Love the midnight black.
Thanks everyone. I can't believe she is finally mine, I have been waiting for a while and it feels a little surreal that she is finally home. I am extremely happy; I keep waving at all the other MINIs that I see. By the way this is my first new car ever 
The blacks are very similar, there is only a hint of mettalic that comes through when you get extremely close or under florescent lights. Its quite stunning

(I had been told 20 weeks when the order was placed.)Welcome to the asylum. Your Clubman look great! We all wish you many happy miles of smiles.
Thank you, I only wish I was in the states so that I could participate in the clubs and events.

Fortunately, I live in Germany so it doesn't take as long to make it over here as it does to the states. The 19th is when I received my VIN, she started production on the 26th, then was finished inspected and shipped the 28th. She made it in country on the 3rd of December and was at the dealership the 5th. Then it was just waiting for customs, inspection and prep.

I had the bad timing to place my order during the "Summer Holiday" at the plant. Also, I was one of the first '09s built, so it took 8 days to get from start of production to the truck. When I place my order, my MA told me that December was my projected delivery date, so I was very pleasantly surprised to take delivery in early October.
So far, the Ghost has been a pleasurable experience. It is great fun to drive. (even just cruising down the roads with traffic)

This car belongs to a customer. It's lowered on KW Variant 1 coilovers. The wheels fit the stock struts fine, but are rubbing slightly on the KW's, so it's going to need a small spacer on the front.
The wheels are 18x8 Linea Corse MC.
I think it looks just awesome.
