That's funny, I noticed that this morning! See we aren't the ONLY ones who want our own club!! Maybe non-clubman owners are jealous so thats why they didn't want us to start our own club! (j/k)

When I get home from work I will send you detailed instructions (maybe an hour or less than hopefully).

Talk to you soon!

I noticed I went into first gear, and with meaningless posts like this one I'm on my way to 2nd gear, I did find somewhere how many posts it takes for each gear, but for the love of me I can't remember where.

+1 on needing pics - I love looking at pics of Mini's!! And when trying to pick a color, the most logical place to look at pics should be in the color-specific threads, don't you think? But I still haven't seen a single picture of the exterior of the car I ordered (non-S Clubman PW/Silver roof & stripes). Of course I suppose if I could find a picture of one, I'd be drooling myself to sleep every night.

It was a picture of a PW/Silver Clubman S that finally helped make up my mind (Thank you, Uncle John) and pull me back from the dark side (NFR/Black) and order this combo. When my car does finally show up (OK, its my wife's car) next month, my gallery will be full.

Delivery set for 3:00 pm today!!!!!

I spoke with my MA this morning. Delivery of my Clubman S is set for 3:00 pm today! The weather here in Maryland is just beautiful, so it looks like a great weekend coming up!

Also, my MA told me that that MINI has a new color combo coming out which they call "The Tuxedo". He said it is almost my exact car, including the sport stripes, but with black wheels! Pretty cool, huh?

Please include me as apart of this special group. My PW/B Clubman S should be here shortly - hopefully I'll pick it up next Saturday!

Her name will be Elphie, short for Elphaba.

Took delivery today!

Hey all:

I was able to take delivery on my PW/B Clubman S today! What a great car! I am very happy with the way the sport stripes look on the Clubman.

Only problems were that some colorblind English guy installed cream armrest on the passenger door (correct) and a gray armrest on the driver door (very incorrect!) and we were missing a little cover for the tow plug on the rear bumper. The armrest kinda shocked everyone when we noticed it. They said they had never seen that before! The are placing the orders to correct these two items.

Here are some pics I took while waiting to close the deal today:

Nice looking cars lewe1773 and richs10 Love the stripes Crazy about the armrests thats a big mistake to say the least. Do be careful with speed in the new rides I know myself and a few others got tickets in the first few days. They get going quick

richs10, love those stripes - especially in the front the way it highlights the MINI wings! Annapolis is a fantastic town for MINIs.
