What I didn't say was that @4:22 A.M. E.S.T. my HC started production. How long will it take until delivery on the East Coast?

Also I can't recall where I saw the HC/Silver badge address. Help please.

Thanks

Just placed an order on a HC Clubman with lounge leather this afternoon! Not sure when we will get it, but hoping for 6-8 weeks.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! Your MA should at least be able to tell you what week you're scheduled for.

Hi there few more piccys for you guys and gals awaiting delivery, not very arty but they do show the colour in different lights! One pic shows the new JCW black grill I have just fitted, and another a reg plate I was thinking of getting until I realised it was £1000 or $2000 YIKES

Enjoy the pics.

John

I checked with 866-ask-mini and was told my HC Clubman will be done on March 2nd. Order was placed on Feb 20. Next I will be waiting for it to get across the pond.

Did my test drive today and put the finishing touches on the purchase. All that is left to contact my insurance and pick up on Friday.

Now, I am not a "driver" kind of guy. But, this car is amazing. Its exciting. You know where the car is in every way when you are behind the wheel. The back seat is comfortable, the trunk (boot, I know...sorry) is ample enough, though I was hoping somehow to be bigger. But, that hidden compartment is nice. I was able to play around with the gadgets and options that abound in the cabin and get a decent idea of how things work, though I hope there will be a tutorial.

Ladies and gentlemen, all I can say is that we have a winner here. I cannot wait to hear how everyone else fares with theirs.

Adam

Agemusic, I thought there would be more room in the boot also. It has good space for its size but I will have to get my family to pack lighter for our trips.
