This is my first post! (probably breaking the first gear rule...)

Picked up my '09 HC/BLACK JCW a few weeks ago. I've also got the Toffee interior, I think it's sweet as heck! I'm thinking of turning these silver 17's into winter rims and getting some black wheels for summer next year. We'll see what the wallet says

I'm hoping I can eventually have the gas door painted in HC and the mini roof racks that I added redone in black. Also installed my rockymount bike racks in black on the roof racks this past wednesday... no pics yet.

Can I have a number?

Cheers,
Roby!

 

#087 mbiedzinski --- Gotta drop off the HC list as I'm now a Reef Blue owner!

 

Please add me to the list. Picked up my '09 S last weekend, and loving it so far.

 

2008 S Clubman
Driving it for 3 month, enjoy a lot.

 

Hi all, just purchased a 2009 HC Clubman. Absolutely the best color on the planet! Can I join the club?

 

And one more '09 R55 S to add.

 

Does anyone have a chrome hood scoop on their hot chocolate S? I just noticed my stock scoop is slightly dented. It's subtle, but now that I see it, it drives me crazy. Was thinking about getting a chrome one, but I haven't seen any pics of it on a hot chocolate mini.

 

We have the chrome hood scoop on our hot chocolate and silver roof Clubby. It looked great until the heat caused it to deform. We installed the heat shield but it was too late and the chrome paint is peeling. Thankfully we kept the original scoop in h/c and most likely will reinstall it rather than buy another chrome scoop.

 

Wow, thanks for the tip. I would not have imagined it would be that susceptible to heat.

 

I would like to join. My HC is named Hershey. May I have a number?

I'll try to post pix (I'm sure you'll all have a good mental image without 'em), but at 5 years, 101K, and after a weekend of auto hygiene buffing and puffing...still the coolest car in the lot.

 

I'm going through a checkered stage.

 

Traded in my 05 Ranger for better mileage and more fun. Went in for a 2010 R56 Cooper S Mayfair. Black Roof, Manual, well loaded and seemingly not abused.

Now off to drive it around some more.

Oh BTW first post and first MINI Cooper!

 

Hello, did First gear.. Will do first gear with Hot Chocolate club.. love it!

Salted Hot Chocolate:

 

Well, after-
106,736 miles
NO major problems
More smiles than I can possibly count
...
HCOC #047 is headed to a new home in Alabama. If my (gasp) great niece decides to participate in the NAM community, perhaps she can pick up the torch. Great car, beautiful color, gobs of fun.

I'll be changing my .sig to reflect the move to a Brilliant Copper Countryman S shortly. Motor on, all!
--D.

 

Is there an "Iced Chocolate" owners club thread? Clubman or Hardtop. I don't see one.
Does anyone have photo that shows Iced Chocolate, or know what it looks like?
I'm pondering the new MINI and would likely repeat the brown theme, but I don't know the difference between the two chocolates. They look the same on the Configurator.

 

Iced Chocolate is just a bit darker. Cross between Astro Black and Hot Chocolate. Was featured in the release of the Highgate model.

 

Will update in a couple of weeks but my Clubbie's paint was severly damaged when it was transported so it was just stripped and painted. All the Rally Edition green goodies are gone, not sure if I'll put them back. I'd have to buy a side grill... one of them just flew off when pulling it off transport... I checked the other side and it was really loose... don't know how I never noticed this before... such BS.

Anyway, I haven't seen the car in person but these were the pics sent to me... looks good and I'm told it looks good but don't know yet. I plan on wrapping the entire car, will definitely show pics of it then.

 

Thanks for that photo of the Iced Chocolate, Mini/M
. It seems that our color is out of production now.

 

Ive gotta get a more up-to-date photo!! Ive got a plate on the front that says "BROWNOTE", its black with silver raised letters, look sharp. Need to get the windows done too.

Impressive little buggers!! All my friends that have driven it are very surprised by every aspect of it. Fit, finish, ride, power, efficiency, style, handling and SPACE!! I play in a band and can fit everything that i could fit into my '93 subaru legacy wagon into the MINI.

 

Just a random pic of my R55. Maybe feeling guilty about trading it next month for an F56.

 

Hello!!! After many years of wishing, finally purchased my Hot Chocolate R55 and would love to join the club.

Thank you!!

 

How do we get one of these?
