Noticed a few people checking out the Clubman as I was out tooling around
town and running errands. Driving my old Avalanche was like being invisible
around here (there is one at every stoplight).
Was wanting to shine her up and find some place to take some nice pics, but
the clouds threatened rain all day long and the forecast for the next 7 days
is calling for thunderstorms.
I know ... now that I've got a MINI I should get a life too!

What are you doing back online already?

3500 miles and loving it!
I took delivery of mine in early July. I have been on a few business trips and one jaunt to Florida with my wife and the small dog. Great on the road, easy to pack. Lots of room for everything and everyone.
One point of caution..I had my laptop in a cusion case under the back shelf. When I got home, the screen was shattered from a few too many bumps, I suppose. Oh well, that's life. Maybe the sport suspension is too much for it.

scotman, I have had my Clubman since February 21st and not one problem. I recently raced it hard at the MINIS in the Mountains in Colorado and it performed better than I thought it would. Everyone has their own story with their vehicles but I bet most lurkers out there have few if any problems with their Clubbies. Also, wonderful color combination!

This is what happens when a teenager passes you as you turn left into your driveway. I forgot to signal, but I think he was going a bit fast in a residential. Not to mention that it's illegal to pass in one.
To top it off, he's trying to say that he is hurt. Good thing I got pictures of the damage and his skids marks. Kid even lied and said I had pulled off to the right side of the road. Grrr.

He wasn't "injured" then. So no police. He was driving a nissan. Looks like about $2,200 for repairs. The guy at the body shop is going to replace the door and fender. Sheet metal is just pushed in 1/4" - 1/2" inch, but he figures that a new car should have parts replaced. They have to blend the color onto the hood and down the side, so I'll get my stripes replaces (stupid washer fluid stained them anyway).
Everyone is in a hurry; I think he was looking at some papers on his passenger seat. The story to me was that he saw me slowing down and swerved to avoid me. I wish I'd gotten that on tape. He certainly changed it when he talked to the adjuster.

The wait can be tough. I spent way too much time on these forums while waiting for mine. Of course, now I'm waiting again. Mine gets back from the body shop on Monday. A week without it has been a bummer. The honda isn't nearly as much fun to drive, and my wife has been driving the suburban since I have the honda. The one positive is that I finally replaced the stereo that got stolen from the honda a couple months ago. That made the wife very happy.
I can't wait to motor on Monday (of course, I have to wait. what a dumb expression).
I think it must be time for me to go to bed (Midnight PDT).
