Just got word that I'm on the Aegean Highway scheduled to dock in Brunswick, GA on May 22. I think that calls for a big WOO followed by a big HOO!

Switched out the JCW R105's and went w/ Ti Model RE 18"x8" w/ 40mm offset. I had to remove my front spacers, but they definitely give me a nice, wider stance!

My good friend Mark (OrangeCrush) is telling me I now need to go with an orange roof, but I think I;m going to have to let this sink in for awhile before I consider that.

Definitely won't lose it in a parking lot now.

Thanks for the official membership number!

Greg Davis, I really like the orange. It really reaches out and grabs you!

lonestarbuzz, enjoy your Metroplex motoring! In the last couple of weeks I've found that the Mini is just the right size for getting by on the shoulder when traffic is backed up on 635. Or 121. Or 114.

Thanks for all of the positive comments. Wasn't sure at first, but the more time I spend with it, the more I like it.

Greg, do the orange roof! With all the orange accents, I think maybe the beltline would look sweet in chocolate or black.

+1 for the orange roof idea. maybe a wrap so you don't have to fully commit to it?

Yeah, I told him that if I DID do it, it would be a wrap. Not sure how many people would be interested in a car w/ an orange roof when the day comes to get rid of it.

I'm just afraid that with the high sides of the Clubbie roof, it would look too overdone(?). I'm just going to let things settle down for awhile.

I'm trying to get my Land Rover project done and this car has been a HUGE distraction for me.

Add me to the list. I picked mine up last Thursday night (6\2) and since then I have blacked out the grill and had the windows tinted.

I'll post pictures later.

I love driving a "station wagon"

How about a Lincoln Continental painted MINI Cooper Hot Chocolate Brown (with a MINI Pepper White roof)?

Not the best photo, but been having too much fun to take pictures. Here's my 2011 MLC MCsC (Mid-Life Crisis Mini Cooper S Clubman)... ordered on 04-18; picked up on 05-27.

Jeezums. I somehow keep getting bumped from this thread!

Spent the afternoon on some serious cosmetic communing with the Clubman. Banished SWMBO's Fiesta from the garage (for a day) so I can drive it at least once without a full coating of dew and crap.

Welcome to the recent members!

Greg, FWIW, I'd leave the roof black. Orange would be bold, but I think it would take away from the impact of the wheels and other accents. Maybe you could get someone on here to photoshop in an orange roof for you to look at to help decide.

Hi everyone! I'd like to be part of the HC owners club; picked up an '011 HC Cooper Hardtop 3 weeks ago! I'd like to upload photos but can't seem to do so from my phone (I don't have a computer at the moment). Any tips?

If you have an Android phone you can upload pictures to Picasa (download Picasa Tool app for free). Once pics are saved in album in Picasa you select picture and hit "more options" button at bottom of screen, then select "copy web link". Paste the web link into box under "insert image" when you reply to a thread. Good luck and welcome to the club.

Howdy, would love to add my new Hot Chocolate Clubbie to the club. Love the colour, and was pretty cool today when another Hot Chocolate Clubbie passed me and gave a honk on the horn!
