Woo-hoo!

Well...finally pulled the trigger and got myself an '09 Clubman...Chili Red with black accents! Been driving a silver crv for seven years. Needed a big change.....talk about a head turner. Have had more people come over to my car in the last 48 hours and ask about the car than I ever had! Glad to be a part of the mini community! Spent many hours on this forum looking befor eI bought. Thank you for all of the great information!

Congrats on becoming part of the Chili Red Clubman Club!

Looks like you were able to get some shots between rain storms in Seattle.

Hey, I know that car. I've been seeing it on Craigslist. I'll be in the market for a Clubman at the end of the month when my house finally closes. I've been going nuts ever since I sold my 2003 MCS.

Congrats!

Be sure to check out the two local clubs in the area. They're both very active and are great groups of people. You'll find me there as Sanderskog as well.

Chili Red is such a great change! I also chose red after driving silver and bronze colored cars for the last 10 years. . . I have also added tint as dark as allowed in my state, and I love the look of the dark windows with the black roof. What a looker!

Have fun

I agree! Been driving a silver CRV (total soccer mom car) for the past 7 years. Red is awesome! Love the clubman! I get more comments on the black / red combo also. Going to tint the windows also. probably not too dar, just a nice accent. already gray and cloudy enough here in seattle!

I'm not biased or anything, but that's a fine-looking color combination you've got there!

As a friend of mine is fond of saying: "Drive it like you stole it!"
