Since it's actually my wife's, the club listing should be MAD MINI 2 -Julie B. For those of you that are waiting, feel free to ask any questions. We ordered #1 and had to endure the 6-8 weeks. Time goes real slow!
Love the Clubbie with your Lab! I've got 3, one of each color, so I'll be taking a pic just like that. Nice!

I tried to wave at a HC Clubman last night and then realized that the occupants were a prospective owner and an MA from the MINI dealership around the corner (Moritz). They were "a bit reoccupied" from the looks of it...and so this was actually the first time I did not mind not having a wave returned!!!!

HC ... the only color you'll be able to tell from the front that a Clubman is coming

Sign me up to the HC CLUB.
Signed the papers and placed my order for my Clubman on 5-2-08.
MA goofed and put the wrong Int surface........I found this out on Sat 3rd about lunch.
Called my MA and he checked.........ALREADY in production.
Had to re-order another clubbie with correct surface. MA said it could delay it a week or so.
Now I can check both......have production numbers for both.
First one due to be finished 5-10-08
Second went in production today 5-6-08"thanks for info from 866-ask-mini"
Scheduled to finish 5-13-08.

That seems pretty quick to get into production and finish.
Now just to sit back and WAIT

Well, I can discern the roof's dune lines from the front.

You're lucky that they were able to get your order in so quickly.

I can't show my wife this thread.....We went on Saturday to Order the HC/black and well last min i change the color to chili red/black... Let's say she isn't happy with my decision......Now i'm second guessing...Happier home with wife driving my clubman or me happier and sharing it with no one....


Hehe, think i'll stick with the chili red

You'll see in my signature, the car was named before i change the color...
