Thanks Joe and ClubDal! Sorta overwhelming where to start, but my experience mimics so many other here (waiting/tracking on Undine/lusting) that it's all old hat for most of us already! :D I bought 'Pelle' sight-unseen (a few glimpses of a Clubman whizzing by) and no test-drive/fitting, so I was taking a risk (6ft. 230lbs) and bought motivated by mileage..needless to say I'm TOTALLY blown away, and mileage is now the furthest thing from my mind! LOL I predict a few sessions with online traffic schools are in my future!

MaxG - very nice looking Sparkling Silver/BLK Clubman and not a bad location either.
lurch, once again - nice shot! Living in the city has its perks with some great photo ops...and of course you've got the perfect model with your MCCa.
Alphawave - is that a Sparkling Silver with Silver? It looks really good - very subtle and understated. I really like the looks of your color choice, don't think I've ever seen it before. Nice gallery shots, wonderful location you've picked, as well.
Blackdelight - congrats on your new MINI ...but it's not a Clubman is it?

Hey Otra and KPWright..thanks for the compliments! I know this is primarily a pic thread so I'll keep it short. Pelle went for first roadtrip to Point Reyes National Seashore (Marin County California), unusually calm,clear day.

Sparkling Silver w/ Pure Silver roof/mirrors/rear pillars justa, Tuscan Gravity Leather, brushed aluminum dash. Goal was two-fold: Silver/silver since it's the Silver Anniversary of our marriage, and I was concerned about heat since I commute to the central valley (where it was 108 for three days straight last week) I wanted as light and bright materials as I could get. A few of the Mini's I've glimpsed inside have dark, and almost claustrophobic interiors (IMHO), even though I have happily discovered it's also an optical illusion, plenty of room for a big man and the wife to stretch out a little, we're NOT pressed shoulder to shoulder, and the cockpit feels much roomier than it appears. Interior to come, I promise.
