Congrats on your purchase, pics are required when you pick it up!

I drove both (loaded GTI @ $35 and Clubman S 2 $36) and decided to order the JCW as the majority of the options on the S were included on the JCW. This was a company car for me and I wanted a Manual wagon that was fun to drive. I refused to go with a BMW or Audi as I couldn't justify pulling up to clients in a "fancy" car. People perceive Mini as being cheaper even though it's not really the case.

I thought the GTI was more fun to drive as a sports car but just fell in love with the whole package of the Mini. Plus there was that whole brand loyalty thing...I also have a 2004 R53.

Nice job! Didn't think they offered BRG as a color on Clubman. At least not here.

It’s not offered in the US but it is available in Canada for some reason.

It's available for JCWs ... unless "Rebel Green" is different (darker).

Rebel Green is only on JCW's and it's different than BRG. Darker I think.

There was an almost identical Green used exclusively on the "WC 50" JCW special model a few years back. I think they just renamed it Rebel Green for these cars.

You guys didn't have Moonwalk Grey for some reason, at least not for the F56 in 2014.
