A year and a half ago I sold my MC and have owned several great cars since but I always missed driving my MINI despite its lack of power. So last Saturday I went to MINI of Alexandria to check out the Clubman and I mentioned that if I were to get a Clubman I would probably order Clubman S, but not for a month or two. But then the salesman showed me a loaded 2010 JCW Clubman corporate car they had just received from MINI USA. It was driven during MTTS and only had 2800 miles on it. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was it! It has everything option I wanted and a TON of extras I didn't, but are still nice to have:

Lounge Carbon Black Leather, Convenience Package, Cold Weather Package, Moonroof, Automatic A/C, Nav, Xenons, JCW 18" Cross Spokes, JCW Aero Kit, JCW Carbon Fiber Hood Scoop, JCW Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps, JCW Alcantara Steering Wheel, JCW Roof Spoiler

The only thing missing is tinted windows, a shorter antenna, and maybe blacking out the chrome trim.

For me, it's the ultimate MINI! I love the look of the Clubman with the JCW Aero kit but most importantly, I'm falling in love with driving a MINI again. When I bought my Mazdaspeed MX-5 I never wanted to just go out for a random drive like I did with my Cooper and now my JCW Clubman. All I can say is, it's good to be back!

I haven't been able to get some good pictures due to the weather, but for now here it is:


And a couple of snow pics:

 

Congratulations!! Looks fantastic! This is the best Clubman I've seen so far! Your planned mods will really make it look mean. Glad to hear you are back in a Mini and now able to enjoy driving again.

We purchased our first Mini JCW in October and we are so glad we did. It's amazing how fun these little guys are to drive.

 

I want a clubman more and more each day! Damnit!

 

Well done! Welcome to the JCW Club,man!

Good color/striping combination, by the way...

 

Dude!!!

Sweet Clubbie!

Congrats and best wishes....

 

 

Beautiful!

Welcome back to the Club, man!

 

Great looking clubman, enjoy.

 

Very nice!! Another JCW Clubby on VA roads . My wife just gave me the JCW CF shift **** over the holidays. Recommend getting one to go with your other JCW accessories. Has a much better feel (IMHO) than the stock ****.

 

Nice find!

...

I want your aero kit...

 

Nice wheels, you will love them. I know I do,you don't see them every day.

Were you at the dealer (Passport) over the weekend? I know I saw your Clubby. I was drooling over the wheels and CF mirror caps

 

Thanks everyone! Like I said, it's great to have a MINI again. I've owned a lot of cars for someone my age and for me, there isn't a better car for real world, everyday driving. I loved my Cooper but it doesn't even come close to the JCW!

And yes I was at Passport on Saturday getting the extra key programmed. It was weird seeing my Mazdaspeed that I traded in last week on the lot, if you're interested in a great little MX-5 swing by! And if you live in the DC area and you want a MINI, go talk to Andy at Passport. He did a great job!

 

That's a great color combo.

 

Very nice, one of the coolest clubmans I have ever seen.

 

Wow, looks great. Enjoy your new JCW!
