Oh yeah !!! It was... In fact, all days it is fun to drive a Clubman

 

Hi Sebastien, looks like you had a lot of fun. We just got our Clubman S a couple of weeks ago and I am getting used to driving a stick shift again. I grew up in Germany and learned to drive over there. Still breaking her in and had to drive 65 mph in a 70 mph zone. It's kind of hard when you know how fast this little car can go. But then again here in the States you can't ever drive it that fast anyways. Have you taken your Clubman to the German Autobahn yet?

 

Same Car
Same colour
Same Name

I*m Sebastian too

Nette Bilder hast Du da!!!

Kennste schon www.mini2.info ?
Da treib ich mich herum *grins*

 

This is funny. You guys live just a few hundered km apart and find one another on the american Mini site.
Werde mich mal auf dem deutschen Link umschauen. Danke fuer den Tip.

 

Not yet... but probably in 2009... I want to go to the N'Ring...

But sorry I don't speak German... I live in the French speaking part of Switzerland

 

wtf...thats scandalous!
ok i dont speak french..switzerland is confusing!!!

 

I have. It goes 244 kmh on the speedo... which is about 236-237 GPS.

Completely stock except suspension. (30 mm lower)

 

Amazing! I havn't been on the Autobahn in a Mini, but my nephew (he is only 5 yrs younger than me) drives a Mercedes SLK 320 and I must admit that I had my eyes closed for part of the drive. That car just flies and stays steady as can be. Of cause there is a slight difference between both those cars, price being one of them.

BTW, I don't speak French either, guess we better stick with English!

 

My Clubman... "N'Ring" addicted of course !!! And ready for the MINI United...

 

Nice wheels!

 

Seb: We took possession of our new pepper white Clubman S in late March. It is a great car and we are absolutely very pleased with our purchase. Keep on motoring!

 

It was also in March for my Clubman... but 2008...

 

welcome to NAM~ great shots of your clubby~

 

SebM - I so wanted to attend MINI United...! We have a PW and live in California, so won't be there . Please take pictures!! Enjoy!

 

OK... I will try to make a lot of pictures...

 

My Clubman at the Spa-Francorchamps track, the most beautiful track of the world, and on the mythic Nordschleife !!

 

What's up seb
You know I love the front end on that clubman! I may in fact plaits-dip the front end of mine when it arrives. It's a great look!

[QUOTE=ftttubrgcm;2151668]It looks great. I'm sure most of us here in the US would give a portion of our body to motor around Switzerland in a Clubbman S.[/QUOTE

I mentioned this in our PM but my wife's family is Swiss on the German side and I always fantasizes about cycling there. I do a lot of road and fixed gear rid in the mountains and though we're probably going to get out there to switz next year, irony think she's going to let me bring one of the bikes. But I'll get a hold of one there if I have to. The alps call to me! That said, man, to travel with your mini somehow... When I was in France I was imagine getting around in my own mini instead of our rental car. Ha, auto tourism!

Anyway, nice shots, these latest track ones. In the almost four years I had my first gen MCS I never tracked it. My boss takes his 335i regularly. He even offered to pay for my track days for the into class but somehow I never managed to do it. I'm kicking myself now. I'll be tracking a clubman s, but I'd have liked to have done the first mini too, for comparison!
Cheers
