Not to threadjack, but could you explain a little about the DV and what it improves? LOVE that interior.....

 

In short, if you got a Turbo, and you feel that Sport mode is the only way to drive a MINI because non Sport mode seems lethargic, this mod, makes the turbo more efficient such that for me, in non sport mode, it's so good, I don't instinctively feel that I need to hit that button every time. For others, it smooths out the power delivery between shifts, an improvement you can really feel and the mod is only $65.

That may be my first mechanical mod. Thanks for the link. Now back to the original programming.

 

So happy to see some new activity in here! Great lookin' Clubbies, everyone!

 

Here is my clubby with some new wheels

What kind of wheels are those? (Brand, name, size) Thanks!

 

They are gloss black R112 17" like on the Wc50 but they are replicas

very nice quality though

I have not put centercaps on yet (not sure if I want to or not)

 

thought I'd post some pics....

 

lookin great gang!
I have a bunch of new pics but I'm on jury duty so I'll post when I can...

 

Nice clubman If you ever find yourself wanting to upgrade to the aero kit or just sell that rear bumper, let me know

 

Beautiful car, great photos! Congrats! The new 2011 styling changes look nice!

 

thanks guys

enjoying it very much - definitely some improvements and refinements from our previous '04 mcs. love the clubman looks and already used the function a few times!

 

I'm stunned at how quickly ive gone from a Clubman hater to lover. Hated them in 08, when driving a coupe. Then a baby and baby stuff and an Element later, suddenly the Clubman doesn't seem so long and awkward... and we order one... and after a few weeks of driving, I can't imagine going back to the shorties... LOVE it.

 

Hi OldLoad, like Mark above has posted they generally get into the 70s. At the moment I am in the 60s. I used to have a Cooper D hatch before that and the best I ever got was 82 mpg (though that was driving like miss daisy, just having a leisurely drive...) but if you drive it like your rear is on fire then I will probably still be mid 50s to early 60s.

 

Hello everyone, just picked up my Clubman this past Wed. Been lurking around and this seems like a great forum.

 

Nice! Is that Eclipse Grey?

 

Thanks! Yup that is the Eclipse Grey, love that color ^_^.

 

That's the exact shade I wanted. I'm happy with PS but kinda regret not waiting another year or two to see what new colors would be available. On the other hand, I might have missed out on a color that would be discontinued so it was a hit/miss choice for me.

 

We bought this MINI in August 2009. My son was 2.5 year old, and my daughter was 3 months.





A year later, added stripes, driving lights, and chrome scoop



Added side panel graphics



Added roof graphics "black hole"





Last week, I got my vanity plate (and then two parking tickets)




What next? I need something on the side, and something on the back.

 

some fantastic looking Clubbies in here

here's a couple of the latest pics of mine, on my run last weekend

 

Here's my 2009 R55 JCW - bought it about a month ago.
Finally got some photos that looked ok - can never seem to get a good day when I have my good camera - so I used the best camera I had with me - my iPhone!

 

Very pretty car!

Dave

 

Figured it's about time I post some pics of my Clubbie! I have a 2009 factory JCW, and recently added on some custom graphics, and Focal F05 wheels.

Here's Rocket shortly after coming home in 2009


And here she is now!

 

These new pics are all awesome! I looooove the before and after stuff!

Also, jorielle, did you try and join my TRDL R3 forum recently?

 

True, the Imperial Gallon is 5 quarts, not 4, so 80% (ish) of 75-80 mpg is still somewhere about 60 mpg if I have my maths right. Be nice if they start offering it here...
