After a LLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG day of waiting, I finally got to pickup my Clubman this evening. It's good to have a MINI back in the garage...I was starting to get the shakes.
Took delivery with 7 miles on the odometer, and was in and out in under 30-minutes. Got a pair of blacked out license plate frames, and my son got a MINI toy car, from my Motoring Advisor...so that was nice. The frames will go well with the blackout theme I intent to undertake over the coming months. It's a bit weird getting used to some of the controls after driving my R53 for 10-years, but I am liking her so far.
So just a few quick iPhone photos this evening...hoping I can get better quality photos in the coming days once I get some mud flaps installed, and add a few of my touches to her.

I go to bed early ONE night and look what happens... two more MINIs delivered ! I bet you guys wish I was feeling a cold coming on every day and go to bed early.
@ Anibus: Woweeeee !! HOT ! We have a JCW just like yours in our local club and let me tell you, photos don't do it justice. Those black-on-black stripes with the red pins really pop in person, as you know. Awesome JCW, congrats !! And yeah, it's been a rainy week and more to come. Get your QD spray and microfiber towels ready.
@ Sdiver: That is one of the hottest Clubman I've seen. Well done, indeed! Love those wheels... ties the whole look together.
@ Q: Now... I've not been so secret about my MINI. I've told everyone about everything on my MINI but one little thing. And the Captain of the MH called me last night... told me he's going to have to charge me for all the crew members he had to assign to keep the seagulls from pooping all over my MINI strapped to the back of his ship. Damn.... wasn't budgeted for that.

Hey, cool! That was my ship! Is it my Bayswater I see in the parking lot?!?!

So I'm driving a Countryman S All4 for the day, and I've already whacked the center console trying to open the driver's window. (I also folded the mirrors trying to adjust them, but I'm not going to tell you about that.)

A least it wasn't the Captain of the MH calling to tell you he's going to have to charge you for cleaning up after all the crew members who were pooping all over your MINI strapped to the back of his ship!

Thanks CR&PW&JB...much appreciated. I loved the wheels too...they were a must have with the Pepper White/Black combo, definitely tied it together.

Man I love this car !!! Picked it up on saturday and yes there was literally a petting zoo at the dealer. Goats ducks and bunnies. Here are a few pics I got of the car as well. I didnt get it washed and its been raining everyday so far, so she's not at her pristine shiny state yet. I definitely cant wait to go for a drive over the long weekend though.

MA's system finally caught up with what we knew days ago, I'm on the Michigan Highway.
Should be about halfway across the Atlantic now... left on 6/29, due to arrive 7/7. It's been out of range for AIS for a couple days now.
Did I miss your post about picking yours up ? Weren't you getting it like yesterday ? Or am I not remembering correctly ??

Hey MD Minis, did you get off work early and take advantage of the rain break? I finally got to wash, clay and wax the CM. my neighbors looked at me weird as the sky continues to darken for tonight's Tstorm, but at least I managed to spend some quality time with my MINI so she feels welcomed and taken care of

Great news, CR – Your car just hit the port in Baltimore.
However, remember how the shipping company kicked your MINI off the first boat and marked it "Returned to Shipper?" Apparently there was a mixup in Southampton when they were loading your car on the Michigan Highway ...
So, is this your big secret?

We knew CR had a secret...
The Baltimore VDC ha been churning MINIs out rather quickly. Hours. Of course, CR has dealer options worth of wait time too... Right?

Yeah, it sounds like he ordered so much stuff that the dealer will be able to buy a new yacht with the profits.
