Hi to all you Mini folks,
we're new to this fantastic site and just thought we'd say hello and tell you a little about the mini we've ordered.

We visited our dealer 2 weeks ago just to browse,had a chat with a salesman, and came away with a clubman brochure with a view to purchasing one in about 6 months.

Went back last week and like impatient kids in a sweet shop we ordered one , without seeing one 'in the steel'

Old and wise as we are, we went for the diesel option, but we're still young at heart, so we're getting a MELLOW YELLOW clubman, with black roof and mirrors,bonnet stripes,16'' bridge alloys, chilli pack, climate,etc etc

told by the salesman that as we had one of their first four slots, we could expect delivery in early december,but he called yesterday to say that there was a delay, due to a shortage of diesel engines! has any one else heard of this??

couldnt make it to the launch party, as we were on our wayback from Rome, but guess what was the first thing we saw when we got out of the railway termini?? you guessed it, a red/silver clubman cooper s!!

spent a good 15 mins drooling over it,will post photos when i know how!!

cant wait till we get ours, but till then, we can dream.......
