Okay. There should be pics in the gallery now. I don't think the BRG/B photographs very well. The contrast is somewhat lost in pictures. It's also dirty already (I just picked it up at noon yesterday).

Hey, don't be so hard on your photos or that perfect color combination - you've got some nice shots...love the ones with your cute kids.

Check out my gallery or http://flickr.com/photos/otra/sets/72157605268989736/... Lighting (and personal taste) has a lot to do with getting the colors to show up properly and remember the main thing is to see it in real life.

Happy 4th of July!

Thanks. I want to do one with the Clubman in the foreground and the Suburban behind it (hope the green civic doesn't feel left out). The wheelbase of the suburban is almost as long as my Clubman.

Otra, I like the rain shot from above.

Aww, thanks. I keep meaning to take more photos in other places but just haven't gotten around to it.

Please do take that shot and let us know when you post it. I think your Civic will be understanding.

Based on pictures here, and seeing a BRG regular(non clubman) cooper in the metal...i've gone for BRG on my currently non-existant clubman. an '08 matching my option choices was unavailable, and July production was sold out. So I decided to wait for the dealer to get their allocations. I got the phone call last week-Their first '09 has been ordered to my specs. It's supposed to be built in September. Can't wait!!

Congratulations upon getting your order in - you'll be surprised how fast time will go by...then it will slow down once your MINI has hit your shores...until it makes it to your dealer.

Thanks!
My computer may have influenced me slightly..


(that's Lotus' current BRG, "Lotus Racing Green"..a bit lighter than MINI's BRG.)

Clubman BRG on order

My BRG Clubman is built and ready for shipping; it should arrive here in Milwaukee around Sept 1. Thanks to everyone here who posted photos (especially kevin b, otra, jamz, nico, and dave pruk...you all have great taste). I was BRG from day one but appreciated your feedback on all the other choices.

The final cut is MCC BRG/BRG with black pillars, tuscan/wood/cream, bridge spokes with all-season tires, cold weather, 6-speed, and auto AC. Oh and the armrest. Got to have the armrest.

Hi KPWright,

I'm sure you are going to love your BRG Clubby. I really enjoy mine. Here's a recent photo of Izzie with her most recent bling. More bling (checkered roof) coming Thursday.

My BRG/BLK Clubman is in transit from the VDC to the dealer. I should have it next week. The interior is hot chocolate cloth, so does that make me a member of the BRG club AND the HC club?

I will update when I have the car and some good pics.

Your checkered mirrors make all the difference; what a great touch!

Funny, I think I see her in the passenger seat rather than the driver's.

Beautiful pics sTTook and they show off the color combination nicely!

New member of BRG club

Just picked her up today. The dealer was installing wheels and they didn't have time to detail it so I'll give her a shine tomorrow and take them up on their free detail after a long roadtrip.

Here is a cell phone pic and I'll post more when I get some good shots of her.

I'm diggin' them more and more each time I look at them! I've got the
chrome trim line and mirrors, but though that the bright shiny rims would
look out of place on such an otherwise dark background. I think the
chrome trim does enough to make it pop and the darker rims match the
black fenders.

Thanks for the compliments!
