While I'm not quite the cameraman that jbcola is, here's a couple shots for all you Mellow Yellow fans out there!

Also, here's a big thanks to all you dudes and dudesses out there that have sustained me with pics of your great Clubmans over the last 3.5 months. Now that mine is finally here, I'm all about returning the favor. Cheers!

P.S. Did any one else find out the hard way, like I did, that the 16" R90 webspoke wheels don't fit the Clubman? (More specifically, the Clubman's tire sensor won't fit in these wheels).

This is really sad seing all of these Clubman photos. I have had my clubman for over 2 weeks now and have yet to take a single picture of it. Here is the real biggie I am a photographer and have not taken a single picture of the clubman.

Well thank you! Our first choice was HC then we got to the dealer and there was 3 there (one demo, and 2 sold). We then decided to go out on a limb and go for the NFR. We never saw the color in person until 8 weeks later when we picked it up, but we couldn't stop smiling

Took delivery July 15th and these are the first pictures I've got. There is so much that could be said about the driving experience so far - I'll just say WoW! I did a lot of re-evaluation of my choices during the order process, now that I'm driving Sparky if I ordered today I wouldn't change a thing.

Well I finally got to take some pictures of the Clubman. She got a bath this morning and then a photoshoot. I tried to get into a friends studio this morning that has a first floor cyc wall but he was shooting so I took it out to the country and took a few that look decent.

Well, it was worth the wait - my favorite is the close up of the MINI emblem - but they're all very well done. I think it's great that you kept the regular orange turn signals, etc., because it really looks good with your beautifully, shiny and clean Clubman.

Quick question - what color is your dashboard - is it the standard one because it looks very good with your interior.

It is the standard dashboard. The top of the dashboard is blown out because of the way the sun was coming in the window. I plan on taking some more interior pictures tonight when I can control my light better.

Beautiful pictures Bumgardnern and all the other posters! I can only sit and drool at them as I still have around 4 months before mine arrives.

I went to the dealer the other day to checkout colors. I knew already that I'm getting the NFR, but I keep vacillating between the black or the silver trim/roof. They have such different feels to them and both are beautiful...any votes?

I would get the black with NFR.

I'm also a body colored roof fan, too, but the NFR and black is really sharp, especially with black bonnet stripes!

NFR FTW Just picked up my girlfriend's Clubman July 26th, all stock except for 35% tint and 16" Rota Grids. We'd never seen the color in person until taking delivery either but we love it! Driveway pics are never the best, but here ya go:
