Admittedly they were in the dealerships underground garage, but atleast I got to see them before the release!

Yes, I saw a Cooper Clubman in Hot Chocolate yesterday in the dealers basement garage (Sorry, no pics)

Interesting colour. Not my taste though. I think I'll stick with Chilli Red/Black.

rellik666 · Mar 5th, 2008, 07:26 PM

Yeah I saw a Hot Choc / Silver clubman on the road, it looked really nice.

I hope there is one there tonight, I will get pictures, Hopefully! I can't wait! YAY

Meanwhile...

In the state of Wait Awhile
the Clubman will now not be unveiled until after the official launch which will be held on the 15th March

85NIXMIN · Mar 6th, 2008, 10:20 AM

Hehehe I like how you put it... in the state of "Wait Awhile"

Some pics of the Clubman in the Canberra thread.

Had good fun at the clubman launch in brisbane last night. I was impressed with it too. It looks good. I can say we definitely would have bought it if there was a door on both sides! It's still not ideal for young kids though. Maybe when the kids get older or they put an extra door on.

rellik666 · Mar 6th, 2008, 08:35 PM

I had a great time too! Fell out through the club door! So maybe not that practicle for adults!

Great car though, certainly has no handling issues!

Pom Down Under · Mar 6th, 2008, 09:30 PM

True about the handling....it would be interesting to see the state of the tyres this morning!
I had no bother getting out of the back through the clubdoor, perhaps because I adopted a Cleese-esque Ministry of Silly Walks way of stretching my right leg right out of the car before I hauled my arse out!

Snapper>///"> · Mar 7th, 2008, 11:21 AM

JohnyG, Mei-Ling, Richard and I had the pleasure of test driving one Silver/Silver Auto Clubman today thanks to Canterbury Mini. It was surprisingly a good drive. The pick up of the car with four people in it was great. The braking was terrific - sorry to my back seat passengers-hehehe.
Then after we returned it back to Canterbury, we went to Trivett Parramatta for the launch with ClubMINI and had as a guest the driver of number 18 Timmothy Poulton, who after todays practices sits at position seven.
Great day and great night and here are my pics. http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o...view=slideshow

Oh, and congrats to Mrs CJJ on winning the lucky prize of seeing the Mini Challenge at Eastern Creek in the Corporate Tent.

85NIXMIN · Mar 8th, 2008, 12:12 AM

Nice pics!

gok4rt · Mar 8th, 2008, 09:08 PM

Hi Gang,
I went to clubMania yesterday afternoon...apparently I was infected with "normality". Its worth getting infected just for the cure. The cure is going for a ride in the new Clubman at break neck speed. I think I sat upright for about 15sec, the rest of the several minutes was spent lurched forward then back again or being flung from left to right.

Docklands clubMania pics below.

Wizzzz · Mar 8th, 2008, 10:22 PM

Sounds fun. I'll be going later today.
(Posting this on my new iPhone)

gok4rt · Mar 9th, 2008, 01:07 AM

A couple more pics from clubMania.

Wizzzz · Mar 9th, 2008, 06:09 AM

It was good fun. I am now cured (or so I'm told).

Did anyone else go?
