Woo hoo! Congrats! All I could get away with was a coffee cup and they were reluctant to give that up...

Love this car!
Ended up costing me just under 1k more than my build would have, and my build would not have had Sirius or Performance package or fancy stripes or a whole bunch of other things I truly wanted but couldn't justify. But, I have it all now.
thanks to you all. Without you, I would have blindly paid more, not what they asked for, but I wouldn't have negotiated nearly as hard/smart.
Did I mention I love this car?

So. . .pics?

I live in Wa state - which means in the winter the sun comes up after 8 am and and goes down ~5 pm, and that only is getting worse. I work at a Nat'l Lab, no cameras allowed on site. Which all comes together to no pics until the spring, or the weekend, whichever comes first.
It's also dusty here, so my pretty dark silver car is sorta a dingy gray car already.
I notice no one has posted to the gray owners club thread in awhile. I'll post there when I get a pic or two.
It has given me a chance to find out I really like the xenon lights!

Hope you love the car. I totally dig mine. I see you are a lab rat. I did 6 years at LLNL. Finally got out after the new contract. Definitely in greener pastures now.

Order a Clubman EXACTLY the way you want it.
The 08 is already worth less, since the 09's are out there.
