Well, the day has come an gone. I took delivery of my Clubman on Saturday!
I really don't know where to begin. I just love the car. I'll post some more impressions in a few days (have a very hectic week). Anyway, I wanted to get some pics in here for all to see! Uh, well - check out my gallery and my flickr page:

Hope that you enjoy these pics as much as I have enjoyed all of yours!

Lurch,
Thanks for posting my photo. I guess I missed out on the $5; I am new to the forum.
How did you insert the photo in with the text? I belong to some other web forums and when I attach a photo, it inserts it in with the text, like yours. On NAM, I have only been able to "attach" it and then it shows up as a tiny thumbnail. I checked the help function, but no help.

Otra,
We like the the HC/BLK combo, too. It was my wife's choice; she is an interior designer and is very good with colors. I have not seen a brown vehicle on the road since my '77 Econoline Van.
Already getting appreciative looks on the road with the Mini.
Interior is stock color with exception of gray cloth sport seats. Light tan leather would look good, too, but I needed to keep the price point down. Maybe the next Mini.

Thanks for posting the pic lurch70. I too think the HC/B is a wonderful color combination and that the roof rails look great. I wonder when we'll see a pic of a silver roof with the rails. That would be interesting to see.
Also, does anyone know if that is a new antenna or waiting to be replaced with the ones we know as another poster suggested?

For fun I went onto the Mini website and built the most expensive Clubman I could - MC Cooper, metallic paint with every striped and decoration you could imagine, dealer installed options, leather seats and wood trim, Cooper wheels, to-die-for sound system. I was able to get the price up to $45k! without tax!

Rear height question
Me too. Our Clubman was purchased because of our Greyhound "herd". I purchased my 2005 MC three years ago and my wife immediately wanted a MINI, but she was afraid it wouldn't have enough "dog space". So she waited for the Clubman.
We are now a two MINI and four Greyhound family.
Here's our crew - Franklin, Sparkle Jean, Lucky, Paddie:

At some point our 10 year old Toyota Corolla (got it from the proverbial 80 year old lady - my mother-in-law) only 50K miles on it, will need to be replaced. Another Clubman (an S this time?) is probably in the cards.

In search of...
Okay, so I've started talking up a Clubman to my wife... of course we just got the R52 Cabrio a few months ago. Second car, Clubman, makes sense to me! Probably a year out, but I wanted to see an actual photo of an Astro Black with silver roof and pillars. Anyone have one they can show me? I've found AB with AB roof and silver pillars, but not AB/S/S. It does look good on the configurator though...

OK, now I've reread your post and see you want a black roof, too. There are a bunch on here with that combination https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ighlight=Astro however I do not believe that one can order an Astro Black 2009 Clubman because I believe they have discontinued that color black. http://www.motoringfile.com/2008/03/...lack-for-2009/
P.S. Did you look through the Clubman Flickr pool yet http://www.flickr.com/groups/mini_clubman/... Even if it's not Astro Black, you'll get the idea and be able to see the new color in the showroom.
