Welcome Clubman Owner
Always glad to see more Clubman Owners join. 
We all seem to like our MINI's, some just like more room..
First thing you will notice is that the Clubman rides smoother.
However they don't corner as tight, on the race tracks.
heheee if you can't tell I love the smiles to the right when your posting a message.
Please don't forget to post some pictures so that we all may enjoy, you can do this by signing in, and going to the upper left corner into the gallery and post them there.

Thanks geppers! Glad to hear about the smooth ride but will miss the corners on the track, but heck, that is why we have hubby's R53 JCW!
Thank you for the tip on the gallery, actually I have a few gallery photo albums on the beauty (04 JCW R53) that I just kissed goodbye tonight... check her out, she is gorgeous, although I am biased. I miss her already.

I see you ordered your car with a rear spoiler . I think the Clubman looks much better with a spoiler. My friend ordered her Clubman with a spoiler too, and she had the dealer install the sport stripe on the back of her car (see my gallery) to give it an even more sporty look.

Seriously? Why did my owners lounge update never update? What is the point? I am still showing 'on order' but it landed somewhere on the West Coast today... am I missing something?

SHE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Picked her up today from the dealer... motored over to have her windows tinted and to the Oakland Hills I went for a few quick glamour shots...
First thing to go will be that antenna... I have a 4 inch Alta stubby en route.
I apologize for the lack of precise photo efforts but wanted to get these posted stat!
I will be taking additional pics tomorrow in the morning light to avoid the glare but for now.... I simply could not wait.
May I introduce to you BluBayou ...... my first CLUBMAN!
A quickie of the interior...
Piano Black Dash and Doors
Chrome Interior Rings
Black Leatherette Seats (not two toned... just the flash)
Swapped out the EOM shift **** for my Whelan!
