Spotted and Photographed!!

Well I was over in England last week for the Yorkshire run and was down south for a few days before it. We were on the way to Legoland on the M4 at about 9am last Thursday when I saw this in my mirror! The trade plate was the giveaway really so I'm screaming to my wife - "Get the camera!!!" She took a few as he came past then I pulled out behind him to get a few more (Sorry if you were driving the X5 I may have cut you up just a little bit.....) Obligingly he pulled in so I could go past and get pictures of the other side then he took off and I decided I didn't need to get any points that day and let him go!!



Missed the suicide door in the pictures

Still disguised but I got a good idea of the sizing and proportions - looks good!





I'd only been in the country 20 hours and I managed to see and photograph one! What are all you locals playing at......

I've seen 2 of these every day on the M4 this week travelling East and West bound. Took a few pics myself although was in the rain. Very dangerous

They do look good. I've noticed they are all left hand drive so must be testing them.

Hi supa, I was just leaving a meeting at the factory and 3 of them rolled into the centre carpark. All taped up front and rear but it gave me a good chance to go up and peer inside. Obviously I couldn't get any pics !! but I was more than impressed with seeing the car for real. Although IMO the DS color is not great on the Clubman with the black roof - very subtle combo.

Dark silver with a silver roof this time, seems an unusual combination but it could work.

What's really sad is that I was more excited about seeing the Clubman as the Kids were about going to Legoland!

I've just seen two Clubmans on my way home this afternoon! One was following me home and was all taped up, the second one I passed as I was nearing home but this one wasn't taped up It was silver and looked really good! It was definitely a Clubman as after it drove past I looked in my mirror and saw the Clubmans rear doors at the back! The guy driving it gave me a flash of his lights and a thumbs up as we passed!! next time I venture out I'm taking my camera!

I saw a Chili Red / Silver roof Cooper on M40 on Tuesday. Couldn't take a picture though as it was coming the other way and I was doing slightly more than 69mph...
