Welcome to our world!

Attached are some pics along with by other British ride. (it's a TR8 w/ a factory aluminum V-8)

Any Clubman owners out there have the OEM luggage rack? any photos of the other carriers that go on it?

Lovely Snotqt & LOVE the name! I have the roof racks on my 09 clubbie. There's a pix in my gallery of them. I wanted the luggage rack, but I have the spoiler & they don't work together. I'm eventually getting a few carriers, such as a bike carrier, a kayak carrier and a hard luggage carrier...
Congrats.
Oh, and I'm in Middle TN and have been up your way... I live in an area that is rural too and has funny names!

ewik, thanks for posting those photos - haven't seen a MY Clubman around these parts for too long. I bet your Sprite is happy to have a new striped mate!

Thanx TNMiniMama! Nobody gets the name, it's actually my liscense plate now. When I was looking at the Mini last spring, my wife and daughter would say "those are cute cars", then I'd reply SNOTQT!

I guess I was getting mixed up on terminology, I have the roof racks like you do and not the luggage rack. Luggae rack rails weren't an option when I was building mine online. I have 2 kayak carriers and I'm happy with them and the roof racks (because I can take them off!)
Your Mini looks sweet, I really want a spoiler. (wasn't an option when I ordered)

I used to fish that lake that NKU has when there was only Regents Hall, Nunn Hall, and the Library. I saw my first concert at Regents Hall in the late 70's. Little Feat, front row and center. What a great show!
The Cold Spring I grew up in has been completely devoured by sprawl.

That's why we live in Grants Lick! (you didn't even ask did you?)

You and I know there just isn't another choice in the matter?

Milford CT harbor. I've never seen it look bad there.

Definitely not. BRG and MINIs go together like peanut butter and jelly.

I will say it does look much nicer than Cove Island in Stamford, where I took my photos.

Looks good

Is that an aftermarket spoiler or a dealer fit??? Totally different from the JCW one that is supplied here in the UK.

That's the new factory optional Clubman spoiler. You can also get the JCW spoiler like you get in the UK as an accessory here in the USA.

Thanks!

The Spoiler was a last minute add on. I had already past my budget with options when my MA twisted my arm to the breaking point. Super high pressure sale. He said, "you sure you don't want the spoiler" and pointed to the one on the showroom floor behind me. I took one look and said, "yeah, what the hell" LOL

Really finishes it off imho. Glad I did
