Aonach, those strips are just reflectors, the single fog light is within the light cluster.

Nice looking mobile! What portions of the seats are real leather, may I ask? 62mpg, that's outrageous. I still think US buyers would order some diesels if they had the same torque as the Cooper. About 1/3 buy it in the US.

 

I guess if you think about it though we still are cheaper because their fuel prices are more than double ours, so if we get half their MPG we still are ahead.

 

Some good names and the HC Clubman looks awesome! But the ultimate name for the Hot Chocolate colour is "Errol"
........ why?...... later, my boss just came by...

 

What! No one figured this out yet? "ERROL"

 

How about this?

Hot Chocolate was a British pop band of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s formed by Errol Brown (a Briton who was born in Jamaica).

 

Good googling! Don't you think Errol would be a great a name?

 

Yes. Even more appropriate when one of their biggest hits was "You Sexy Thing".

 

My mothers favourite song! and his last name is Brown

 

Just ordered one. Black mirrors / roof / c-pillars. Thanks to those photos I really see that I made the right choice. And thanks to that lovely British weather, I get a great idea how its going to look in the spring in NY.

 

Hey. I just saw a pic of the headliner in the chocolate brown. Anyone out there have one and willing to show some anthracite / non-anthracite headliner pics of the interior?

 

Greetings:

My first post here. Another happy member of the "Hot Cocoa" club. We are currently awaiting a custom ordered HC/S Clubman S automatic with a target delivery date of mid to late February.

Merry Xmas to all!

 

I just posted on are you going to get one my order. I forgot to add white turn signals, anthro headliner, fog lights and 3M front protector.. I could go on and on, but I a only a neutral responder ad this point. Now I will be able to join the 2008 MINI tour

 

Interesting! The Hot Chocolate/Black combo was one of the two color combos I have been considering. (The other was Sparkling Silver/Black.) I am leaning more toward the Hot Chocolate/Black configuration, especially for those times when I am in stealth mode since the darker colors are less obvious when the light falls.

 

My Clubman is Hot Chocolate, both inside and outside.

Here is a picture:



It has all the factory options bar from CD-changer, chrome mirrors and panoramic roof. Yes, it even as a TV.

Wheels are R90 BBS-built Two-piece with black insert.
I ordered the ALTA antenna, which is the only mod I have done.

 

Niceee. We are a little jealous on this side of the pond because the Clubman was available over there for quite some time. Ours are being shipped as we speak. Welcome to the club. Grab a badge and relax.

 

Thanks!

Love this forum, very active and it has helped me alot already!

 

I'm in. Should I call it "Hershey" becaue when I will be in it, it will be chocolate with nuts! Of course it has a silver top.

 

While I am not a future HC Clubman owner (just bought my 07 MC one month ago) , I am definitely an admirer. I just returned from the Philly Auto Show, and I have to say that the Hot Chocolate Clubman looks really sharp. I wasn't too impressed with the Clubman in general when I first saw it, but it looks much better in person, especially the HC. Actually, I was pretty blown away by it!! It is a very unique color that definitely stood out among the other MINI's that they had. Those that ordered it will definitely not be disappointed! Great looking car.

I'm going to be returning to the show, in a couple of days - I'll try to take some pix.

 

Always good to hear nice things about our selection. Especially since a lot of us have still not seen one in person. I get my first live look at one this weekend at the Baltimore show.

Our HC Clubman left Southampton today. Can't wait.

I picked the wrong week to give up smoking!

 

We have named our HC/S Clubman "Mousse".

 

Hello!
Our Cooper Clubman should arrive mid or end of Feb. We went HC with a Silver Back and Sport package.
I saw one in person in Hong Kong awhile back and was very impressed. Can hardly wait!

 

Dropping by from the Oxygen Blue-side to say "Hooray for model-specific color schemes!!!" Makes for a more unique looking MINI that you can be proud of for a long, long time!!

 

Finally posted pictures of the Hot Chocolate Clubman from the Philly Auto Show - check out my gallery. Did the best I could - I'm definitely not a professional photographer. I believe the subject is what made the pix. Enjoy.

 

HEY!! Thanks for the welcome BTW! I am just wondering how I can join the Hot Chocolate Club and reserve a number if that is possible??? If that is possible, can I reserve #15 for "Toffee"?!?!

THANKS AGAIN!
