Awesome.

WOO HOO!! Hey Chad! Congrats!

You just did. Welcome!

 

Ok, snapped a picture before work this morning. Not great, but at least it's photographic evidence.

 

Sa-weet!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Update - welcome motrix and ChadC.

 

I'm ready to join too! I got Willie on March 9, 2009!

 

Congrats, and welcome!







Umm...yer picture link no workey.

 

Hey there ChadC,
Nice looking MINI! I especially appreciate the chrome accents against the hot chocolate color, something I've recently moved to. (Wish I had a hood scoop to work with!) In my gallery you can find a before & after look with black accents giving way to chrome (and amber giving up to white).Of course, I'm starting with black where you have silver, on roof and pillars. Yours is a great model for the HC & chrome look. I'd love to see some shots of the interior. How about a gallery with some good sized images???

 

Sorry about that.

 

Greetings all.

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone in the Hot Chocolate Owners Forum for having me.
However, I no longer have my 2008 Hot Chocolate Justa Clubman.
Roo was very good to me. I owned him for 5 months and put on over 14000+ fun miles and smiling the whole time.
Came across a deal I couldn't refuse...
Traded for a 2008 Dark Silver Metallic Clubman S. With almost no miles on it. Now my cheeks hurt from smiling!

Thanks again!

See you in the other NAM forums...

(You can remove #72 GIBSAILS from the list of owners now...)

 

now this is some hot chocolate:

had no idea Ferrari ever came in this color.

 

Oh My. That is stunning.

 

Heyyyyyy that looks like my Lady G.

Well, sorta.

I mean not really.

But kinda.

 

Yeah, but I have to clean it first! Can't believe how much mud the tires kick up, and I'm covered in pollen and little seeds. And the brake dust! That's a losing battle, does everyone clean their wheels every week, or do you just let it get all two tone on it's own?

Wish I could take credit for selecting the styling, but I bought it used. It's pretty close to what I would have built for myself, if I had an extra $8,000 to spend on a car. There's no way I would have bought those wheels, the navigation, the sports pack, headliner, hood scoop, 6-disk (really? Who buys a CD changer?) etc because of cost. But hey, I'm glad I found the deal I did.

It's the standard HC/Oak/Beige interior commonly found on HC's, but with the headliner and navi which isn't as common. Maybe I'll borrow the 10mm lens from work and have a go at snapping so pictures.

Maybe I'll also show how nicely a car seat fits, which is something I would have liked to know when I was still shopping for a compact car.

So tommorrow my Clubby turns one!!! I can't believe it.

 

How's it holding up? What's the mileage? Any problems in the first year?

Thanks,
Markfm

 

hey, mine also! congrats!

 

We're at 16K miles and everything is great. The only thing it needed were front struts (I believe) and a new wheel because of pot holes, but this happened with my '06 MINI as well. But everything is holding very well. Did the first official mod on Monday- the m7 ultimate upper grille.

 

well, my car is due in port H. southern CA on Monday. can't wait to officially join the club. just needs to be trucked up to Nor CA and have the dealership get her ready. pics to follow

 

I bought my hot chocolate clubman back in February, 2008. it was the showroom car and I made the dealership take it out and prep it. In fact they had to stay late to close the deal. I have 28,900 miles and I have loved it since the first drive. I am a BMW master technician and this car is like an adult version of a gokart. I drive it 80 miles a day and average about 37 mpg. I have raced Mazda 2.3's and other cars and can beat them in traffic. The only regets is that I did not buy the S but I like the softer suspension for the long haul. I still am running the same tires and have only had the normal service interval with no problems yet(knock on wood). I just love it and also I want to become a member of this club if possible.

Good motoring,
Jeff
