And with her 5th parked Clubman capture, HTClubman TAKES THE LEAD!

Fertile Turtle...WOW! Great job! Just to make sure, that red one was in motion, yes? I LOVE the MY/S combo on the 2nd capture!! Way to vault up the leaderboard from relative obscurity = )

Whoo-hoo!!! I know I won't be in that place for long, though. But I'm enjoying it while it lasts!

yes. the red and black one was coming right at me heading East on Catawba Ave. as I was heading West. I tried to line it up and almost missed it as it passed me.

thanks!

HTClubman, I was sharing a little bit about this contest with my wife yesterday and I told her about you being among the leaders but that you were unique because all your Clubmans were parked. She said to me..."He (not knowing your gender) should've just waited by the parked Clubmans until the owner returned and pulled out, then he could've doubled his points!"

Pure genius!!!

I should be crushing this contest. My total should be 16, instead it is 4.
Gooooo Panthers.

I've been considering LB/AB w/silver/black bonnet stripes. just so it will RAD at the games.

AHHHHHHH, all this time I was thinking you were headed in the SAME direction as the CR/B Clubman and was confused because it looked like a residential neighborhood. But now I get it. Wow, thinking about it...I think this is an AMAZING capture since you had so little time. You MUST have one button access to the camera on your phone!

I've done that twice. But after 5 minutes I bagged it and just took the 1 point.

Don't think I haven't thought about that!! I'm just too dang busy and don't have the extra time to wait!! Believe me, I'm still stalking one of our neighbors who has a blue clubman. rasputinj and I have both seen it driving up the street, but didn't have the camera handy . It's SOMEWHERE in our neighborhood. We're sure they keep it in the garage (which makes it hard to see)!

Parkerton - One more thing, living in So Cal (as you know living in No Cal) - folks drive FAST, so it would/will be tough to catch them while actually moving!

Nice job HTClubman and fertile turtle! That HC/B one has me rethinking my order (DS/B), egads!

I didn't know that moving ones had more value (not that it makes a dif since I haven't seen any in awhile) but I may have to give a little push to any parked ones I see . Game on!

Don't go rethinking your color choice. I love the DS/B combo. My MCS was that color combo and I love it. HC/B is great. I was down to three color combos and I chose PW/B, but they are all so cool.

Agreed . Thanks! I can't wait for the production to start since that way I can't even play with the idea of making any changes .

I'm surprised that I don't see more Clubmans in Seattle -- maybe I'd better try some different routes to the office to help my score.

HTClubman, I don't know where you are in So Cal, but unfortunately my experience w/ So Cal driving has been sloooooooooooooooooow...just bumper to bumper followed by short hallelujah moments of 30-40 mph sprints.

Yes, we have lots of traffice here, no doubt. But when there's no heavy traffic, it's peadal to the metal. If you're going 75 mph in the fast lane, you better get over or you will be run over (we're so friendly here...).

Congrats on your first Clubman in motion!!!

I'm SO BUMMED, I saw a MINI come up on my right lane today and thought for sure, it was a traditional MINI, but as it passed me and turned right, it was a Clubbie!!! My first missed Clubman

I caught sight of this clubman on my way to work but like most I didn't have the camera ready. I did some investigating and found her hiding near the local post office.
