New to the world of minis

Greetings everyone!

I just picked up this 2013 cooper clubman s about a week ago. I wasn't looking for a mini in particular when I was looking for a new car, but this little clubman really caught me eye. My wife and I love it so far and I can't wait to chuck it around some corners this summer!

Cheers,
Justin

Looks great! I like the color matched roof. I see aftermarket wheels... any other mods on the car already?

Thanks! From what I can tell, it's just the aftermarket wheels. It'll probably stay relatively stock for a while since I use it primarily for commuting... I dont want any reliability issues

By the way, just based on your screen name, my Mum adored her '64 Corvair Monza convertible. That one had the six, and the camber compensator.

Cheers,

Charlie

Corvairs are a passion of mine. I currently have three, a 63 monza coupe and two 64 coupes, one of which is the turbocharged spyder version

What a great looking clubman, the colour is the best. My dream would to have one of those with a 210JCW R53 motor and R53 front end.

Thanks! I eventually would like to give it a full JCW face-lift as well, maybe once its not being used as a commuter...
