Very nice, Coopdy! I like the options you chose!
Who was your salesperson? I will be in the next group of people placing their orders with that dealership. (Dang the waiting list!! Grr.)
How well did the dealership handle the signing and pickup, etc?

For those of you guys who like the JCW chrome scuttles, I might be getting rid of mine next month when my JCW Clubman arrives. I don't really like them, but haven't decided yet what to get it in their place or have them custom painted or something.

Again thank you everyone for all the great comments and also for all the support along the way -- my husband thanks you as well . He was sure that Dr. Phil was on the other end of the MINIUSA tracking hotline.

Can't get enough time in my MINI! I almost took her out last night to make up for the crappy commute home she had to endure yesterday. She does not like having to go so slow in 1st.

Just fitted the side skirts off the factory fitted aero kit. Really pleased with the look!

Now that really does look good, Beastmaster - love that with the classic Mini emblem, too! I don't think there's anything else you can do to this Clubman, is there?

P.S. Glad you added the Pepper Beast's latest to the Flickr Clubman pool, too. http://www.vimeo.com/2264581

Thank you Sir, well to be honest I saw some carbonfibre and red kevlar sidescuttles on this site and I am waiting to add those - but I'm hoping a JCW Stage 1 kit comes out for the Clubbie!

Or "Madam" in this case, but you're more than welcome. You've done a great job.
