Some of you may remember I swapped my Clubman for a Cooper D Hatch in September I think I knew the day I collected the car I had made a mistake!

Missed everything about the Clubman so after a long search I found a cherished one at the right price and got a good deal travelled 3hrs to collect her on Friday

Very very happy again :D

Very good, did you miss the extra space?

Yeh did'nt think I would but Ive got a Miniture Schnauzer that I take to work and missed the boot for him a lot, sick of climbing in & out with the dog harness!

My parents hated being in the back of the hatch with no leg room but like the Clubman so lots of reasons really but glad to be back in the Clubman :)

Nice. :)

The Clubman does make a significant difference I think in terms of practical space.

Welcome back to the Clubbie world :D

Great looking Clubbie :biggrin:

Gorgeous Clubbie. Very shiny.

Thats the result of a few hours in the garage with a bottle of wax :)

Yep, whilst every review of the clubman points out that "the addition of 9.4 inches of length and one rear-access door does not make this as practical as a conventional hatch" (read Ford Focus), I think they're missing the point.

What it does is mean that someone who needs that bit extra than a hatch can offer can still have a Mini (and NOT a Focus!) and enjoy driving something a bit quirkier.

Mini estates - loved the originals, love the Clubbie! :smile:

the addition of 9.4 inches of length
:laugh8kb: WOW no wonder i love mine so much :biggrin:

:rolleyes: Size isn't everything now is it?! :p









Is it? :o

Is it? :o

Of course it is :wink0st:
If theres a standard 'one' and one with 50% extra free which one would you choose? The bigger one of course.
Size is always important, just more so in some things than others :biggrin:

;) exactly, more inches = enjoyment ;)

:nice::biggrin:
