Greetings from Cincinnati!

Hello,

My name is Bob, just picked up my new (to me) 2010 Mini Cooper S Clubman. I love the car so far! It's got the sport package, cold weather package, manual, and so on. I'm coming from Audi, I just sold my beloved A4 1.8TQM, and this Clubman seems to be a fitting replacement.

Anyway, pictures. Also, if anyone knows the specs of the wheels currently on the car, could you fill me in?





Future plans include a roof rack for bikes, and summer wheels. Looking at 17x7 et40ish with 225/45r17 tires on stock sport suspension, should I expect any interferrence? Reason for the large tires is they are left over from autocrossing the Audi.

Haven't had my first wave yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

A few pics of where I'm coming from.
