Sighting!

[FONT='Times New Roman']I just saw my first Clubman. This blue beauty with a silver roof was cutting though a strong head wind going north on the 101. Unfortunately I was heading south. We were just north of King City. Does any one here know the owner? Oh, this was around 3:30 p.m.[/FONT]

That is what it was. Looks like they took highway 1 south to Nacimiento-Fergusson Road back to Jolon Road then on to the 101. What a great drive. Though if you are looking for views for your pasangers, go the other way. Just remember to have your ID (for everyone in the car), insurance and reg handy. You will need them to get on Fort Hunter Liggett.

Those are fun twisty roads. I saw a few more of them today. Not bad. I like them better in person. I would have to make it all one color though. Those rear side pieces in a different color aren't my thing.

I saw one on the 405 southbound on sunday... Blue with Silver... South Bay Mini.. the gentleman driving looked like he was having a good time.

I was blowing my horn and waving.. it took him a couple of minutes to get over the shock of exuberance on my part!!!

Maybe, because I live in Long Beach, I won't see one for a little while longer... I drive from Long Beach to South LA every day, but I guess the trendy usually stay north of the 10...

I saw a new Clubman for the first time ever @ 5:30PM on the road. We are within days of taking delivery of ours but never been inside of one, much less test drove one, yet (We have very busy schedules...ugh!) Anyway, it was a Cooper Clubman, Mellow Yellow with black roof. You can distinguish a Clubby from miles away due to the buldging/taller roof line and the cars does look longer. It was very nice color combo. Works great with the car.
