R55 Clubman sightings... while driving your Clubman!
#151
Just had our first sighting while driving. I've only seen one before yesterday in the Twin Cities area, and it was a PW right outside my building. Anyways, we were on Interstate 80 going west near Lyman, WY(yes, middle of nowhere) when, to our amazement, a BRG/S Clubbie went by in the opposite direction. I was rather amazed that our first sighting had the exact same color combo - what are the odds? Very cool.

While I won't be ordering a Clubman until this fall, my family and I totally have the bug. One of my daughters and I saw this HCC parked out front of a middle school here in Longmont, Colorado, on May 15. We were dazzled! It was brand-spanking new, with the manuals and some paper work lying on one of the seats. (FYI, it was purchased from the only MINI dealer in the state, Ralph Schomp.)
Other than the two we've test driven, it's the only one we've seen.

I have actually seen a few while driving in and around the Boston area, But yesterday i got the shock of my life when another Clubbie drove right past my house in North Central Mass some 70 miles west of Boston. I was hoping to be the only one in my area. The thing that really shocked me was the color. It was Hot Chocolate and Silver pillars/roof, they really do not look as good as mine though with the black pillars and the HC roof. I will have to track her down.

Saw another one -- Blue (not sure which one) with Silver. It was heading north on NJ Route 17, maybe on it's way to Prestige Mini.
Prestige Mini has a Clubman in the show room and 3 or 4 out front. Never seen one in the showroom anywhere or so many on hand at once.
It's a growing trend (hopefully). I like that; makes more after-market parts more likely.

I had seen a LiB/B S around the corner the other day. I think it also passed me on the freeway last week (before I picked mine up). I drove by yesterday so it could be an official sighting, but it wasn't there. Tried again today, and it was. Even took a picture. Hope they don't think I'm stalking them.
When I saw it on the freeway last week, it was folling a LiB Cooper S. That looked cool. I'd love to go on a run with a bunch of other MINIs some time.

Driving north on 684 in Westchester County NY heading on to 84 East towards Danbury - a MCC PW/BLK overtook me - another woman driver gave me a thumbs up and I followed her until she got off at exit 1. I will say that the color combination looked great in real life...made me miss my 2nd MINI.

I've been driving my Clubman since February 18 and had only my second Clubman sighting while driving it. Clubman S, British Racing Green with Silver, from Concord, NC, to Charlotte, NC, on the morning commute. It has been surprising how few I've seen, given that we are privileged to have a dealer in town. Got the morning off to a good start!

Heading to the Smokies in a few minutes. We have lots of fun in those mountains.....especially since I've discovered my sport button.

Up here in Buffalo, I've only seen 1 other Clubman, and I see it every day Co-Worker of mine owns one (silver Clubman), only one I've ever seen up here! She reported a sighting of another Clubman in the area, though I've yet to see any others (and believe me, I've been looking). Should be taking delivery on mine sometime during the last week in July (Clubman S, Chili Red, Blk trim, Blk bonnet stripes) and I couldn't be more excited.

OMG--saw my first Clubbie in the wild today! Technically not while driving my Clubman (about half way through my four (?) month wait) but it got me excited about the car all over again. I live in a mid-coast Maine tourist town so figured I'd have to see one from out of state this summer, and sure enough it had MA plates. S, Lightning Blue, Silver roof and C-pillars, crown spoke wheels. Woohoo!!
