I would love to see your photos in a larger version! It's very hard for me to see who is inside... Do you have a tamed wolf or two?!

Beautiful Dark Silver Clubman and stunning wolves!!

OK, let me try again. The modified wolves are Finagle (Shiba-x) and Murphy (a purebred Whatsit). These are only marginally larger than the last ones. Guess I might need to read some instructions on how to attach photos. The car was 1 day old when I took these photos, look how dirty my baby got so quickly!
I have a pooch protector on order.
Oh, and the photo of the real wolf I attached the first time I took on the same day I picked up the car - I figured it was fate or something.

I took delivery on 11/14 of DS/DS/Bk JCW and been trying to drive as much as possible to get the break in miles on it so I can really have some fun.

Another new DS

Picked this up at the end of November--good weather and free time have not coincided for me to get better pictures. It's an S with black LL interior, piano black color line, black headliner (can't wait 'til summer!).

Can I join in??

This is Morris, my 2009 MINI Cooper S in Dark Silver (or as we used to call it, German Racing Grey).

Hope to give my baby a good wash and polish this week and take some proper photos for the Gallery...Janine

New DS

We picked this up last week from Mini of Sterling after ordering it in June 2008. We waiting an extra week to have the VentureShield installed (full aero kit and bonnet, headlights, mirrors, in front of the rear wheels, and bumper). It was worth the wait.

I had to negotiate with my wife to sell her BMW M Roadster and Jeep TJ. Because of the wait, I had to purchase an interim car, a mint 2006 Cooper S. Another worthy investment, confirming that she would absolutely lover her new Clubman!

Mission accomplished!!!

Absolutely love the Dark Silver - with both the Black and Silver roofs. Honestly, if they'd made it in a non S, I'd have gone for it in without a second thought!

Fortunately, I have a DS/S living in my neighborhood, so to speak, so I get to enjoy seeing it.

Congrats to you!

I'm a proud owner of a '08 S Clubman. First seen it in Hawaii in July '08 while on work travel. Had one in my drive way '08 Sept. Oh, you should have heard the jokes from family and friends. Such as, "You bought a Mini Hearse." or "A midget car for a midget man." and even, "You got a license to drive that skateboard?" The best is when I took them all on a drive. They loved the sound of the turbo. I loved the sound of them screaming, "Slow this M/F down!" as we were hitting 70 mph on a cloverleaf.
