Woo hoo! First pict is in my gallery (taken with my crummy phone for now). It rained big time when I left, so I already have to clean it. Translation, better pictures later

I'm an official club member now!

kbleicher, congratulations but - yes, you do need to take more photos! The BRG/BRG combination is really nice ...if I'd seen one in real life, I might well have gone that route, too.

Thanks thanks thanks! I love it! I just posted another pict in my gallery. I already need to clean it; I had rain today and yesterday, so I'll post more once it looks better....

The one titled "First pic" -- aw, look at you trying to be cool and collected about it! You KNOW you just want to jump around, screaming & giggling like a kid!

Ah, yes, kb - welcome to the world of darker colored cars...they do, indeed, show the stuff of life more...but hey, an MINI that's not driven is a very sad MINI indeed.

Honestly, I've washed this MINI more in the first month plus than I have ever washed any other car. Buy yourself some Meguiars Quick Detailer.

So here's a goofy video of me picking up my BRG Clubman last week. Rough edit, so no awards coming our way:

I also put some more pictures of it on my site (again, dirty, but you get the feel):

TerryF,
I saw a picture today at Vista Mini. It really is beautiful. I really like the interior. If you see comeone in a Chili Red/ Black waving and flashing his lights, well, that would be me.
Once again Good Luck and Happy Motoring,

Larry

Hey! I just stumbled across this thread. I just got my VIN in the last day or so. I'm hoping to have my BRG/BLK/BLK JCW by the end of July. Sounds like I'm the only JCW member here so far. OH......this is too exciting! YAHOO!!!!

That's the primary reason I didn't get the Exterior Chrome option.

It's not quite the end of the world for me. I think the positives of the exterior chrome outweigh this negative.

Belt line has Nothing to do with the Chrome pkg...Nasty and cheap is a matter of opinion...I think looks elegant and stylish...

Now that I have it back - dealer had it for 3 days to install roof stripes - I thought I would finally post some pictures.
