Hellooooo.
I get to see the Gingerbread Man tommorrow AM. Picking up clubman in Memphis at Roadshow Mini. It will be interesting to see how well the vision
in my mind turns out in real life. As of yet I have NOT seen a clubman in the real, only on the web sites. This is what happens when you live in the black
hole in the universe.

That's a great looking Clubman, rockhouse. Love to see more photos that give a better view of the exterior (and particularly the black Sport Stripe, if I see it correctly).

These Clubmen look so good - the HC seems at home both in the country and city, what a versatile MINI! Congrats to you both and lurch, I'm particularly happy to hear that the "baptismal" rain didn't stop you from shooting those pix! Very nice - that first one, when you click on it, is really super and love that "no parking sign"...seriously a very good shot.

Hello fellow HC Owners!

Hello all! All of the pictures of HC Clubmans look great! I am anxiously awaiting mine. I ordered it at the dealer (MINI of Pittsburgh) in April. I ordered: HC/HC cloth/leather, silver roof/pillars, convenience pkg, premium pkg, cold weather pkg, piano blk interior surface, cream white color line, and foglights. I'm planning on adding checkered mirror caps and the checkered sunroof cover as well.

The production spot I purchased isn't scheduled for production until the end of June! So I will have to wait until the end of July for my new MINI I can't decide what to name it, but I have time to figure that out! I just wanted to say hi and join the HC Owners Club. Happy Motoring!

Hi everyone. Question for those of you with the HC Lounge intereior - what color floormats did you get? The only color I see on the MINI website is black, yet from the look of a picture I saw, the interior carpet is actually brown. Any ideas?

We went for the rubber mats (black). They're easy to clean and actually don't look that bad.

Ordered!

Well, I ordered my Hot Chocolate Clubman yesterday and got my Production Number. I am slated for week 27, so the burning question is, when do I become an official member of the Official Hot Chocolate Owners Club?

dark brown and some black woven stripes. I'll post a pic this week end.
