I brought two of them home yesterday! A Mini S and a Clubman S :)

08 Lightening Blue Mini S with blue leather/carbon black cloth.

Cold weather, Premium, Sport, Anthracite headliner, Multifunction steering wheel, Chrome interior, Center armrest, Rear fog lamps and White turn signals. 6 Speed! 3 miles on the odometer.

I bought the wife a 08 Pepperwhite Clubman S.

Lether punch carbon black, Conv package, Cold weather, Premium, Sport, Anthracite headlineer, Steptronic, Chrome interior, Rear fogs, Lifetime Satellite, White turn signals.

Man these cars are really cool. The best part was the 2 hour drive home!

Headed out to garage to wash and wax them! Pics to follow soon.

she was interested in them for the gas milage as she has a Tahoe. Now she will only use the SUV for hauling the kids friends and winter time. She is looking forward to the higher gas milage. Her Tahoe is 13.5 mpg.

Very nice...even better that you posted this both here and in the Clubman forum. Based on this....and your acquisition of two MINIs at the same time...I suspect that you indeed have what it takes to be a true over-the-top MINIac. Enjoy the Kool-aid (and the cars) and welcome aboard!!!!!

Wow! Congratulations!!! I can't begin to imagine the level of excitement in your home right now. . . just getting my MINI threw everything off kilter. Last summer: No time to cook - I'm on the MINI configuator! Clean house? I have to track them across the Panama Canal and cannot leave the computer for 9 hours.
If it had been both of us there would have been NO sleeping or anything practical getting done!

Can't wait to see pics

WOOT-WOOT!

Congrats FlyingZ06, it is a day to be cherished, not one BUT two MINIs for your household... WAY COOL! Oh, and don't forget the pics!

I wish you and yours many miles & smiles as you travel down life's roads with your MCS & Clubman S!

BTW, judging by your moniker, is it plausible to assume that a Corvette Z06 resides in your garage also?

Welcome to the MINI life and NAM, enjoy your MINIs & Motor On!

Did you order those 2 cars or just buy them off the lot? If the latter this could be a first ever impulse purchase involving 2 Minis. What's the deal? (and congratulations, you and your wife will be busy motoring this week, will we be understanding if you don't post pix right away?--NOT).
