Thanks for posting, there's nothing like seeing a Clubman in the wild, Dumpnrun! Truck Bolts, I like that third one the best - nice lighting for the PW.

Great-looking blue, dumpnrun! Very bright.

Truck Bolts and Proximals PW remind me that my second choice color would have been extremely well-received...simply gorgeous. I've seen mention of Pure White..was that an option in 2008 (I may have missed it), or 2009? Do we call Pure White just W, and Pepper White PW?

If someone mentioned "Pure White" I believe it must have been a mistake or typo... Always been Pepper White, as far as I am aware. There's Pure Silver, though.

Ah..that's why I recall it throwing me for a loop..I sure didn't see it in my configurator. Doubt I can find where it was mentioned again, search here is less than stellar.

I think I may have noticed where you might have picked it up...

do you guys know that in most fo Europe (especially Eastern) a White colored car is considered a "Company" car or a doctors car ... not many people buy white in Europe and the reslae value on them is really poor.

I am talking more Pure White rather than the MINI Pepper White (which could be a actually a big reason that MINI does not come in Pure White)
Maybe?

I actually was searching for something else a few minutes ago and noticed his comment and thought maybe that's what made it stick in your mind.

Very well could be! My reading comprehension is questionable, but 'signal words' tend to get stuck in there everyonceinawhile...this looks like one of those times.

Stripes, bra and wheels...

Hey folks - new pics now that we're back from vacation. After sitting in the garage for a few weeks, she's finally got her stripes, clearbra and wheels added.

Look for the roof spoiler coming soon!

Here are the pics:




Now, let's play spot the Clubman

Meet Buckley

Hello, this is my first post and I thought I would try to post pics of my 08 Clubman Buckley. I recieved her on July 25 if memory serves me correct. Been smiling ever since. She is stock and only extra I have is the Comfort Bluetooth / Ipod hookup. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/...3fe145da_o.jpg

Buckley is very nice! That's the first really good shot I can remember of the 15" wheels. I like them!

I noticed the Moritz frame on the back of your car. What part of the Metromess (um...I mean Metroplex) are you in? I live WAY out in the boonies, but still try to participate in the Metroplex MINI club. If you love your MINI they're a great bunch of people to hang out with.

Staticroute - MY is such a great colour! My 4 year old really wanted me to get MY, but sadly it is not available on the S model...

Larry - Like I said in the CR thread, your car has been an inspiration - I just don't think I have the "chrome-delete" affliction yet

Happy Motoring all!

MY was my first choice, but I just couldn't convince my wife to go for it. I'm secretly adoring your car though. Congrats!

The day MY comes in an S, I will have one.

Don't even get me started on the absurdity of having two colors JustaClubman only. That is so stupid. You think it would be the opposite: two colors "S" only.

Silly and annoying as it is, actually, there are; Laser Blue and Dark Silver, "S" only.

I feel your pain Wampa, if MFR was on an S I think my wife would be quicker to buy one. She commented that some of the "cool" colors are non-S colors. I personally like OB. That's such a cool color but only on a Cooper!

I love it too! It's just so... happy!

Georgous Clubman! Love the way you did the stripes on the roof. Love the backdrop too. We were married in Banff and are longing to go back for a visit. I'm week 37 waiting for my PW Clubbie.

Thanks, I live NW of Fort Worth off of Business 287 near Saginaw. I do frequent MetroplexMini and have met a few of their members. They are really a great bunch.

Thanks Miki! I hope the rest of your wait goes by quickly and that you make it back to Banff soon!

Alberta and Texas are far away from each other, but in many respects not that different...
