Hello... I've been MINI-fied!

Hello all...

What a great and helpful forum! Thanks, Google.

I'm new to Mini. My wife and I have ordered a Clubman S in AstroBlack w/ silver roof/trim. Supposedly finishing production tomorrow (!!). Decided to trade in her '99 Beetle -- for a definite upgrade.

My primary car will still be our 2003 Element... but I hope to drive the clubbie every chance I get ("Honey... I'm taking the garbage out to the curb. Can I take your car?"..

)

Full disclosure: not the biggest "car guy" in the world -- but admittedly, I never had anything to get too excited about learning to tinker around, mod, etc. Just what I've researched and observed thus far, MINI/Motoring seems like a culture and lifestyle, not just a mode of getting from A-to-B. And I'm glad to read such supportive, interesting, and educational posts on here!

I look forward to absorbing all than I can before ______ gets here in a few weeks (don't have a name yet!). Hopefully, only a few of my questions will be dumb...

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your Clubbie order! Once you've driven the Clubman for awhile, you're not going to be loving that Element for very long!
