Any one picking up a HB clubman soon? I've got a deposit down and hope to be driving by this weekend.

Can't wait to see yours - and everyone else's, too. From the photos I've seen, I have fallen head over heels for your color choice!

Here is a picture of my Horizon Blue Clubman S, in the bay at MINI of Peabody, waiting for stripes. What do you think?

I wish I were better at this, but I couldn't help myself from playing with your HB/S Clubman!

I placed an order on Christmas eve. Scheduled for production to start I think next week. I've been told REPEATEDLY that they were NOT producing any CLUBMANs in HB until production week 10. so this info kind of pisses me off.

but I am happy for you~

littleone, if you don't mind, please shoot some pics of your clubman outside when you get it. We'd all love to see how it looks in the sun.

Congrats on the new baby~ I'm super jealous.

Go fertile-turtle!

If you haven't looked through this thread on MINI2, you must because there are photos that show up much more clearly of a Horizon Blue convertible. http://www.mini2.com/forum/mini-medi...7-reviews.html Scroll through because there is more than one set posted.

For example here are two...they're not clickable here but they are on that thread I posted the link to. Post #45 has a particularly beautiful one that really shows off the color well. If this color had been available when I ordered mine, it would have been an easy first choice for me. I love it!

My MA said he's send me more pictures taken outside once the stripes are on. Hopefully that will be tomorrow. Congrats on your build Fertile-Turtle.

Here she is with the stripes. Sorry, it's still not in the direct sunlight. Hopefully Saturday's delivery will be a sunny affair.
