I found these while browsing flickr and thought I should share.

The flickr member's photos of one that he got to drive are at the bottom of page one and continue onto page two.

Thanks for the pics, those are very nice. Love the shot from above. The chances of me seeing one while I am assigned on Guam for the next 17 months are slim to none.

Very nice, the Clubman is definitely growing on me too. I can see some day getting rid of my Jeep Liberty and upgrading my Mini to the Clubman.

good pics, thanks for sharing. the only thing i'm not liking are the rear windshield wipers...if my family ever gets bigger (hopefully) and we move up to the clubman, a rear wiper delete would be the first mod.

looking forward to seeing them on the streets!

Looks nice!!! I actually think about other stuff I could carry if I got a Clubman, but w/the kids grown and me beaten into submission to the MINI coupe minimization ethic, I'll just have to wave at the rest of you lucky owners.

Interesting seeing the rear-wipers both in action and at rest.

Yes I'm with you on the wiper not looking so hot. but if you drive in the real world of slop, slush & rain how will you get along without them?? There are times I have so much carp on my rear window that without a wiper back there I'd have zero rear vision.

wow - you get carp on your windshield? Guess that's just the price one pays for motoring through a lily pond. Although I am curious about how many knots you get off-landing.

(sorry, I'm sleep deprived and just couldn't contain my delight at that awesome typo).

Then we could really give the Triumph 1200 a run for its money...

(ok ok, i'll stop now and get some zzz's)

oooh, NICE!! I bet we could gather up a bunch of your roadkill carp and use them to clog up that fine, fine swear filter. At the very least, we'd have us some yummy goldfish pate to store in our clubman refrigerated picnic bag...
