It actually looked really good with the wheels. It's a clubby and that's all that matters.

OK...well it looked like a PW - but I'm not bias or anything...I'll enjoy a Clubman regardless of the color!

Oh - I didn't realize that at all... I see, well, then - we'll look for you in the spring and hopefully get a good run in then! Enjoy your travels and keep those photos coming!

On my way back to work from lunch this afternoon (I was driving our Clubman and rasputinj was riding shotgun)...We were heading north on the 101 in Thousand Oaks and I spotted two 'regular' MINIs and then caught sight of this PW. I had to speed up and switch lanes, trying to catch the person's eye while sputtering to rasputinj to get the picture (but I was not really using words). Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of seeing 2 yesterday.

this lovely yellow Clubman was parked out front of a Stein Mart, near my house.


and this handsome PW/S Clubman S, merged onto I-77 South bound, from a rest stop near Rock Hill.

Sometimes I miss living in Cali. All my family and friends still live there. I used to live in Carson, and my husband lived in Mar Vista. I had a few friends that lived in Thousand Oaks, Calabasas, and Tarzana. In fact, one of my best friends now lives in Simi Valley. But, I digress. I do miss being there, and I especially miss the weather. But then I think about having to deal with traffic on the 101, the 110, the 710, the 10, the 60, the 605, the 105, and the 405 Parking Lot, and I'm glad I moved away, lol.

She is a long time friend that I met in high school. She lives over where Long Canyon Rd turns into Wood Ranch Pkwy, but she works in Hollywood. And she doesn't drive a Clubman. She's saving for the best environmentally friendly car possible, preferably an electric one, so I'm putting her on the list for the field trial of the E.

Yep, that's what I do, lol. In fact, I'll be out there for Thanksgiving this year. It'll be the first Thanksgiving I've had in Cali since 2000. I'm so exited! I don't have to cook!

Btw, a part of your user name contains the name of my son, Kian, so I smile everytime I see it.
