Your opinion on the armrest? i'm assuming that this is the armrest that came from the factory, right? .... do you use it? do you think you'd miss it if you didn't have it??......

hate to hijack the thread, just curious.... I didn't order it on mine and I have till Thursday (order accepted at factory) to fully finalize..... just wondering out loud if I want it...... mostly commute driving in my case....
Thanks about my Lady G. I sure do love her!

Yep, it's the factory armrest. I am constantly resting my arm on the there, and can't imagine not having it. As far as "storage" it's pretty useless, except for a tin of Altoids and some gum~ they fit nicely!

Ok, so no Clubman yet(3rd week of Oct :( )-how about the little devil that will inevitably dirty my future Clubman?

When she was 8 weeks old-oh the memories


She has definitely grown!




Everybody watch kungfu fighting?!

Lady G,

Your Clubman is beautiful... makes my decision about whether I should get an MCS or a Clubman S that much harder.

Finally! Pics of our new addition. We were originally thinking we would have a boy clubby, but after a few days, it's definitely a girl. We've named her ZAZU after one of our favorite SNL characters. Not to mention, the constant number of guys that tell me they can't stop staring at her.

Here are a couple, a few more posted in the clubman flickr pool.

Thanks! The wheels are Focal F5's. They are an old design, probably been around for at least 6+ years now. We had them on our 06 MCS and didn't want to buy new wheels right away.

They're not meant for speed, but they look really nice when cruising down the road.

Thanks Lady G! It was a hard decision over the DS and HC colors. Everytime I see new pics of Lady G, I rethink our decision.

That's a great question! I guess, for me, it's the way the car feels once you drive it. Kinda like purchasing a guitar. You get the one that feels right and "grooves" with you.

I think it depends on the influence one can have on their spouse, I have been pushing for a manly clubbie wiht racing strips and blk wheels. But for my spouse the clubman is sassy and hot.
