Thanks for letting me hang with you Clubman owners -- even if it was only temporary. Maybe my next MINI will be a Clubman.

Thanks Joe! I know it's not as colorful as some of the paint colors available, but I have to admit that I feel like the sun is shining inside my Mini even when it's overcast..not many color/interior combo's can accomplish that! Your wife had chosen wisely...twice!

Yep, me too! It was actually my "other top choice" for the exterior combo. and the only reason we didn't order it is because I couldn't get the "English Malt" leather (sort of a saddle tan) exclusive to the Cabrio to go with it. Congrats, it's every bit as sharp as I'd imagined!

Thanks... I think. I'm just trying to figure out what the second thing she chose. The clubman in ss/s but what could the second thing be... Well I'll think about it and hopefully it'll come to me.

As for the color combo, I saw one around town and it was so nice. Love it.

Yeppers! So long as I keep forgetting 'Fine Corinthian Leather' every time I get in it! :P Seriously, from the Mini's I've peered inside since Pelle arrived, the leather really sets off the interior..this is one of those cars that was made for leather, plain and simple. I've seen cars where the leather just looked plain wrong, or an afterthought. NOT the Mini! I got the standard seats, and I'm VERY impressed with their comfort and performance...so that was a senseless worry (sports seats) while I waited for Pelle.

Very well. I've heard about a lot of bad experiences with Irvine, but I couldn't be happier with their service and would recommend them. They had a launch party for the JCW last Saturday. Good food, free stuff, excellent prizes (they were giving away CF hood scoops, strut braces, and the like), and they were supportive of SCMM. And of course I got to drive the JCW.

Congrats on your new PW/BLK Clubman. There's something I've always liked about Pepper White.

Your attachments worked just fine. You have a beautiful Pepper White Clubby.
What side scuttles are those? I'd love to see them up close.

Sweet! Thank you for posting the pics. Mine will be sparkling silver with the same wheels. I'm so glad I got the 5-spokes. They look so good on the car.

Does anyone have pics of a clubman with the factory aero kit? I'd really like to see a real photo of what the side skirts look like on that kit.

Just picked "Wheeler" up yesterday and we're stoked! Had a drive through the twisties today and had a blast. Can't wait till it's broken in so we can really have some fun. Here's a few pics I took today.
