well, guess i'd better register to become a Hot Choclate
Mini Owner. Ordered an S last week and now the wait
begins. It's going to be interesting to see if they let me
run it at the track because they won't let station wagons,
Suv's or pickup trucks race at our track. I'm going to claim
it's just a long MiniCooper S. My 05 MCS doesn't have LSD
and the Clubman S does. I'll keep you posted as to how
the track reacts to the Clubman. I think the length will help in the corners but we'll have to find out.

Scooter is gorgeous! The seats look similar to the Sidewalk's "English Malt Brown" leather. Chocolate malt perhaps?

I guess we should become members now that we picked ours up first thing this morning. We have enjoyed doing errands today. Took it on some back roads today too. We put some pictures in our gallery. We will put the rest in the gallery when we resize them.

TAZ is in the House!

It's official . . . . . It's a boy!!!

I brought home my little clubbie on Friday. I am now an official H/C owner.

I am so excited. The 100+ mile drive home was AWESOME!! I am definitely going to AMVIV next year. I hope to see more Clubbies there?

Thanks for updating the list! I feel pretty official (now if the ship would just get here with my MINI).

It's here but I can't drive it

My first ever post so bear with me.

Went to the dealer this weekend to check out the Clubman in person since I ordered it but never physically saw it...to my surprise, my Choco/Black Clubman was sitting on the lot. So a few minor checks and registering and I'll be picking up my own Hot Choco this weekend.

So I guess I can be added to the club in a couple o days!

Me too!

Guess I should get myself on the list! Just ordered tonight: Hot Chocolate S, HC roof, black D pillars.

Can't wait, it's been a long time since I was this excited about a new car...
