I've had a couple of Clubman sightings, but mostly fleeting. My dealer has sold two in my area.

Friday I had the BEST Clubman/Clubman sighting... I was driving on GA 400 at 2:45 PM, heading north and I spied a SS/S Clubman up ahead two lanes to the right. I sped up and got into the lane next to her. As I matched her speed I looked over at the driver and then had to look back at the road, but noticed she looked over at me at that moment. I looked back and wildly waved while smiling my biggest smile... and she did exactly the same at exactly the same time! We then both laughed. I moved on ahead because she was going too slow for Bianca, who loves the fast lanes! (oh, it's not MY fault officer, my car just won't slow down!)

 

I sighted a clubman yesterday in Whitefield, NH. It may be someone local because my husband saw it a week before. Color looked like silver and black. Glad to see there's another Clubman up in Northern NH!

 

Saw a CR/B Clubman headed north on 295 in Portland yesterday.

 

First, before you jump me on my usage, I got corrected sometime back that it is one Clubman, two Clubmans, not Clubmen, but that's a discussion for another thread...

Delayed post: Saw two Clubmans on Friday the 19th both headed north on Interstate 85 a little north of Buford. One was a Chili Red/Black/Black roof, the other was a Chili Red/Black, CR roof. I wasn't looking fast enough to determine if they were justas or S-models.

 

No one is going to jump on you for properly stating the plural for of Clubman.

 

On the way back north today, I'm pretty sure I saw the same CR/B w/black roof. Nobody want to take credit?

 

Hola!
I will tell you my request of Clubman Viewing or sightings..

There are no Clubmans in this Aera where i live , only US Soldiers drive them, i*m pretty the only one in my Area with Clubman, so lonely....
But Unique ! And people are amazed when they see meand Cremi.

I think the german Clubman is too expensive for the People.
I would love too buy an US Spec @Military Sales but i have to be in the Nato or somethin else, they are much cheaper!

R56 Cooper US Version 11000€

Well... in the German MINI Forum www.mini2.info, there are 40 Clubmans located.

I see lots of SIXT Clubmans or MINI Coopers, they are nice too..

Greetings and

Frohe Weihnachten

 

For a town of about 17,000 that's about an hour from the closer dealer in NC, two hours from the other, I keep seeing Clubbies. This time it was a PW/B/PWroof justa. Dealer tag, with stickers and plate frame from a local non-MINI dealer. I'm thinking family member of the dealer? Saw it tonight at Broad River Coffee.

 

FINALLY, I saw a Clubman while in my Clubman, two days ago in Scottsdale, Az, and to make it perfect it was a PW over black, identical to mine. And I thought mine was the only one in existence!!!!!!

 

Saw another one but got past it too quickly to ID color or exact model; it was on the *** Road ramp off southbound I-85 in Gastonia, NC today at about 6:30.

 

I saw Dogtor's in the Shaw's Saco parking lot yesterday.

 

Sighted TODAY (Jan 2nd)!
I was headed to Annapolis at 10:30am on the Highspeed Thru-way (aka Hwy 50), and came up on a NEW (paper plate still on) Blue Clubman (I am an electric blue, his was lighter - color?). No stripes, he was an "S", and had several people in the car. I waved, and passed so that he/she could see the DCMetro sticker. First Blue I have seen (discounting mine).

 

His must have been Laser Blue. Congrats on your sighting!

 

Saw another one today - Crofton shopping area near the Chick-fil-A. It was a dark silver with black top. The guy did NOT wave back, and I was turning in right at him...he looked, snoop - not sure. NEW owners are not hip to the wave, I wave all the time (at all MINI's) and recently NO wave backs, beginning to feel a little silly! My wife says, "Why do you wave?" I tell here it is the polite thing to do to recognize one another!

 

I was thinking the same thing, new to Mini and since there not a lot out there, at least compared to Camrys/Accords you would think there would be more Mini drivers waving to one another, like mrmagoo I always wave and so far one has returned it. oh well.

 

I had another sighting today! A nice PW/Black Clubman in Mount Pleasant. I was driving down Hwy 17, and they were driving towards me over on the access road. I waved, but I don't think they saw me...not surprising!

 

Saw a lovely pepper white Clubman parked in front of the Booth Library in Newtown, CT after returning some books on Saturday. I haven't seen it around town so it is either new or has been hiding! Any one want to claim ownership?

 

I saw this beauty in the Safeway parking lot on Thursday in Longmont. It's the fourth one I've seen out here, which is really something when you consider there's only one dealership in Colorado and it's almost an hour away.

Sadly, after test driving an Audi A4, a BMW 328xi, an Acura TL, an Infiniti G37x and a Clubbie over the last few months, I just today took delivery on the G37x. But the Clubbie was a close #2! And I've helped get my twin brother in Spokane totally into Clubbies--he's sure to get one in the spring, so can I still hang out around here? I love Clubbies, I just don't drive one. Maybe one day. . .

 

Is that a ZUG ball I spy on the antenna??

What was the difference in price between the comparably equipped Clubman and the Infinity?

 

I have a Zug Ball on my Clubman. Got it from the dealer, along with a Vinyl decal I'm going to use for a little while (until I can decide on some other Youification).



I spotted a Hot Chocolate/Black Clubman the other day. I kept waving and waving, but i don't think they were paying attention.

 

It is, indeed, a ZUG ball. The owner was delighted with her Clubbie and was happy to find me photographing it.

As to the price difference between a comparably equipped Clubbie and a G37x (AWD), it's very difficult to determine because the cars are very different. Of course you know that. The Clubman is the most tossable and blast-of-a-car there is, and it's available with good levels of luxury and security features, too. The G37x is also a blast of a car to drive (0-60mph in 5 seconds!), and is stuffed with security (AWD), luxury and refined beauty everywhere you look or touch. They're both wonderful. My daughters were very disappointed that we weren't getting the Clubman (they test drove it with me and my wife) until they saw the G37 and rode in it. They're glad we've chosen the Infiniti, but, like me, they're still big fans of the Clubman.

The Clubbie I was considering would probably have run about $31,500 (before tax), and the G37x I got was about $39,000. That's a lot of $$, so we gave it a lot of thought before making our decision. We're very happy, and still have this sort of love affair with the Clubman, which my brother will likely get in spring.

 

I've got a ZUG on my Clubman and a ZIG on my Cooper.

 

Saw this looker today.

 

Saw a beautiful dark silver/black clubman on a truck headed up I-26 last week...coming from the port, maybe? Also saw a Hot Chocolate Clubman this week.

 

Spotted a red over black MCC in Gilbert, AZ close to Higley and Elliott, I've seen it twice now, and I thought I had the only Clubman in the area!!!
