We bought home 2 Coopers yesterday! One for me and one for the wife......

08 Lightening Blue Mini S with blue leather/carbon black cloth.

Cold weather, Premium, Sport, Anthracite headliner, Multifunction steering wheel, Chrome interior, Center armrest, Rear fog lamps and White turn signals. 6 Speed! 3 miles on the odometer.

I bought the wife a 08 Pepperwhite Clubman S.

Lether punch carbon black, Conv package, Cold weather, Premium, Sport, Anthracite headlineer, Steptronic, Chrome interior, Rear fogs, Lifetime Satellite, White turn signals.

Man these cars are really cool. The best part was the 2 hour drive home!

Headed out to garage to wash and wax them! Pics to follow soon.

You, sir, are no mere mortal!!!!! Congrats on the 2 MINIs...you are really going to enjoy them. I predict there will be few arguments on which car to take out on errands.....now who gets to drive may be another matter.

Did you buy them in April - if so, you're definitely part of that 39.4% uptick in MINI USA sales. Congrats - you're both very fortunate, indeed!

But wait - why wash and wax already? Forget that and go out and create your own rally.

So is the Clubman really "for the wife" or do you expect to be splitting your time between the two?

Was the Clubman a special order? Did you keep the Z06?

There was a bright red Z06 traded in to Ferman Mini a month or 2 back...

Congrats on your purchases! You may be my new idol

I picked up my MC (seen below) last week. Saturday my wife ordered her Chile Red/black Clubman. It will be 3 months til the Clubman arrives but we will then be a 2 MINI family. They are amazing cars. It's been a long, long time since I actually looked forward to driving every day.
