haha yeah they're dodge challengers, the black one's mine and the orange one's my dad's. My mom's got the 350z in the other garage. The MINI's the family car, but take my word for it, it's just as fun!

tata - i originally had the magnetic stone guards but took them off because i was worried about discoloration on the paint. im still nto sure if it is really an issue or not. also, did they give you a little exta piece for the clubdoor ? my clubdoor side magnet had the tip cut off due to the clubdoor gap.

I'm not sure about a precedent for this, but my Cocoa Cooper turned two today. I remember bringing it back from Detroit and driving into snow back in '08. I hadn't figured out the defrost and wipers when hail and snow came at us. It's 230 miles from the dealer, or was then before we got #2 dealership in the state with Mini of Grand Rapids. Both seem like really good dealerships, and Grand Rapids lately.
Still love the car. I may keep it for 20 years, as I can't see affording another and I don't want to leave the brand. It's my retirement car.
Check out the gallery, with some recent shots, at https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...0&ppuser=49269
Happy Birthday Cocoa!

I don't know...
Those are coming off for spring.
I had them on my PS R50, so no extra parts for R55...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say good bye to the club... even though it's been a while since I've posted here. I just sold my MINI to a lady from NH. Take care!

Wow. I hadn't been on here in a while. Seeing pics of clean Clubmans makes me feel guilty. Guess that's my project for tomorrow.

New Hot Chocolate Clubman

Traded in my 02 BRG cooper on a Hot Chocolate Clubman S.

Had it since April, just now getting around to taking some pictures and posting.

Had cooper flags make some custom stripes, I think they came out awesome.

Hot Chocolate Clubman

We all seem to agree that the Hot Chocolate is the best looking color.
I must say that I have to agree.
Thank you for the Badges, they look really cool.
People are always stopping in parkng lots and asking me about the Clubman and its really good looking color, they also say that the inside is a nice touch.
Alot of people like the color from a distance, and then really like the Clubman up close. What can I say they rock!!

Rally@StanceDesign: That is Bad A**!

Oh! Hi, everybody! I'm sitting at the dealer getting my second (and last, given miles) "free service." So, it occurs to me that mine was on the boat this time two years ago. Only regret I've got is that the deals are pretty sweet right now compared to what we paid in '08.
