Introduction

I have been lurking for awhile now, as I picked out my options and then waited for delivery. Well the day finally came, on Friday I picked up my new BRG Clubman.

To break her in we drove her from Stuttgart, Germany to Garmisch, driving through the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. We saw 2 other Clubmans on the road, a black and silver, and a blue and silver.

Not all was perfect though, they built her with the wrong headliner, sorry to all the grey headliner lovers, but I think it really clashes with my tan interior, so now for the fight to get MINI to fix the mistake. Even on the build sheet it had Anthracite listed, I think someone in Oxford had a few too many pints the night before.

I will post pictures after they fix the headliner.

Kevin

Congrats on your Clubman. Sounds like you had a great "first drive".

Congratulations on your Clubman. I hope everything comes out OK with your headliner and the dealer does the right thing. You have a contract with them in your order. Make them honor the contract.
