Thursday's the day for me!

Yay! Our Clubman is here, and we're picking him up Thursday night.

UPDATE: We picked up our new Clubman on schedule! See pics at end of thread.

...And so the countdown begins! Here's a preview of what to expect:

The traditional British racing green is one my favorites.
Have fun with your Mini.

Hehe... maybe so! But I just started work at a new job today, so I've got a whole lot of other stuff to keep my mind occupied. The month of vacation up until today, on the other hand, would have been a little easier to take if the car had only arrived a few weeks sooner.

Will do! Managed to narrowly avoid a miscommunication issue with the dealer about the proper mirror caps. I was impressed; they answered my email at 10:00PM last night within fifteen minutes! Here's to hoping all else goes smoothly.

We picked up the clubman last night, didn't get home til late. Took it to work this morning, finally home now, and.. it is raining, so I'll have to wait until Hurricane Daniel clears out before I can post better pictures. Also, the checkered flag mirror caps aren't here yet, so hopefully we get that all sorted out soon. Everything else went flawlessly, thanks to Jim at New Country! Still have less than 100 miles on the odometer.

Your car looks great. Can't wait to see it on person at Limerock. I am over 700 miles and already averaging 30 mpg. I am impressed. My BMW X3 only gets 21.
