But when I see a car like this:

Don't know about puking, but it would not be my choice of stripes, wheels, etc. The color is fine.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

You really done it now, Phil.:lol:

Don't be sorry, it's just your opinion.

Terry F. May 14, 2008 08:20 PM

I rather like it, what's so offending?

Thanks,
Terry

Agree, what in particular makes you want to have such a negative physical reaction?

LarryParker May 14, 2008 10:10 PM

I always thought thats what MINI was all about, every one of us gets what they want. No one to please but yourself

Big Jim Swade May 14, 2008 10:18 PM

I don't care much for it either, but I think the Clubman S looks better than the R56.

moe-jiller May 15, 2008 07:41 AM

Which Areo kit does the subject Clubman have?

ClubmanS May 15, 2008 07:45 AM

I like it Dr. Phil. Do I need to have my head checked?

rexicon May 15, 2008 07:52 AM

me likey a lot

gokartride May 15, 2008 08:03 AM

Puke?? Perhaps that corrigated metal is playing tricks w/ your equilibrium. As far as MINIs go, I've seen far, far worse!!

Try this!!!

But even then, hey, somebody loves it!!!!:nod:

Dr. Phil has always been very emotive on TV where he plays a doctor.:wink:

Right, gokart - there is truly no accounting for taste!:grin:

jonnieoh May 15, 2008 08:39 AM

Wasn't too offensive to me...

lurch70 May 15, 2008 08:53 AM

i like the Clubman in the first post ... looks clean enough

someone once said "the key to great modding is knowing when to stop"

CR&PW&JB May 15, 2008 09:31 AM

I'm with Dr. Phil on this one. I've come to like the Clubman (not LOVE it, like it) but this one... not so much. I think it's the side stripe that makes it seem sooooooooo long. Makes it look more like a station wagon, IMO.

Jim Ray May 15, 2008 09:39 AM

You should not be sorry, lots of people have no imagination. There have to be some people who buy gray cars and keep them stock, or we would have no future BMW owners. :nod: :lol: :wink:

Otra May 15, 2008 09:42 AM

:nod: !

Scoopmama May 15, 2008 09:42 AM

It's not so bad. Reminds me of an espresso martini!

This one looks like its straight out of a Disney animated film.

I thought that's what every R55 was already...:)

Gawd gkr -- that's one wretched MINI. Certainly worse than the Clubby in Post #1. But, as you say, she was somebody's baby once...:roll:

Winner winner, chicken dinner!!! Yeap, that one wins the ugly award in my book! :eek:

cooldaddy May 15, 2008 09:59 AM

I also like the Clubman in the first post, remove the side decals/stripes and I certainly would drive it...

Otra May 15, 2008 09:59 AM

I have to say that my vote does go for this last one as being quite unattractive , but I'm sure its owner loves it.:wink:

Agreed, Cooldaddy - w/o those side stripes it looks quite good.

Donna/Mike May 15, 2008 10:29 AM

It's not my taste - but hey - if the owner likes it - that's all that counts. That's what "You-if-i-ca-tion" is all about...:nod:

Donna:cool: :grin: :cool:
