan of the stripes and am thinking of adding side diagonal stripes or stripes down the barn doors of my 2010 Chili Red. Maybe at x-mas time.

I test drove a Clubman S, but wound up getting a regular Clubman. I did not notice that much of a difference in the ride between the S and regular version. But I also had to take my Clubby to the dealer to get stitching on the seat repaired, and they gave me a loaner MC. I noticed that the MC felt more "mushy." I'm not an expert, but my guess is that the Clubman may be a stiffer ride than the regular MC.

good luck with the new baby! Hope you picked out a name for it!
