We saw one and ordered one. When our new baby comes we'll have a 2008 BRG MCSC, a '64 B/W Austin Cooper and a 2008 HC/Black Clubman!

Another new Hot Chocolate

I'm new to the club and new to posting. But I picked up my HC Clubman S a few weeks ago and now my wife wants her own! Pictures to follow as soon as I can figure out how to post one.

Leather Hot Chocolate, Convenience Package, Sport Package, LS, Foglights

MINIPAT

It sounds familiar. I ordered my HC Clubman S in October. It finally reached port on Sunday. A week ago we went to a dealer party for the Clubman. I took my wife who has hazed me for months. I figured she would be out of there in 1/2 hour. 2 1/2 hours later, I had to drag her out of there. Bottom line, she bought a MCS the next day and took delivery last Saturday. YOU ARE DOOMED and this website will give you no symppathy or show you any mercy! GOOD LUCK!

Welcome. That seems to happen a lot around here. Rumor has it that some investigators from the Center for Disease Control have been sniffing around NAM trying to determine the cause of this rampant disease.

Thank you Jeff. There are worse ways to be doomed.

My wife really doesn't want to give up our Pepper White, but I've managed to convince her that we don't need two cars. It took a lot of work, but she finally came around. I think the promise of multiple exotic vacations helped out a bit.

Okay, can I be in the club before it arrives and I actually (as opposed to just emotionally) own it?

To those of you who chose the black roof with the HC Clubman...

That's a great combo and given how popular HC seems be be, sets yours apart a bit from the majority of the crowd. Nicely done.

Its Here!

Well, the dealer MA called a few minutes ago and said that our car arrived today this afternoon by truck. We will pick up next Saturday morning first thing. It is going to a long long week to wait. We still have to take care of the sale of my other car on Monday afternoon. My husband and I are going to stop by the dealer on our way out tonight for the evening. I want to see the car in person, if possible. I can not wait until next week to see it.

Saw our HC Clubman S yesterday in that the order of 10/17/07 has arrived. I will probably pay for it next week after they have added the stripes, driving light and changed the wheels and unless I can sell my present car sooner wait another week to take it. Then I will have at least a 3 day wait to get the clear plastic front put on and then get the windows tinted. I delieted the JCW brace at this time. I will probablly wait for an additional month before I start adding things such as exhaust and ecu, until after I have driven it for a while and know what it can do. It is not that I don't want to drive it, but my wife picked up her MCS last weekend so I know how many SMILES TO THE MILES we are getting. My wife was like a little kId whEn she came out this afternoon and saw that I had changed her stock skuttles for the checkered flag skuttles. What else can I do for her to make her smile (besides getting her the Borla exhaust that she wants!)
