Hehe, think i'll stick with the chili red

You'll see in my signature, the car was named before i change the color...
Change it back to HC if it's not too late. In fact, if there are any other changes she wants to make, go ahead and do it. It's better to pay the extra cash now than to have her resent you and the car later. Trust me, I speak from experience.

It's really ironic, This is the only weekend all year I've got commited. My
wife has a ballet school and annual recital is this weekend. I do the stage
lighting and run the sound board for her. Dress rehersal is Sat. and performance is Sunday, Mothers Day. My Clubman is in and sitting on the
shoeroom floor at Roadshow in Memphis......Drool.....drool. I'm out of
town next week on business so I'm going to pick it up next Saturday. It's
going to be a loooooong week. I'll post some pics next weekend.













it's

NICE

Anybody got pics of HC non-S with the sport stripes "close together down the middle".......but maybe more like a Shelby or Viper stripe. I am sure thinking silver, about 8" wide each.

Yippieeeee! It really is quite different isn't it? Driving mine today made me realize, again, how glad I was to have it.

So happy for you and the Missus to have your HCMCCa!

So I read on our NEMINI.org site. Did you call or was it already too late?

We'll have to get together and compare notes about how amazing this new automatic 2nd Gen MINI is - and how much more room we have in our bigger MINIs.

I don't have my HC Clubman yet, but I'm hoping to get it before the end of May (wishing for pre-Memorial Day ). I'd like to apply for HC membership, please .
