Traded in Clumban for 5 series

I have not posted in a while due to life's other demands, but with another kid due in January I decided to trade in the 2008 BRG/HC Clubman S for a 535i. Completely different cars with a different purpose. I will miss the Clubby as it took me a long time to order and take delivery last year.

I have a Whalen Machine shift **** and some M7 tower strut braces that I need to sell, but apart from that, my MINI experience has sadly come to an end.

I would not look at the Mini Experience as coming to an end, with a new baby is a new begining, you can always get back into a mini in the Future.
I am on the other end, 2 of my 3 kids are driving, and I have become a 5 car household, so more cars but smaller in size for the most part.

Pre Congrats on the baby in January!!

In 2007, I parted ways with my (technically wife's) cooper. Here on the dawn of 2010, I'm back in one (MCCS)! So, you never know... pawn it off to your wife :-P

Our 2nd child is due in April. We'll have an eleven year old and a zero year old. We currently are a one driver two car household. with the 2008 MCSC convertible and an eight year old big tree SUV. I feel momentous changes, vehicles wise and otherwise, are in our future.

We have a three and eight year old. Have found our MINI to be a wonderful kid-car. Of course the Pacifica (would love to dump this car) is the primary kid/grocery, travel car. I say keep Clubby (if it's not too late)
