Our "new" 09 Clubman S
Last week, the truck arrived from North Carolina to us in San Diego with a Laser Blue R55. It was a MINI program car with 9000 miles on it. I found it on the MINIUSA site and Flow MINI in Raleigh did a great job in the long distance sale.
It's got Premium, Cold and Convenience packages. 6 speed manual. No sport, but it does have Xenons, HiFi, Sirius and HD radio. We're looking at what upgrades to do now. My wife thought she wanted to get rid of the black cloth seats, and I see that we have that option with Katzkin leather and others, but we'll see how we do. So far the car seems to be in near perfect condition, with only a weird dinner plate-sized area of dull paint on the passenger door that looks like some superficial work was done on it.
The Clubman arrived just in time for a picnic at the yet-to-be completed MINI of San Diego dealership. It was still a great time to meet fellow MINI enthusiasts, hear about the dealership plans and enjoy some BBQ. We promptly drove the new car over the mountains to Palm Desert, loaded with my four family members and our small amount of luggage. It was worked out great! We're happy to have the addition in our garage.

the orange clubbi is back..now i got two clubbis 
i'm thinking about keeping both
my cousine drove the orange mini for about 5 month now...but she has to move too china to study the language.
now i*m thinking about what to do now? cause the JCW makes too much fun, and i cant drive two clubman at the same time.
but it looks funny on the parking yard

@lance : thank you i really like your PW JAC ^^ with new the stripes on the doors ! it looks perfect to the rest...lower your clubbi 
and then it's perfeeect !
you know what.. i*m just thinking about the side skirts from the factory aerodynamic package - they would give youre car a great side perspective.
i dont get over this:
so youre just hangin out??? 
"NO I'M NOT DRIVING - ....just chilling
"
i was "hangin out" on the passenger/drivers seat in a MINI R53 when i was in school exchange in London for 6 month, it was weird to drive and using the cludge and to shift with my left hand. so i was soooo much glad that my guest mum gave me her smart fortwo to drive in school
but it was defently fun... and you know what? i felt in love with MINI in england..not in germany
when i was coming back home i sold my VW golf and it was the right decision
and i love this bavarian english product 
@carman: believe me...i*m sooooo gellous ! i dont get rota rims here :( they are not allowed :(
it looks perfect ...and now lower him!!! then i'm much more gellous...
@cooperSS: yellow stripeeees yellow mirror caps...so cool with BRG... and nice lowered.
i will get orange or red stripes soon... i need some colour.
