If you go to the UK site and configure a Clubman when you do the upholstery option, then the interior 360 degree view, as it goes around you see the door on the left of the vehicle. Maybe it is a mistake in the configurator, I don't know. I just checked and thought it may be on the Curbside..

Not really, MINI produces more left-hand drive cars than right-hand. So to reduce costs the right-hand drive models are kept the same as the left-hand drive ones. Sucks, but happens.

Besides, here in the UK, drivers park on both sides street, facing either way, so which side the Club Door is on doesn't really matter

No......the only time she gets out my side is when we are parked at home or in a shopping center parking lot...While parking on the street where there is traffic, I walk around and take her out from the club door...

Here are a couple more for the snow theme. We had about 11" when these pics were taken. When all said and done it snowed for three days and we received 26" of snow.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I am so jealous of that snow. *sigh* My last winter in Boston ('96) we had a blizzard that dumped 22"+ of snow. It rocked.

No significant snow yet in our area this season, but a major ice storm this afternoon, my wife's Clubman (Hottie Chocolate) tackled it well today as we did Christmas errands. I hate ice storms. I would much rather have lots of snow. Our normal 20 minute drive from the store took a hour. We could not get across the Ohio river. Almost all the bridges were closed for a some bit of time and we had to go around till we found a bridge or road that we could get to,and get across the river. We were just glad to get home safe. The was not the case for many.

I had a look at the photos and #5 was the best with #6 a close second. The artistic expression of #5 is great. ( I had seen it in it's original posting, above.)

Done! #5 rules

(and yup, love #6, but technically that's not driving since it's a model, but it's a GREAT shot).
