Many thanks David and you do know that you were very influential in my choice of color.

It was very difficult to decide between the BRG roof and the black one...I could have gone either way.

Off to my birthday dinner - it just happened to coincide with "the delivery".

Can't wait to drive this new MINI farther afield. Many thanks to all for their congrats and support - it means a great deal.

So, I received word today from my MA that my Mini Cooper S Clubman is officially in production. No updates yet on the Owner's Lounge, but hopefully, I'll some info soon. Very exciting!

cheers,
albert

Very exciting!! Now you can decide if you want to obsess over it daily, weekly or just be patient. Eventually you may even have to break down and call 866-ASK-MINI.

osotoc · May 23rd, 2008, 12:25 PM

right now, I'm in the obsessing daily stage

Eventually, I'll get to the patient stage...maybe. The Owner's Lounge is starting to trickle in some info about the Clubbie, slowly but surely.

You will find that the telephone number will give you much more up-to-date information...often it's way ahead of the OL..then once it finishes production, you can start tracking it as it makes its way across the pond.

osotoc · May 24th, 2008, 12:40 PM

Thanks. I'll definitely be making some phone calls

For the life of me, I couldn't find the Sticky about "How to Track Your MINI" but now - thanks to Mr. Big Stuff Shaun, there's a link for it in the next post after this one.

Greetings all:

My BRG/BLK ClubbieS is still in the "on order" status. Hopefully production will begin soon.

I did make one change (thanks to the rising price of gas--about $.020 since I ordered in April).
I swapped out the automatic transmission for a manual + limited slip differential. I know the Mini is pretty good on gas, but I felt that even a few (or more!) MPG improvements was the smart move.

I've gone from happy to glad on my Clubbie

My next update will hopefully be that the Clubbie is (finally) in production.

cheers,
albert

BRG/BLK...Tuscan interior....loaded with everything but navi....LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.....had it now for just over a week. I need to take some pictures of it.....haha I will today!

osotoc · Jun 12th, 2008, 06:00 PM

barbtay:

very cool color combo, plus a very snazzy interior

I thought about the Nav system, but at 2K, if I need one, I'll grab a Tom-Tom or something.

happy motoring!

post some pictures
