R55 Clubman sightings... while driving your Clubman!
Lightning or Laser blue/Black (couldn't tell which blue...it was in the shade headed the opposite direction and I was driving um...spiritedly
)with a roof rack and a bike on top, heading East on I-26 near Landrum SC.

Was driving on the 210 freeway in LA today heading to Pasadena. rasputinj and i (well, I really) spotted a silver/black Clubman on the opposite site of the freeway...took a mental picuture, but wasn't able to get the camera ready quickly enough...
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!

when you went by.....

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.

I'd like to see a picture of that. Very interesting...

). 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?

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.
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!

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!

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!
