Walked in for a test drive, and you can guess the rest.

Hello!
As the story goes, we were driving home from a bowling tournament and decided on a whim to stop at the mini deal and test drive a few. A few hours and one wedding photography meeting later we drive off with a brand new Midnight Black 2013 Clubman S. Still have not managed to get some good pics, but I will be posting them up soon.

On a side note, the new Mini dealership in Sacramento, CA is pretty nice. They are still putting signs and the internal decorations in, but it's going to be a pretty nice space for many years.

Welcome to NAM, and congrats on your new Clubby! Find some twisties and go turn that mother out!

And when you get back, find a local MINI club so you can socialize with other local MINIacs. The owner/enthusiast community is one of the great things about owning a MINI...

Drive 'er in good health, and get ready for miles of smiles!

Welcome to NAM, Shinj0 and congrats on your somewhat unexpected MINI. Sometimes the best decisions are spur-of-the-moment ones. We'd love to see a few pic, so don't take too long deciding on a few good one. Happy motoring and please don't forget to promote the MINI wave.

Pretty much. I've cut it down to one a week for now, but had to make sure all my equipment fit in the back. At least a 3 and a 2 ball tote.

FYI , that false floor is only rated for like 80 pounds
And the spare tire hole is worse. I pulled the
False floor and cut a piece of 3/4" plywood and
Carpeted it , it gives you more height and can
Support alot more. I carry 8 ***** when wife
Is on my team ( 2 of the 3) I can email pics
If you want.
