Took the plunge on a Clubman S too

After months of lurking and asking questions I ordered my Clubman S 6 speed last week. It will be Sparkling Silver / Black , Tuscan Beige, Cream, Oak, Chrome Interior, Convenience, Comfort Bluetooth, Cold Weather, Xenons, Anthracite, Auto A/C, Nav, Hifi, Park Distance, Limited Slip, Rear Fog

I have received a production number with a week 44 build. Now the waiting begins. Thanks to all for your help and suggestions. This is a great site. I find myself here several times a day.

Thanks LadyG. The pics of your Tuscan / oak interior helped to push me over the edge.

Congratulations on your order! I heard of someone waiting two years for a Ferrarri so your wait won't be too long!

Yes, this IS a great site (and I actually need to get off here and get some work done...)

rPod,

Congrats. It's been said, but it's so true - you are going to love your Clubman S. Last night, my wife and I took a ride to the store and three hours later we ended up at home. We drove from one end of Orlando to the other - just motoring, just checking the sites. Had the windows down (its our one week of Autumn) and just had a blast. You too will do the same!

Congratulations on your purchase! I've had my Clubman S for 31 days now and I can honestly say, no other purchase in my life has changed me and my outlook so much...

You're gonna love it!

rPod,
Congruatulations on your order. I'm sure you'll love your Clubman S! I certainly love mine. It nearly broke my heart to leave mine home for a week while I flew to a conference. I got hubbie to take her a few times for me so she wouldn't get lonely!
