Newbie Saying Hi

Hello everybody,

Just got my Mini clubman s from the dealer yesterday after getting some goodies added to it. My wife and I have waited 8 years to get ours. It is a 2010 clubman s in horizon blue. 6 sp manual. We added the cooper works package, rally lights, clear bra protection, and window tint.

It is one bad mini. It is VERY hard to follow the brake in rules and can't wait till after the brake in period is over. And of course we (wife and I) fight over who gets to drive. Guess I need a second one!!

I live in Denver so any info on the local mini clubs and general stuff would be helpful. Like where to buy all the cool stuff. I already checked out the vendor page but I know there is a lot of cool stuff out there left to find. Looking forward to being a part of NAM.

Denver---Great roads for a Mini----

I was out in Denver about 2 years ago. Drove up to the top of the mountain where Buffal Bill is burried. I did not have my JCW then. I was driving my friends Toyota Corolla. I can't hardly wait to get back there with my Mini JCW next August to run some of those nice twisty roads. Oh! I went up the mountain the back road. The main road brought me down and it was boring.

I'm hopeing to get to Mini in the mountains in 2010.

Welcome, it appears you have bought a very nice Clubman.

Post some pictures when you get a chance. Think about getting together with the local MINI Club --- MINI5280.

We do have an active area on NAM in the clubs section. Some activities are already planned for January.

Enjoy the MINI and wash frequently, you MINI will thank you.

Don
