I made another attempt at catching this color, in good light this time. Notice how just the angle of the camera changes how the color looks in the second shot compared to the other two!
Wish we could attach more than three photos to one post.

Attempt at artsy-ish Clubman shots
I'm not by any means an accomplished photographer, but that doesn't mean that I won't play with the camera . . .
P.S. - That middle shot reminded me of a lame joke that my high school algebra teacher told about a million years ago. I'm lousy at jokes and won't try to repeat the whole thing here, but the basics were that it was about a snail who drove a small fast car with an "S" on the side. The punch line was "Look at that little escargot!"
Sorry . . . I couldn't resist - That's one of the few jokes I can remember!

Been looking for these wheels all over the internet with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction? I know these are Breyton Replicas, but I can do the Breytons as well.
Thanks for the help!

I finally picked up my 11 Clubman S. This is the start of my MINI experience and the start of a new life experience as I was released from my job due to down sizing. I look at this as an opportunity to experience something new in car ownership and career.
I was so worried that I would not like my descisions on color and accessories but I was knocked out when I saw for the first time.

I love the piano black interior of my Rally edition! I'm glad they didn't do it up in that green. Leaves ms lots of options for playing with the outside. I put on the blackjack interior mirror, side mirrors and skuttles last winter, had black exterior mirrors for a while. I'm back with my green ones right now. It got too cold on me too fast to risk the plastic cracking to put my blackjacks back on this winter. I do wish they'd included the straps for the luggage basket so that thing could actually be used. I'll have to pick some up this spring.

Thanks for comments. Building the Mini was very difficult. My dealer did not have many units with up graded interiors, so it was difficult to "see" how things looked together. Not only that but I was all over the place when it came to the actual color of the car. I thought for sure that I wanted Hot Choc and then on one of many trips to the dealer I saw the MB w/silver in a cooper and that was that. You have to realize that my MA was getting to the piont of just make up your mind. If she sees this I am sorry. In the long run I couldn't be happier.
I will tell you that once I found the config on the MINI uk site it all started to come together. That site gives you a better representation of what the car will really look like as compared to the US site. I did find that on the UK site they have quite a few restrictions to pkgs and colors.
Hope this may help someone else make decisions.

I have the foam gun that attaches to my small pressure washer which does a much better job then one you just attach to your hose. It takes a little bit to get your soap to water ratio just right but once you do the foam is thick and all around makes washing a much more pleasant experience, also puts your mind at ease knowing you have enough foam and suds so you wont scratch your paint, especially for a black car its a bit pricey but well worth the price!
