R55 Official Hot Chocolate Owners Club
Okay, view at your own risk...
My version of the "motoring grin..."

Got it home, and got it cleaned up; kind of a low angle front view:

There are some others in my NAM gallery; let me know what you think!
I'm considering some 16" wheels, if I can find a set from someone who goes up to 17s. I'm also going to get the windows tinted, hopefully this week. If I do, I'll post those up too.

So can I join the HC club? Please I just picked mine up last night and had to do the
dance.
I was out at 5:45AM taking my 4 year old son for a drive around the block before I had to leave for work. My son just COULD NOT wait to get into the car. I seemed more excited than me. He woke up at 5:20 didn't come into our room but rather went into the garage to take a look at our new baby

Looks good Hoonu,
hey is your roof silver or white? I wanted white but do not think that was an option with the HC color. I ordered HC/HC. Got my production number from my MA it says Sept 14th. Does this mean when I can expect it to arrive or when they will start to build it?

LadyG: I'm near Shelby. Fair chance you came close on the way home from Hendrick.
Little Bean: It's silver. As one of the other posters mentioned, I wanted lighter color to keep the interior temp down as far as I could. Of course, it's 98 degrees outside right now...

I haven't seen a Clubbie out in the wild yet!
Picked Him Up Last Night
After months of waiting, Wilbur Bud is in my possession. I got to the dealer around 4:30pm, and through a series of mishaps, I was not on the road until 7:30! This was with me not trading a car in or financing through Mini Financial. The dealer was short staffed, so my MA had to run all over the place, and, to make matters worse, one of the keys that we thought was mine, was actually to a Chili Red Clubman that was being test driven. Luckily they were not in the street when the engine stopped. My MA had to run out and get the key to them. I guess that is one of the pitfalls of the Convenience Package.
I took the long way home, and I am extremely happy with my car. Pictures to follow.
