Picked her up this Saturday -- traded in our S4 Avant on it. It's been a lot of fun so far, but I already can't wait to get rid of the run-flat tires. Looking forward to seeing y'all on the roads....

 

Very nice. Good luck.

 

That was the 1st thing I did when I bought my 09 Clubby

Difference was like between night and day

 

Congratulations! Very nice!




...can't say the same for the parking job, though. ;-)

 

LOL, wasn't me....the dealer put it there!

 

That's what I figured. Shame on the dealer!

Interesting, a Porsche/AUDI/MINI dealer?

 

Nah, just Porsche/Audi. We got the car through Sonic's VIP program, and they don't have a local mini dealer, so we got it through the closest one (in SC) and they delivered it to a local Sonic franchisee -- just happened to be a Porsche/Audi dealer. So I got to ogle the V10 R8 'vert while we waited.

 

You might want to remove the crooked dealer sticker above the MINI emblem.

 

Most definitely. As soon as I acquire a bottle of goo gone.

 

Congrats.

I hate when they put those ads/stickers on the car. Worse when they can't put it on straight!

 

Congratulations. Looks sharp. Do post some interior photos too.
Is that your Avant parked by the side?

 

Great looking color combination, congratulations!

+1 on the request for an interior pic, and also requesting a roof photo if possible. I am also considering a roof stripe on a Clubbie, and not sure how long it would look. Thanks.

 

Very Nice! Congrats And Motor On!

 

quick ride!

 

sweet!

 

If an officer would have caught that they would have cited it for parking in handicap parking hash marks and wrote it with the VIN - pretty expensive.

Congratulations on the car - I would love to own one too.

 

+1

 

What is the 'Sonic VIP Program?'

 

Sonic is a big dealership chain. My wife represents them as part of her job, so she gets access their VIP program -- which basically means good pricing, but you have to get it through a Sonic dealer. Which is why we bought from an SC dealer when we live in MD.

 

 

Good one!!!

 

What is WITH the comments on how the Freakin thing is parked?
You people MUST be OCD.
BTW The dealer sticker is crooked.
Id make THEM take it off.
AWESOME CAR !
The wheel thing...
First Clubman I drove had RunFlats on it. The car felt like it had no small bump compliance.
Drive a Clubman with 15"s on it. Best ride yet.
Now every time I say "Clubman" I get an image of that poor guy on "DaVincis' Demans" last night, tied to the wheel. Gnarly stuff

 

It's parked in a Disabled Access parking spot. Some of us may have been sensitized to the need to keep those spots open for the people they were intended for.

Plus, in many cities (because it's mandated by city code) it's a ticket-able offense to park in one without a permit/license. In theory, because the OP had purchased the vehicle, a passing LEO could have cited HIM for the dealership's parking violation.

 

Any passing LEO could drive onto PRIVATE property and cite someone?
In my state, someone from the dealership would have to call the Police to have them cited/towed.
Unreal.

 

When you apply for a commercial building permit and a Certificate of Occupancy, you are playing in the public arena. If Disabled Access is a city code requirement, you can be cited. Public Access private property is less private than you might think.
