Nice hotdog vehicle...I captured a Clubman 2 days ago, but it's one I've already posted (so no points for me on this one)...but enjoy it anyway!!

No points, but definitely an "A" for effort!

all right. throwing my hat in the ring. I snapped this pic earlier in the week but the forum would NOT let me upload then, for some reason. This clubbie was in the garage that I park in downtown San Francisco. Must have been good karma since I got the 'call' for my own clubbie (same pepper white!) the day after and now it is home today. Anyway, ring up a point for me.

Yay! kechman8 - Congrats (on both items). I'm jealous! We're waiting for our PW/B Clubman S...it's 'in the bodyshop' according to Ask MINI...won't be long!

Thanks! The Clubman is great - I'm very happy with it. Not sure about you, but I struggled mightily with color choices. As I usually do, I followed my first impressions. Seeing the PW/B combo at the dealership yesterday, now again in my driveway, I am very happy with the color combo! Hope you have the same experience and get your ride soon!

Ha ha! Great idea! Usually I avoid 101 like the plague, but for this contest I may have to make an exception!

Nice captures HTClubman and MBX5 -- like yours too Parkerton. It's always cool to see pics of the Clubman next to other cars for size comparison. I can't wait to see my Clubman sitting next to my husband's Jeep (if not for just the fact that would mean that I actually *have* my Clubman ).

Keep catching and posting those pics! I'm in a sight drought right now and feel like I'm tracking the elusive Big Foot...

Yes, we did struggle a bit with colors. I LOVE the HC, but know I will struggle keeping it clean and lovely. PW is a little more forgiving. I'm sure we'll be happy when we get it next month .

too bad, so sad. At least it's very competitive for the rest of us.

Alright, now we're talking...a 3 way tie at the top of the leaderboard. 3 1/2 months left and it's ANYONE'S game! Seriously, us leaders have 4 pts...that can be beat in a single weekend! Just gotta be at the right place at the right time!

I know. it only adds to my envy. My children are actually making fun of me now. My oldest said to me yesterday, (I didn't have my camera with me) "MOM!! aren't you going to take a picture of that MINI??" she was really upset that I missed out on a BLUE one.

We keep a camera in our car to catch any we might see. I'm still trying to catch one in motion (more points!)...but driving on LA freeways - they and I are moving way too fast to actually take a picture!
