So here's our story. The wife and I decided to get rid of our Mustang and VW GTI for a car that fit our needs. We already had a Honda Ridgeline so all of our truck needs were filled. The Mustang was a garage queen and was not really being enjoyed as much as it should have so it just didn't make sense to have it. the VW GTI was purchase new and we enjoyed the crap out of it for 10 years. We would track it, travel in it...just had a blast in it. Unfortunately it was starting to show it's age and needing too much work. So after trying out all kinds of cars and doing our research we settled on getting a Mini. We knew we wanted something with room in the back for our business and the Clubman was perfect for that. I love the peppiness of the little 1.5L and the barn doors on the back. We are still getting used to the car but so far, after having it for almost 2 weeks, I feel like we made the best choice. I haven't taken any pics of the inside yet so I don't have those to post, but we went with the My Mini Piano Black with the Sport Black Pearl leather seats and grey tweed inserts. Such a cool retro and modern mix for the interior. We chose the Moonwalker Grey exterior and love it! A few things i wish I would of got are the LED Fogs to go with the LED headlights, Rear Fog and the XL screen for the stereo. Other than that I wouldn't change anything on the car. We have some fun plans for it like the Black Jack mirror caps, black rims, off road lights and a 15 hour road trip to Colorado.
