Oh, what a BEAUTY!! Love that pic with the snow capped mountains. *happy sigh*

A BIG CHOCOLATEY WELCOME to you!!!

 

OK, I'll admit to an HC Clubman. Not an "S". 2010 model. Black C pillars, but everything else body-coloured. Heated seats were my only option. (Glad to see that BMW Canada dropped the silly packaging of the heated seats with the sunroof -- which I definitely did NOT want!)

Took delivery on Dec. 29th. Already got something like 1500km on the clock, which included a back-highways trip to Toronto and back.

My only complaint -- so far -- is that the vertical windscreen *really* calls for a lot of windscreen washer action in the slush. I had to stop and refill the washer fluid even though I had enough fuel for a round trip without refilling. Oh well, it gave me a chance to stretch my legs and grab a coffee.

I imagine this thing is going to an issue once the weather warms up and the bugs come out to play.

Yep. MINIs are bug magnets.

WELCOME! Got pics?

 

I guess it's a good thing I'm old enough to not care any more whether it's a chick magnet or not. (Not that there's anything wrong with nice looking ladies, or cars that they're attracted to.)

The Clubman was the ONLY vehicle available in the Canadian market that satisfied ALL my requirements. And it's a hoot to drive as well!

Looking forward to many happy years together.

I was just picking up on your "bug magnet" and then kinda free-associating to the more common car description of "chick magnet".

Like the line from one of the Batman movies: "Chicks dig the car."

Oh.

 

A Christmas present. Do I qualify for membership. PS - I LOVE THIS CAR!!

 

you betcha! They all look nice, as does yours. A fine present, new?

 

Almost new. Dealer driven, just 3000 miles. A Christmas present to self.
I have added Chrome mirrors and I'm looking to trade a brand new pair of chrome "S" scuttles for chrome scuttles without the "S" (JCW). A great guy named Slade gave them to me with the chrome mirror caps. Any idea where I might make a trade?
Also, not sure what membership brings besides getting to know other lucky Hot Chocolate owners. Let me know if I can get a badge or something.
Thanks!

 

We would like to apply for membership. We understand brownies or cookies are the application fee - let me know where to send them.

No pictures in signature (yet), but I have some posted in my gallery from the Mid Cal Minis Lee Vining Run this past October.

WELCOME!!

Nice lookin' Clubman. Looks like that drive was pretty sweet, too. Speaking of sweet, I'll take those cookies and or brownies.

 

Hey, seeing a little ...deficit... in sending those cookies to lower NC altitude. Tighten it up up there...

 

Cookies? Wha?? Who, me??

 

 

 

Hey everyone, I've not contributed for a while so I thought I would share a piccy of my clubman on a recent 1000 mile round trip up to Scotland. This place was called 'Rest and be Thankful' in Argyll. Mini has been with with me for over 2 years now and just gets better everyday.

I am lovin it.

Awesome pic.

 

Membership update. See post #1. Welcome everyone.

 

Just got mine yesterday - Cooper S Hatch, Mayfair, HC Body, HC Roof, no stripes. I'll post some pics soon! I've been wanting a Mini for years, the fact that this year I can get it in this fantastic color justifies the wait.

 

I can't wait to see it! WELCOME!

 

Welcoms jayCT! I think it's cool that HC's been singled out for the special edition coupes.

Of course mine's Hot Chocolate and grime right now.

 

I just got mine Friday! I love it! Check it out at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3838146

 

Hey, another Godiva! How 'bout that. Welcome!

 

AH AH AH!!! why hasn't anyone bought one of these, stuck it on a bike rack, taken a picture, and posted it? who needs a cool new bike because I found one for you?
