So..... March 07 ordered a lovely Cooper D - specced upto the max and took delivery end of April and had a nice year (well 11 months) of driving . Service number 2 booked for Friday last week..... given that i have done 25000 miles since April 07

Decide to pop into the showroom and have a look whats new.....One thing leads to another......before i know it im out test driving a clubman and then speccing one up...... now im not usually so rash but........ after a lot of negotiating and bargaining....... Signed the dotted line for a Clubman D.!

At this point phone partner ....... who knows what ive done as soon as i say "your going to kill me"

New Spec is

Lightning Blue and Silver

17" web spokes (didnt pay for these as part of the deal)
Internal in Pacific blue and fluid silver
Chilli pack
Bi Xenons
Blue Tooth/USB
Upgrade sound
Vis Pack
Heated jets and mirrors
Heated Seats
Auto air con
Sport Button
multi function steering wheel
Front Spots(£48 as part of bartering)
Reverse sensors (im not good at reversing!)
White Lenses
Dark glass
Anthracite roof lining

Anyway - partner calmed down now....... delivery maybe as soon as end of March - but likely to be 2nd week april. Will find out Monday.

I must say I love the look of the clubman and yours sounds extremely nice!!!

Hope you and your partner enjoy it!

Don't you just hate it when that happens!
Interior sounds great, oh no, just remembered, I'm due at dealers on Thursday!

Great spec!

I took a R50 Cooper in to be serviced last October (first one outside of the TLC) and wasn't thinking about getting a new MINI at all. I was given a R56 MCS courtesy car for the day, and realised that my days in the R50 were suddenly numbered. By the end of November I had a new MCS all for myself!

Thats not long to wait either, and a nice load of goodies cheap and thrown in to.
