I see the Mini Clubman is on the showroom floor in North Caroline and Atlanta.

Does anyone know if the New York Metro area Mini dealers have any on the floor for a peek?

Well, we have them, not on the showroom floor as of yet. We are putting wheels and lowering springs on the first one (lightning blue/silver S). We are having a grand showing on this Saturday, with a preview for a Local Mini Club we sponsor on friday, the day before.

They are better than i imagined, and thats all i can say.

We are still awaiting the arrival of our Clubman. I do have one client whose Clubman should be here before the spec'd ones arrive. Wouldn't it be nice to be driving the ONLY Clubman in the area, even if for only a few days?

I just checked in the OL and it says mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow at the dealership. I find that hard to believe since I told the dealer I did not want to pick it up until March. Man, I am waiting for THAT call though.

We have about 8 or so now, ranging for pre-orders to mostly "Launch" cars.

Still gotta wait till the 16th to actually pick them up though. Wish we could start passing them out, but must wait for the official Launch day to be able to actually sell them.

You can't sell them but do you let the folks sit in them?

Mine is on the boat right now.... Should be docking in Charleston on the 11th, hopefully 2-3 days at the VPC and then onto its final voyage to South Florida. Have you guys seen Hot Chocolate in the flesh? Do you like it?

Depends on the dealership. We are having a private screening for a local car club we sponsor tomorow. Then Saturday we are have a grand showing so everyone can see, sit, and DRIVE the clubman as well.

Just check with your local dealership to see what they are willing to do.

Also, I've seen it, I like it, and with the Hot chocolate interior, its awsome.

Mettalic brown is hard to describe but its a lot better that i thought i could be. I can't wait to see the Hot chocolate interior with Pepper white. That will look good.

No Mini Clubman until the official launch date until 2/16. They might not get any in until 2/18 in NYC.
