I usually only update the list every couple of weeks, but since you are so anxious, I have updated it again this morning. Welcome to our semi-exclusive, fast growing club.

 

Thanks Cap'n. I look forward to posting more soon. Any H/C Clubbies in SoCal?

 

Count us in, this is our second mini (see below). It's a launch edition with a few extras (I'll update our info. on the bottom to reflect the changes). We've had it for a week and it's just perfect for us (two growing kids, and a Chocolate fixation in more ways than one. Kosmo is his name). Since it's actually my wife's, the club listing should be MAD MINI 2 -Julie B. For those of you that are waiting, feel free to ask any questions. We ordered #1 and had to endure the 6-8 weeks. Time goes real slow!

 

Looks GREAT.... did you order the stripes or did your dealer install?
Enjoy your car..

 

Looks very nice! We also took ours home about a week ago. My wife is the primary driver (I get to drive it mostly on weekends) and it will too be the family truckster (We have a 16 month old toddler that has ridden in MINIs since coming home from the hospital). So far we are very happy with it!

 

How much did the stripes cost? I'm planning on getting them, and I was told $300 installed.

 

Loyal and repeat customers are important to any MA worth his or her salt. Keep the faith, you've registered your displeasure and you're not going to cast aside this baby for a $250 mistake BUT they should make it up to you - and I bet they will. Fingers crossed!

 

That is too much money for stripes! Get a reputable independent installer that can do this kind of work for a reasonable amount of money. My 26% tints and full front clearbra came out at $600 including labor and lifetime warranty. It pays to shop around!

 

Yes, $300 installed, but since the clearbra/invisi-shield was already installed by another dealer, it was free to us. Yes, after much debate the dealer recommended installing the stripes over the clearbra. Turned out nice!

 

A good MA has to build up a network of loyal/repeat customers. It is the only way to be successful and survive long term in the car sales profession.

Car sales people that merely rely on "walk-ins" are the ones that sooner or later find themselves out of the job and repeat business.

 

I take delivery of a Chocolate Clubman tonight! Premium, Launch cold weather, Sport, Convienece, Chocolate full leather with cream accents, Chrome interior and exterior package, Silver top and back, 6-speed. Very excited!

I wanted the S, but it just wasn't to be. I can live with it, and it's so pretty!

Pictures soon... I'm a photographer and am looking to get into car photography, so what a perfect subject!

 

Enjoy!

 

Bought a "Mini for a Weekend" package at a silent auction last summer and was hooked, but it did not have enough room for my three dogs + other stuff I need to haul around.

Fast forward to seeing the Clubman on the Mini web site last month!! Woo Hoo! I am unloading my gas guzzling Lexus SUV for it.

At first decided on PW, but was conflicted until I changed order to HC with silver trim!

The car will also have leather lounge HC, cold weather, premium, sport.

Can't wait! Need vibes to get a good price selling other car. It only has 7500 miles. Yes, I am crazy!

 

Welcome to the club Gus!

 

Congrats Alex and Gus!

Gus, you car sounds very much like what I ordered. Alex, a launch car at the dealer is what hooked me on the HC and HC lfull leather interior. That launch car has most of the bells and whistles on it.

Okay fellow clubmembers, I just found out that Hot Chocolate goodies are now available at http://www.cafepress.com/minibee/4977126.

We are ordering our stuff now so we can show off when we get to The Dragon.

 

Well, it is done. I am a full fledge member of the HC club.

 

So, that means you've got your new Clubman?

 

Yeah, I love it. It was a dealer launch car, right off of the showroom floor.

 

Congratulations!! Now you need to join your local MINI club - Metroplex MINI. We're having an Easter Egg hunt this coming Saturday. Come join us if you can. I'll try not to drool too much on your Clubman.

We were both at the dealer this afternoon looking at two other cars that my husband is interested in. A 2005 Dark silver M3 and a brand new Astro black Mini cooper S and ran into our salesman. He said that our Clubman is almost here. Found out today at the dealer that it will be unloaded off the ship this weekend in Charleston. It should be at the dealer by Monday, March 24th. Now, if we could just sell my car by then, and everything would be great. We also saw two Hot Chocolates Clubmans at the dealer today. One was a "S" with everything, even ground effects. Very nice. It was sold yesterday.

 

Nice! We are loving this car....17 days and 440 miles since delivery!

Cool!

 

My Clubman is at the dock in Charleston, S.C. today as of 2:45 PM. Now let's see how long it take to get to my dealer. So far I can not complain since it was only ordered 4 weeks and 2 days ago. Maybe I have a chance to set the record from order to received!
