R55 Clubman sightings... while driving your Clubman!

Hooray! I work across from the Farmer's Market on Third and Fairfax! If you see a hot chocolate and silver clubman parked at the Fairfax end of the lot, that's me!

It will be awhile before we see one in our area. We are the first in Northern Kentucky to have one ,and the second in the whole state of Kentucky to the best our dealer's knowledge. Their are no dealers in Kentucky. The only ones we have seen are at the Cincinnati, Ohio dealer. But, a few have been sold locally in Cincinnati, so I am sure we will see one soon. We have only had ours two days, and everyone does double take looks when they see it drive by.

Cloud10, I mean nut, I mean pest, I'm in the same boat with you. Now around 1,700 miles and no other Minis to wave at and still, no first wave. It seems I only see other Minis when I'm in my wife's or my work vehicle. Also, Cloud10, it is possible I may be motoring around Madera Canyon and/or the Sonoran Desert Museum later this week so you may see me.

Hang in there. With gas going up and up it seems we should be seeing a lot more MINIs.

Though I was not driving my Clubman, because it is en route across the deep blue seas, I saw for the first time in the NY metro area - on The Boston Post Rd, heading from Mamaroneck to points north - what I thought was a lovely LB MC...with sort of a silverish roof... We waved, flashed...and then in the rear view I saw those iconic barn doors: it was my Clubman sighting! (Not anywhere near a dealer either!)

A few nights ago I saw one parked in front of a restaurant along Rt 9, west of Boston. It was the popular Blue/Silver, but I saw it at the last minute and really couldn't tell which blue.
None on the road yet except within 1 mile of the dealership which were peeps taking test drives.
I did see my first Dealer newspaper ad for Clubmans in Columbus, Oh in last Sunday's Dispatch. Perhaps not selling as fast in the heartland as on the coasts.

Alas, don't have my Clubbie yet, but I've seen two others here in Austin.
The first was about four weeks ago, parked outside a mall. Regular Clubman, AB/S. Not sure I'm the biggest fan of that color combo on the car. The Astro Black has its issues, and combined with the silver I think it ended up accentuating the roof and making it look bigger than it should.
The second was a HC/S Clubman I saw driving home from my morning writing session on Saturday. I like the color combo, but at a quick glance it seems the Hot Choc. has the same problem as my Royal Grey. It shows dirt/dust very quickly, and when it does it loses a measure of it's dazzle.

yay!
This morning on my way to school going west on 101 I saw one zip by me, it had NJ plates and was a hot chocolate/silver. I was talking to my BF on my way to school and was saying outloud ooo yay a clubman! Finally I got to see one! My BF was like what? Hahaha. He doesn't care for Mini's too much. But hopefully someday I shall get to own a mini I hope.

My fiance and I are noticing Minis a lot more than we used while driving around town but we're not seeing any other Clubmans!
Copywrites: All I know is that it wasn't us down on rt.9
We've been too busy motoring Rt.2 and to parts of Maine.
Break-in will finally be done this weekend!
Huzzah!

I've had my PW/S Clubman since last Thursday, and today I saw a LiB/S Clubman S on the freeway. Merged in his field of view, was sure he could see me, but the bum wouldn't return my wave, or even look. I could have been pushier, but that's not me. Safety first!
MINI's have been sprouting all over town in the last few weeks, but this was my first Clubman spotting.

I finally passed another Clubman while drving mine last Thursday. Was on Rt. 176 in Libertyville and was a HC/S like mine, but wiht bonnet stripes. Happened so qucik not sure if there was a wave or not. I think it is the HC/S Clubman S that I had seen at Knauz awaiting delviery a couple weeks after I ordered mine.
