My new clubman!

Hi All,

Just picked up a new Chili Red clubman yesterday, and it is a blast to drive. Went from a truck to this, so still trying to get used to it

Gonna put some miles on it this weekend. Hope to get past that 1200 miles!!!

Excellent, welcome and congrats. I traded in my F-150 on 35s for a MCS and never looked back.

Congrats, I love the Chili Red. I wanted that color but I wasn't willing or should I say able to wait.

An F150 is what I traded in as well! Much easier to drive the clubman around

I couldn't trade my F-350. My dog likes it too much!

Good choice on the red Clubman, that's what I got too!

Haha, my dog hated my f150 for some reason. Not sure yet if he likes the mini.

I went from a Ford Ranger 4x4 truck to the Clubman and both my labrador and I are much happier. Have fun with that red one!

Welcome to the Club,man!

And I also commend you on your color choice! But I'm not biased or anything...!
