Saw a new beauty red S with silver pillars in Parker, CO. Gave the pretty blond behind the wheel a waive. She seemed pleasantly surprised.

Saw a PW/blk with blk bonnet stripes zooming down the Bay Bridge this morning. No wave from the guy, so I passed him and let him admire my barn doors....

Big Clubman sighting day last Thursday!

I live in a far north burb of Chicago and work in Racine, WI. Last Thursday on the way home from work I spotted FOUR different Clubman heading north.
A PS/B on 94 or 41 around the WI/IL line, a PW/B on Milwaukee/21, an all blue with offset white stripes further south on 21, then a CR/B on 45. No wave backs, but it spotted the blue one at the last minute so may have missed the wave.

On the outer loop today at 6:30pm on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge (Washington DC) spotted a "dark green" with black top (I think it might have been a JCW!)
It had a small wing on the rear and the windows were nicely tinted! Very Nice Looking!
I slowed down to their speed (I was leading the pack so to say) and gave a wave!
Overall a sweet looking ride!

Saw my first Clubman out on the road, besides mine. Not counting the Clubman get-together in Hollywood a couple weeks ago.

It was a PW/B heading up Day Creek Blvd, Rancho Cucamonga, CA. We pulled alongside and gave a wave. Didn't get one back... Just a funny look.

On the way to a doc appointment this morning, got lost and passed a daycare. Saw the back of a PW Clubman peeking out from behind a van. And about the lack of waves, weird thing is only the Clubman drivers wave back at me and all the other MINI owners don't! Haven't the foggiest clue why.

Saw another Clubman today—while driving my Clubman—my first since last fall when I went to VT for Thanksgiving. It's tourist season in Maine, and the Clubman I saw is the same Lightning Blue I saw last July!

Good to see you and your signature photo, elegantmini!

As I posted elsewhere, I saw a PW/BLK MCC the other day and really have to say that I found it very classic and wonderful!

This morning I spied a BRG/Silver MCCS - and have to tell you that it looked really good, too. But I liked the PW/BLK better.

Both spotted in Rye, NY.

Several in NoVA over the weekend

In Herndon, saw a JCW and an S, near Herndon Pkwy and Spring St. No waves - I was behind them, couldn't get their attention.

Finally after all this time of seeing them while driving...I got a chance to snap a photo with my cell phone.

Big thrills!

Yes!

Great shot Otra! I'm feeling lonely here—there must be a few more of us in Maine?

I saw my Clubman twin today out side a Wendy's in Arlington. MCCS Astro Black Silver pillars, but Astro top. Cool. I thought I was the the only Astro like that.

To make it even better I am from Colorado, just visiting Dallas area.

elegantmini,

My folks live in Freeport and I dream of the day that my wife and I could retire up there. My parents have been on the "lookout" for MINIs up there and have a running bet between them. Whoever spots a MINI first gets dinner prepared by the other...all the fixings!

My mom states that there are NO MINIs in Maine....I had to laugh

I saw my first Clubman sighting Wednesday!!!! No not ours... It was exiting the Albuquerque VA Hospital on Wednesday around 9am. Nice green color with silver accents. I have YET to see another and to be honest, I have NEVER seen a Clubman on the road in my lifetime aside from this.

If you see a Horizon Blue Clubman S with roof rails and black trim give a wave or flash your lights! Pretty sure we are the only one's here in Albuquerque with one like that.....dealer stated that it was the only one they have sold!

Happy Motoring!

Hey Mike,
Glad to know the whole family is spotting MINIs! As far as I know, I have the only Clubman, north of Portland, in Maine. I've seen a dozen or so other MINI/Minis in the Boothbay area (I always wave!) and that cheers me but I'd sure like to see more Clubbies around here!

BTW, New Mexico is my other favorite state!

Just saw another one!

But not while driving my Clubman. Beautiful BRG with a black roof. Couldn't tell if it had Maine plates.
