New Clubman owner in Montreal

Hi everyone,

I just ordered a 2013 Mini Cooper Clubman, chili red with the black roof and stripes.
Expected delivery on November 31.

I've been reading A LOT of threads on this forum in the past 2 weeks in order to make the right decision since I currently own a 2010 Subaru Impreza and was looking at the 2013 model. After I test drove the Mini, I was sold! And the new Impreza was kind of boring compared to my 2010.

Anyhow, I'm glad to be a (future) Mini owner and I'll be seeing you around in the next few years.

Here's what it will look like:

Welcome!
Great color! You know, Chili Red MINIs are the fastest!

Congrats and great color combo! Enjoy the car when it comes in. The waiting is the toughest part, but at least the first North American stop for the cargo ship stops is Halix.

P.S. Great city! Love going up there for the F1 Grand Prix race and have some family in the area.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

@DnerpDave: I know! That is exactly why I chose the Chili Red!

@MyroMini: C'est certain que je vais passer par le Club Mini Québec. Otherwise, I was hesitating between the Chili Red/Black combo vs the Hot Chocolate/Silver one. Did you like your Hot Chocolate Clubman?

@NJ Mini: The waiting will be hard, but I have to sell my 2010 Impreza in the meantime. Plus, the dealer can loan me a Mini if I sell my car before my Clubman arrives. So, I might be driving a Mini soon! And yes, Montreal is awesome during the summer (or "roadwork season" as we call it here).

Yes, really loved my HC with silver roof. Would have kept same color combo when sold traded it for an S, but it did not feel like a really new car if keeping the same
