here is a thread I started last week with photos of mine in it--I am terrible with posting pictures on threads! http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3674302

If anyone knows how to take those photos and post them here, please send me a message.

And mine's been on Flickr for a few weeks, if you haven't found it yet!

It's a pretty Cooper Clubman D! Shame we're never going to get that in the States!

dlpruk 02-15-2008 09:27 AM

Thanks Krut - how did you do that?:confused:

"Never" is a long time so don't give up hope. I'm no fuel technician but as the D meets the tightest European pollution limits running on ordinary Cetane 50 diesel and is quieter and more torquey on Cetane 55 BP Ultimate I wonder if you can explain to a simple Brit why your diesels have to have fancy urea injection?

Are your limits even tighter or don't your fuel companies make clean Cetane 50 fuel?

Great colour! :eek2: Too bad the beige interior isn't so nice.

dlpruk 02-15-2008 09:34 AM

Hi William,

I know lots of people don't like the beige but I do. :lol: And it would never do for any two MINIs to look the same.:razz:

that HC "potentially" looks good, but it would be great if you took some better shots as it looks Black right now ...

and we need some great HC shots that show of its true color

paulkountz 02-15-2008 12:35 PM

if you look at mine, they show you a really good view of them.

Loony2N 02-15-2008 12:39 PM

What is the Clubman Launch Package? Did they take my suggestion to add an ejection seat?

Yes I know.. I really need to wash it properly and give it a bit of wax, HC looks amazing in the sun.

And buy a decent camera! :grin:

Nice car btw, I saw this color at the Philly auto show last week, very cool, especially the brown & cream interior.

I'm curious how the Checkered dash will look!

lotsie 02-16-2008 04:09 PM

I would like to see either a PW/B or a BRG/B. From the rear, as I want to see those C pillars and the hatch:)

What other views of BRG/B would you like? (I'll try to add them to my Flickr set.)

CR&PW&JB 02-16-2008 05:07 PM

As much as I've bad-mouthed the Clubman, I must say, after seeing several of them in person today, they're not as hideous in person as they appear on photos. :wink: :lol: Seriously, they're not awful in person. They're not as long as they appear in pics. And they do have some practical features... like a real back seat. :thumbsup: :lol:

Thanks for asking:nod:

How about rear hatch doors open, with seats up and down. Shots from the club door looking into the boot with seats up and down.

Thanks:thumbsup:

I plan to wash the car on Monday so I'll see what I can do.

Pictures just don't do the car justice. I saw some in person today and they're great!

Photos really don't do it justice, it's a very nice design in real life!
