Looking at these pictures makes me miss looking at my car...I'm going to walk over to the window and make sure Lucky is doing well.
...
Okay, he's doing okay. He's surrounded by two Silverados and a Ridgeline, but they're keeping their distance. I tried to get a pic from my cell phone to this forum, but I'm not very good at all that technology stuff.

Join the group

Hey, I want to join the HC Owner's club too. I picked up my car last Friday, August 15. Beautiful machine. I only have one picture so far. This is from the the dealer's showroom when I arrived to pick it up (that's not me in the background).

Hey - nice tints hoonu! Seriously dark looking.

Lurch, old buddy, those are great shots - what a city, what a HC MCCa!

And congrats to jgraham on your new HC MCC, you've joined a great club!

... I can't help it, I am surrounded by crappy brick buildings in this city. they work well with the HC though.

have yet to find a patch of green that looks good with it though.


digging those tints, although a bit too dark for my taste (still like to wink at the babes) what % are they?

Lovin all the tint pics and can't wait to get my Little Bean and tint it up. So have a question for anyone. I see that some of us have a "Hot Chocolate Badge" as an avtar on the website. Does anyone know where we can get real Hot Chocolate Owners's Badges for the grills? Have checked a few websites but do not see "us" listed.

Membership update

Ok fellow club members, we are back from a great 2,091 mile road trip to Cape Cod, then up the coast of Maine to Saint John, New Brunswick, then back down through the Delaware Water Gap. Fantastic scenery the whole way. The Clubman couldn't have performed better. 34.6 mpg according to the OBC.

See post #1 for a membership update. Welcome new members!

Assuming you are on a windows box, just right click on the image and select "Save image as" or "Save picture as" (depending on your browser) from the pop-up menu. Then load it from your User CP.

Soon to be HC Owner

Hi Everyone,

This past Monday I ordered my HC MCCS with an expected delivery date of mid-Oct. The wait will be the worse part, but I'm sure well worth it. I live in the Chicago area and there are not many MCCS' on the road so it will be nice to have a car that is a little unique.

2009 MCCS Details:

- Hot Chocolate w/blk roof & pillars
- Black Bonnet Stripes
- Prem, Conv & Cold Weather packages
- 6 speed Getrag Manual Trans
- Sports Suspension
- LSD
- Xenon Lights
- 17" 5-Star Pace rims w/All Seasons
- Hot Choc Leather/Cream White Color Line/English Oak
- Chrome Line Interior
- Alarm
- MFSW
- Hi-Fi Sound

Thanks for letting me be part of the Mini community.

Wayne

Welcome, waynesot! The waiting is the hard part. Hopefully you've got a good MA to do the hand-holding. Read on and dream on!

Let me know what you think.

Fantastic! Looking great ...

You should have them remove that dealer advertising sticker off the paint though.

Wishing I was in Miami

Looking really good with that black roof! HC is one of the colors that I like with all its different color roofs.

Congratulations!
