no worries vaper. you've got something to look forward to. the clubman is every bit the car i anticipated it to be, and more. it's an awesome ride, more stable than my previous Cooper '04. The ride is quite firm on my 17" as the tyres are pretty low profile. But i like a firm ride. And like i said: remember to tell your dealer about the white indicator lights option, like on mine. the yellow ones would stick out like sore thumbs on a PW car in my opinion. Happy times to you
