New clubman

I just purchased my Clubman on Friday and really like it so far. I went from a Ford F350 SRW to this Clubman. I still have my dually for pulling my horse trailers.

Congrats, you will like the R55 more each time you drive. We need more info about your car and pictures.
If you have the "S" it can pull a horse trailer no sweat... Just kidding. You really can learn much about Minis here.

Congrats on your downsizing. I'd recommend the money you saved on gas to go right into your clubman. What kind of clubman you get? Pictures?

I got no way to not let it touch dirt since my driveway is 3/4 mile long, gravel and dirt. Got to get some mud flaps...

Wondering if I should do silver stripes with a pin on them? Not sure what color pin due to the roof being silver, maybe red?!?! SHould I do the barn doors too?
