Hey! Congrats, rjb!! I am glad that you are in the pcitures, it is always fun to see someone so big and tall standing beside their Mini!!!! I can't wait to get my clubman and see how my son, who is 6'6", fits....

If you don't have a sunroof he'll probably fit fine...I'm 6'3" and have a good 4 inches between me and the roof. Can't speak for the back seat of a Clubman though

I haven't installed the suspension yet, a buddy of mine works for Mercedes and is going to get it done for me. The fact that he owes me money and this will cost me nothing out of pocket makes it that much better

Nice ride. Amazing that you actually fit inside a mini, thats great!

Enjoy the ride.
My wife and I are short so the car has more than plenty of room for us.

Haha, you make me look small next to mine; by your standards, I am! Great dichotomy.

Can I ask about the tires. Did you ask for the all-weather tire option or do you have the performance run-flats? If the latter, how did the tires do in that squall, and if the snow was sticking how deep did it get?

Looking forward to hear how they fair in the snow: good, passable, miserable, or a white-knuckler.
