Ooooh, jtc, he was just jealous! Your matte black clubbie is HOT!!! What can I say. I'll be looking for it in Venice or on Sunset, I drive there a lot too.

Spotted a PS/PS MCC with factory roof rails and I have to say that I really liked the body colored roof - with the rails, too.

ps/ps on hwy 67 in eagle, wi heading south this afternoon around 2:10pm. dunno if it was a mcc or mccs. whomever it was waved, but i wasn't paying attention to the other cars on the road until after they passed (it's a goofy intersection...sorta like crossing and converging cow paths that got paved and little yellow pavement markings down the center), so i missed the return wave. didn't even realize it was a clubman until i saw the barn doors in my rearview mirror...

Spotted a MCC PW over PW (mine is PW/Black) on I-10 Northbound (Phoenix) yesterday at 1230pm, waved as I passed as I was traveling a little itty bitty over the speed limit and my windows are tinted and so were theirs couldn't see if they waved back.

Spied a SS/BLK MCC with checkerboard mirror covers yesterday... Not sure what I thought about those covers... That said to each his/her own.

Yay! Got a PICTURE!

Wow, finally got a picture of a Clubman, while driving my Clubman! It's the same Lightning Blue I've mentioned before—luckily the owner is a friendly guy, otherwise I'd be in trouble for stalking! C'mon, aren't more of you coming to Maine this summer so I can see more of these beauties?

I spied a white one yesterday near my home and a Club S today. First I have seen in a month. I love the fact that we all flash our lights are just wave.

Saw a BRG Clubman today parked in Westwood. That's the first time I've seen that color in person. It looked great.

Saw my twin on RTE 116 in Gettysburg and saw a beautiful original baby blue Clubman on 116 as well. Both on Sunday afternoon.
A cool Clubman sighting day!

My wife was taking me to physical therapy this AM around 5:30 and I finished up around 7:30....as we were leaving the VA Medical center headed towards I-25 North, I saw a green Clubbie with silver pillars headed towards the VA hospital in the opposite lane. It had a VA sticker on the back window.

We also saw a TON of Mini's on the way home, Silver S, Convertible Silver Justa, Pepper White S, Red S, Red S with checkered roof pattern.

What a great day for MINI sightings all within 30 minutes of each other!!!!

It will be nice when I can drive her again!!!!

I just saw a Clubbie just like mine (dark silver/black), only with roof rails. It had temporary plates and was being driven by a good looking young guy. This is big news, I live ~4 hr away from a dealership, we don't even have a BMW dealership nearby. We are in the extreme Southeast corner of WA state.
We have a big, active MINI club, though - but I'm the only clubbie.
Now I'll have to learn how to use the camera on my 2 year old phone so I can snap a pic. next time I see it.

Went golfing with my Dad today and we saw a nice Pepper White Clubman S with black stripes on the bonnet at the Culver's in Jackson, WI. I didn't have Pep as my Dad drove, but the second Clubman I've seen at that Culver's.

Two years!? WWOW! I admit I don't care if my phone has a built-in camera but I still learned how to use it right out of the box. Never know if I'll need to use it for anything. I hope you didn't miss any good pics in those two years!
And in other news, I just saw a red Clubman when my parents were driving home from dinner. Ironic that I wasn't in my Clubman when I saw it.

Finally after 11 months I spotted a PW/Black "S" identical to mine in Phoenix yesterday. I pulled up next to him on the 101 but he either didn't hear/see me because he was changing lanes or he ignored me. Oh well I know now for a fact I don't have the only PW/B MCC in Arizona!
