Thanks! Wifey figured it out after spending hours on the configurator-thinger. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it came out stunning. It really pops in the sunlight.

Worse than that. Wifey drank the kool-aid and we are a two MINI family . . .

Here is our new mini as posted in the Official Hot Chocolate Owners Club (traded-in #1 - SG (see pic below)). Love all the new features, and the room!
I remember seeing you guys at MAG on the launch date. First time I got to see a SG up close. The Clubman looks great

John, your garage is the size of my house over here in the UK

Nice combo parked up in there, congrats.

Yeah John's garage is only slightly smaller than my condo in DC too. :-) But I have offstreet parking!

According to my husband the kool-aid is provided by our local MINI club. Every time we go to a meeting he takes a very small sip. I think the flavor is growing on him.

The white one. It's the official "road trip" car now. The yellow one doesn't have cruise, and the boss likes her automatic, so the Clubbie gets to travel and the yellow car goes back and forth to work. Not a bad deal.

Donna - I will clean garages for beach access . . . We need a picture of the two Clubbies together!
