Lotsie, I took some images like that at the Clubman Launch party at Sandia Mini in Albuquerque last Friday. Right now, they are only posted in the Mini Usa OL. Hopefully, I will get mine later this week and post images if that.

 

Here is a photo of the PWhite D that I drive..... has over 5000 miles on the clock now...

 

I don't know how to do it but you're very welcome to add my set to the Group if you want.

 

Picked my Clubman up today. Its on jack stands waiting to paint the brake caliber's and install new wheels/tires. Picture's very soon.

 

Here's some pictures of ours that we took today at the beach...

Ooooh!! I like this shot!! Beautiful cars Donna and Mike!

 

Thanks Kurt - I'm thinking I want it as my siggy too.

Hi Mark,

Some of the shots you suggested are impossible with an amateur camera but there are some new ones in my set that may help.

 

 

Ok here are some pictures.

Really nice shots of your Clubmans. Looks like it will be Thursday now.

 

Yay, FT! you'll love it! (I do!)

 

Donna and Mike... I love the pictures of your Clubman and Morris Minor!!! They look great together and the Clubman is really intriguing me!

And I miss California so much! I recently moved back to NY, but I don't think I'm going to last long... the winters look much better in California. If I get back that way sometime in the next few years, I'd love to see the Morris Minor in person.

Congrats on the new MINI!!!

 

Still waiting for my Clubman to show up at the dealer's door. Pictures to come soon (promise).

 

Thanks so much!!

I know what you mean about those East Coast winters...burrr....we spent many a year in Virginia and the last winter we were there - 2003 - did us in - LOL! 2 1/2 feet of snow over 3 days - ugggg....I still have nightmares about all the shoveling - hehehehehehe.

We'd love to have you visit if/when you get out this way. I'll take ya for a spin in the Morris! I have to admit, it gets WAY more attention than the MINI ever did. I have people stop me all the time to chat, or I find business cards on the windscreen when I come out of a store. It's fun for sure - not fast - but hey - it's still British

Donna, is the Traveller larger than the MINI Clubman? In the photo from the rear it looks much larger. Are these the first pics of your new Clubman? It's beautiful. How about giving us a capsule review of the Clubman vs. a MCS, since you've driven both.

 

Those were the first pictures we took. More to come as we do some very subtle mods (bike rack, tinting, driving lights).

The Traveller may appear larger but it isn't, except for the height. According to the spec. sheet we have, it is 149" long and the Clubman is 155.8". The Traveller is 60" wide and the Clubman is 66.3". The height on the Traveller is 60" and the Clubman is 56.4" - so there ya have it... The rear doors on the Traveller are bigger and bigger glass.

My unofficial non technical review of comparing the MCS to the Clubman is: it drives very smooth. The shifting is very smooth. It doesn't feel like you are driving something longer than the MCS. I feel that all of the pictures of the Clubman are very deceiving. The lines of the car are much nicer when you see them in person.

I know some folks have complained about the rear pillar where the doors meet - having issues "seeing" out the back. For me that was a non issue. However, I'm used to it, having the same set up in my Traveller. But, I can understand where it would take a bit of getting used to for peeps, as the rear window in the Clubman is noticeably smaller than the MCS. But that all goes away within about 15 minutes - LOL!!!

800 miles to go before the "break-in" period is over...

Good to read. I'll stop thinking of you as a "hater"

 

I looked at your pics, very nice. What is the silver rod that sticks up forward of the stick shift?

 

Nothing clever I'm afraid - just a rechargeable flashlight I keep in the cigarette lighter socket!

 

I was never a "hater"... that's such a bad word. No, I was a "disliker".

Donna, thanks much. It must be the height that makes it look larger in your photo. I've heard that the longer wheelbase attributes to the smoother ride.
Sounds like you've moved over to the Clubman side .

 

Okay... that's fair.

 

Here she is. Enjoy!
