Yeah, you're right...that's QUITE the eclectic mix. BTW, I didn't go see HSM3 in case you were wondering

Your Clubman looks awesome! Are you normally in that area (I don't want to specifically say where the movie theater is)? I'm from around there :P Maybe I'll see your Clubman around!

Also, are those white turn signals? I'm considering those because I like the different look it adds.

And one last thing, there's an Astro Black Clubman around that area too... maybe you've seen it?

Jointheclubman, first of all, great name = ) I live on the Peninsula and am generally not in that area of the city. But we happened to be at a restaurant on the same block and I liked the theater back drop.

Thanks for the complements. Yes, those are white lenses. I got them because I didn't want the stock yellow to clash with the red.

Thanks :] And yes, that picture does look very nice with the theater in the background. Kudos on the shot!

Anyway, I hope that I see your Clubman around, cause I imagine it looks even better in person!

My Chili Red Clubman is Home!

Hi

The wait is over. Today I visited the MINI dealer and drove my new MCC home.

It has been a Happy MINI Saturday!

Now I can be considered to be part of of the Chili Red Clubman Owner's Club

Federico

PS: You can see a couple of quick photos at the Week 41 support group. I tried to upload them here for you but since I already uploaded them I got an error message.

That's what I missed! That 'blaat' sound of the turbo wastegate and throttle valve!

Yep, driving is more fun than typing

Sorry! I've gone silent too...

Got my "winters" on (missing my R112s ) and have hit that time of year in the Great White North when it's dark when I go to work, and dark when I come home...

Check out my new Dropbox galleries (links in my sig)! It doesn't have the bells-and-whistles of a Flickr, but I can have as many albums as I want without upgrading to a Flickr Pro account...

Cheers!

Viva la Rouge Chili!
