hey all, I just bought my first Mini the other day, a manual trans 2010 Mini Cooper S Clubman. My whole life I have been a die hard Subaru fan, but I just got sick of the expensive and time consuming scheduled maintenance and head gaskets, so I decided to try something new. I absolutely love this car! I'm a tall guy and I tend to have passengers or hauling stuff so a standard Cooper just wasn't in the cards and I really liked the AWD option in the Countryman.. but I couldn't find one in my area in my price range so the Clubman fit just right lol. I'm not quite sure what i am going to do to the car, but I am looking forward to showing off what I come up with!

 

Welcome to NAM and the world of MINI Motoring! You scored a very nice ride! How many miles on it, and is it stock or have some prior modifications? If you are interested, here are some articles and information on the Clubman. Please let us know if we can help!

I bought it with 91k on the clock. It is completely stock right now other than the antenna. It had severe weather cracking so I replaced it with a stubby antenna. I also just did a complete brake job since it had the brake light on for wear sensors. Also, when I bought it, it had the drivers airbag/seatbelt light illuminated and thanks to this site, i found the crushed wires to the seat position sensor and fixed those up for free!

 

Congrats , looks like you have plasti dip the wheels and have Lamin X on the lower fog lights on the Clubman , can tell from the lighting but looks like you have a silver top, very nice combo.

 

Welcome to NAM and congratulations on the purchase of your R55! I really like the silver top on black. Hope you enjoy.

 

Excellent! You are well on your way to the enthusiast level!
