Hello! New Owner in NC

Picked up this 2009 Pre owned Clubman last night for my new commuter vehicle. I was looking for something fun to drive, good on gas, stands out on the road, and decent back seat room. This fit the bill!

I traded down from a more expensive car with more luxury features, but the driving was so disconnected. Plus it got like 23mpg on my daily drive. So far so good with 35mpg on that same drive to work from the MINI.

Welcome. It's hard to beat a MINI for a fun ride. I just got back in a MINI after 6 years and I am enjoying driving a MINI again.

Congrats!

Join up with the Tarheel Mini Motoring Club now. You're in an area where they meet a few times a month, I believe.

My plan is to finish the blackout. Going to order the JCW grille, paint my headlight trim and grille trim, and tint film my headlights slightly. Also buying a kit to cover the chrome trim around the windows. Also planning to try my hand at plasti dipping my door handles. Will get the windows tinted when the budget opens for it.

I love the look of pepper white contrasted with black!
