Finally, spotted another Clubman while driving mine - a beautiful Sparkling Silver/Silver one making a right hand turn onto Playland Parkway in Rye, NY. For a minute I thought it was Alphawave!

Unfortunately, my camera was not at the ready and I couldn't snap a shot of it. The color combo really did look great!

Hey SClubman... Welcome to NAM.

I don't live too far from ya. I'm on the north side of Winter Garden and travel through Windermere all of the time. We'd love to see pics of your clubman.

They're multiplying! Spotted two more today - a LB/BLK S in our town and a CR/BLK beauty with stripes in White Plains, NY.

Saw a beautiful HC/B yesterday when I was out at lunch...super exciting! I haven't seen many here in SoCal, but will add one more in Oct/Nov when ours will be ready!

Hey Joep, thanks for the welcome. Just put 1700 miles on in 6 days and still getting used to it after having 2 JustaCoopers. Longer wheelbase, heavier and now an S. Will post a picture some day - Lightening Blue/Silver and hood stripes for now. Will keep an eye out for you. I run 535 most of the time to and from the mouse house.

Saw a PW/B Clubman yesterday driving through Landsdowne. I liked the color combo, but I was a bit unsure of the silver sport stripes the car was sporting.

Interesting color combo...we have a PW/B on order, but chose black racing stripes...not sure about silver ones?? I suppose 'to each her/his own'.

I'll keep an eye out for ya SClubman, but my wife and I don't head down to the mouse house much (allergic to rodents ). j/k.... Actually we stay away from all parks because of the crowds (and my wife works at Universal).

See ya around.

BTW, are you a member of Sunshineminis?

Joe

I've seen PW/S with silver bonnet stripes, and it's gorgeous! But to have black bits and silver stripes seems odd...hmmmmm.

Yesterday was a banner day. I saw a NFR for the first time -- what a beautiful color. I saw that car again today -- it's home is right on my commute.

Also, I saw a HC/S at the grocery store. My daughters went nuts when they saw another clubbie. I've seen that car several times around the area, I think.

As an aside, it was also a better day for waves -- around 50% of the 12 or 14 Minis we saw waved. A couple even initiated!

Half the cars in front of Prestige Mini are Clubbies now. The invasion continues!

At one point I was going to build Elphie to be DS/B with black sport stripes on the bonnet and boot, and silver on the roof, but I thought it wouldn't work.

Wow, we have similar taste... that's exactly what I originally wanted, but my hubby convinced me to go with the bonnet stripes because "they just scream MINI". But, I think the other way would have looked awesome!

Maybe for my next one...



*side note* I just re-did my sig- it looks better than I thought it would!! I know, I know- "toot-toot"

Saw my very first *other* Clubman yesterday - ironically even though I drive about 600 miles a week, mostly on interstate routes (e.g. I see ALOT of cars), I saw my first Clubman while waiting in line at Dairy Queen - how ironic. Anyway it was a silver/silver combo S, but an auto! That's blasphemous!

Love the new sig!

I think we have great taste! We both love the Clubman! I wish one day I could see a Clubman in the ds/b with mixed sport stripes until then I have the car in my mind!
