We are now a two MINI and four Greyhound family.

Here's our crew - Franklin, Sparkle Jean, Lucky, Paddie:

Who needs MINIs Roadside Assistance when these guys are onboard - just hook up a harness and have them tow you home!

Thank you. I love the wheels too---they may be too "simple" for some of the die-hards out there, but they are great to clean!

Nice shot! I've ordered the same color combo, Lightning Blue/Silver. I wasn't sure about the silver mirror caps versus the chrome (mirrored) caps, but they sure look good in your shot! Alas, mine won't be an "S", so my stock 15" wheels won't fill out the fenders as nicely. Are those the 17" wheels?

Yours is identical to mine (Exterior wise) with the exception of the silver stripes.

I really like the Bridgespokes

, I think that the silver caps fit in much better overall. And, yes...those are 17" wheels. I had the same size on my R56 and loved it....seemed natural to go with what worked before!

Love the pics of your Dizzy (greyt name, BTW). One good thing about the Clubman is it is large enough to secure a dog crate in it - something I couldn't do (for a large crate) in my '04 MC.

Hmm, we may have to start a Clubman/Greyhound Owner Club!

I like the sidevents and hoodscoop! Very sporty!

Will you put the JCW brake kit on it? Stops better and has a great look

A stock Cooper S has the same brakes as the R53 GP, so you won't really feel a difference but hey.. who cares when it looks great
