[Very nice.. I think I saw you last week on the Happy Valley roundabouts..Was that possible? I am In N Phx.. you should come to one of our up coming fun runs.. check out www.dynamicminicollective.org]
AZMINIMAN,
Don't think it was me, my vehicle is usually either going to and from the airport/Gilbert and Scottsdale/Airport.
I work Thur thru Sun and most of your activities are on the weekends but will check out your calender and see if I can show up for something during the week.
thanks

The Tuscan on PW is stunning...Joep has it and I LOVE it!

Since our PW is White with Blk we will be replacing the 16" Spoke rims with Blk Konig Feathers or Team Dynamic Pro 1.2 17" wheels with non-run flats. HTClubman has bought off on the aftermarket blk wheels so life is good. Just looking for a deal/good installer for Clear Bra in either LV where we are going to p/u to Clubman or in the Ventura County area where we live in SoCal.

I also like the Tuscan Leather but thought it really went with Hot Chocolate color a lot more than PW and Blk. It is very hard to wait for the Clubman...

Yes, to quote Tom Petty - 'waiting is the hardest part'...I LOVE that HC, but am worried I cannot manage keeping it safe from dings, dents, etc. So, I admire Lady Godiva and other HC from a distance .

Seriously, I'm at the limit of my budget (actually beyond, since my budget for a new car is, oh, about $10) I'm trying really hard to justify spending more and at the same time trying really hard justifying leaving everything as it is!

Jack arrived

Last week we traded in Madison (05 pw/b mc) for Jack 08 mccs pw/s/s...sorry, dont have pics yet, but will soon.

Jack was ordered on July 8, finished production on July 22nd and made the trip on the Southern Highway to Charleston...then to Cincinnati Mini.

Jack is pw/s/s with bonnet stripes, convenience, cold weather, comfort pkgs, blk punch leather, fluid silver, manual, blackjack scuttle and rubber mats.

I am going to post about my comparison under general comments...

But the wife is now 24 wks prego with #1, so it came just in time.

It's a kit from H&R, not only the spring, but a totally new suspension. Regarding the "ride", I think it is better than before as the car made less "little jump" on the road... sorry English is not my "language", so I don't know how to explain... but really, it is incredible how it is better to drive !! I am totally satisfied !!

SebM - very nice. Rasputinj and I have a very similar PW/B on order - black racing stripes, black rims. So, thanks for sharing - allows us to see what our new baby will really look like .

Hey- my Clubman is here! It has been totally amazing! What a wonderful car- totally fun, and amazing gas mileage. I have only had it a short time, and already have so many people asking about it. Love it! Here is a picture of my new PW in the favorite configuration:
