Looks like he just got his Adventure Pack as he has the barn door Zug sticker.

This driver was also motoring about as fast as a cement truck on the highway. Serious NAM rules infraction if you ask me.
ahhhh is that 485?

nice shot Wampa!

Yep, I saw another one today, Laser Blue I think but he was going to fast even though I was ready. He was unpicturable.

I just spotted this thread this morning, and thought "wow, I NEVER see a Clubman in the wild..." Too bad, since I'm already starting to think about ordering one (we just got our MCS Convertible 2 months ago). Then this morning, on the way to my daughter's soccer game...

ok, finally have time to post my catches!

1. A PW/B heading northbound 280 near Daly City. I had to veer off my normal route to catch this one. Pepper white karma continues!

2. A CR(?) heading down Folsom in the City. Question, Parkerton: I took this photo while the clubbie was waiting for the signal - is this one point or two? No big either way, I'm just happy I was able to catch two in one week! Woo hoo.

Congrats on the pics. HTClubman and I have been amazed how many Clubmans we have seen in the Burbs in Ventura County. We love the bay area, lived there years ago while HTClubman went to Mills College in the East Bay. I used to work a lot on the communication towers at Mt. San Bruno right next to Daly City. But that was years ago.

We might need to put a built in camera into the car, so we do not crash while trying to pull out our iPhones. Plus we will seem less of a stalker.

Nice shots from the Bay Area. I grew up in San Bruno (many years ago). Went to South City High. Is Mt San Bruno the one that had the words "South San Francisco, the Industrial City" written out in flowers or shrubs or something?

I'm sitting here with no points... only seen one Clubman in town in my rearview mirror, too fast for me to take a pic. I'm enjoying the pictures you all are posting though.

Thanks. Actually I have not seen too many Clubmans around the Bay Area. This week was very unusual for me to spot two, much less have my camera phone ready in time to snap the pics.

re: Daly City. Small world! I grew up in the South City/San Bruno area so I know the area very well. I went to South City High and frequent Daly City all the time.

I'm sure you do not miss the fog!

Wow. This is REALLY a small world! I mentioned in my previous post that I went to South City High, too (like you, many moons ago)! Yes, Mt. San Bruno (or rather San Bruno Mountain) is the mountain that has the words you mentioned on it. My memory escapes me a bit so am forgetting some of the details, but when I went to South City, a bunch of kids climbed up the mountain and colored some of the letters to form "SSF HS" or something like that. I thought that was very cool since we had quite a rivalry with cross town El Camino HS.

Suck it, I'm in first finally, even handing you 14 points worth of Clubmans I couldn't get pictures of.

This is two MOVING pics.
