'Bout Time I Ordered My Clubman

Well, I couldn't be happier today............

I finally ordered my clubby

This is what I ordered:

NFR w/ black roof and c-pillars
6-speed
sport pkg w/ 5 spoke star wheels
premium w/ oak steering wheel
cold pkg
Lounge leather carbon black
oak interior
dark gray color line
xenon headlights
upgraded sound
bluetooth/iPod
white turn signals
anthracite headliner
rear foglamps

Now for the long wait til December 15th

Fortunatly, she should start production the first week of December and I should be driving her the week after that

Now, all I need to do is name her

Sport Package

Congratulations lilliux!

I'm itching to place an order for a Clubman too. When I spoke with an MA on Saturday he said the Sport package wasn't available for order yet - are they taking orders now for that option?

Thanks - Tim

Congrats! I love NFR

You have a long wait on the front end, but you are fortunate to live on that side of the pond and get a quick delivery after production!

My MA was able to order it (sport package) for me, but that is why I have to wait until December for production. If, I could forego the package I could have my clubby in about a month. He thinks that the ones ordered with the sport packages will start production the last week of November / first week of December.

If you are willing to wait you should be able to order it know, that way, in theory when production starts for the sports pakage; it should be on of the first ones made.

Congratulations, I absolutely LOVE the NFR. That is the first way I placed my order and only at the end (and a lot of hemming) went with the Dark Silver. I just saw a NFR the other day and it is such an engaging color. The time will go quickly!

I love the color, still have yet to see one in person though. However, for right now it is the only reason I am getting a "justa," I'm still chewing over that; trying to justify myself out of the "S."

I'm still trying to drive a justa, my MA only had an S to test drive, so I don't know about the difference. I was thinking that I can just upgrade to certain parts, and make it more like an S.

Fortunately I have a lot of time to mull, unfortunately that's way to much time to think about it.
