I love that interior leather seating, Casey has good taste in cars and interiors! And hey, check it out, she also has the same Flame-spoke wheels that I just bought for my Clubbie S. I hear those are the lightest stock wheel available, a big plus in the handling dept.!! Although mine are 16" versions, I didn't know they made a 17" variant - very cool!
I really think the Clubbie S is the PERFECT family car - plenty of room for the kiddies and their gear and yet still a sporty vehicle - good on ya!
Cute kids, too! I'll have to dig out some piccies of my little brats <g>, they were absolutely adorable at that age. My opinion changed a bit when they became teenagers
I got one of each, a boy and a girl. The little lady preceded my son by a year and 2 months. It was funny, too, how they got to name my cars. I first had a white '87 Mustang GT which they christened the "White Pony". I then replaced that with a red '89 Taurus SHO (honest, honey, it's a MUCH better "family" car) which was dubbed the "Red Lion".
I can still remember when we'd get out on the highways around Charlotte, NC and my daughter would squeal with glee and exclaim "Come on, Daddy, make the Red Lion roar!!" I actually got off a ticket from a North Carolina State Trooper by telling him that "my kids made me do it..."
Wow, pretty lady, beautiful kids, and a snazzy car - life as Casey Jones is pretty good!! Remember these days, Case, they're the best ones of your life...

Hey rlw! 
I was actually cheering for my *gawjus* friend Casey Jones. That is her new PW Clubbie with Tuscan interior, and her beautiful girls.
I have the HC Clubbie and my "kids" are the 4-legged variety.

That is a seriously good-looking Clubbie, those wheels are righteous! And I bet they don't show much brake dust either. Since you've already done the grill surround and other chrome trim black and have the aero kit, I bet it would look perfect with blacked-out headlight surrounds. Maybe even consider doing the door handles in black, too
No kidding, I think you have the best looking Clubbie on this website, I REALLY dig your car!
Sooooooo, where do you live and are you planning on being away from home anytime soon...

Great shots, jbcola - that church (I think it's a church) is a beauty, too. Very interesting graphic - nice to see something different, yet subtle.
Love your tint mrdirosa - perhaps someday I'll add that to my own.

jbcola, that's the 3rd set of wheels I've seen you post for your clubman!! My favorite were the last set... I really like your old BRG MCS too... do you miss your MCS or are you happy you made the switch to your Clubman?

Wow, 5 different sets of wheels! Your mounting and balancing fees must be astronomical!
However, I think the current wheelset is, by far, the best looking for that car. I would stick with those, mate, I think ya got that part sussed. Just black out those headlight rings and yer done!!
I went with tinting on my Clubbie S, too. But the local Gestapo, I mean State Police, have been known to bust folks for it. And when they do, you have 2 weeks to yank the tint off and either not re-apply it or go with 35%. Sooo, that's what I did straight away, mine has street-legal 35% tint. I got nicked about 20 years ago and I'm still steamed about it.
The really $hitty part about it is that SUVs and Minivans are allowed to go much darker because they're licensed as trucks. And limousines can go VERY dark. Now where is the sense in that?
