Finally got my LOVELY Lightning Blue Clubman D - picked it up 3pm today - sadly has a faulty windscreen (a piece of laminate stuck between the layers right in the drivers vision line) and also has a chip in the paint on the pasenger door. So its going back to dealers Tuesday - somehow i dont think i will have it back sorted this week.

Unfortunatly I know all to well about problems on collection!

Hope you get it sorted soon!

Very pretty, indeed, and I love seeing the Clubman Cooper!

I hope you can get everything fixed up quickly.

Lovely car, hope it's fixed quickly.

85NIXMIN · Apr 8th, 2008, 04:56 AM

Very nice

CapriGT · Apr 8th, 2008, 07:12 AM

Looking good, that was exactly the colour/wheel combination I was originally going to go for, very nice. Enjoy!

Lovely looking Clubman, loving the wheels and spots!

Is the bag in the boot the MINI cleaning Kit rucksack? We got it as a freebie with the car so guess you may have done the same!

mister.t · Apr 8th, 2008, 07:47 AM

That's a lovely combo

Many congratulations

Love the pics of the rear doors, I'd never tire of them!!

BU51 BEZ · Apr 8th, 2008, 09:30 AM

nice one sure i have just seen you in Worksop 10.00am, the first one i have seen in our town nice wheel choice, I would have had them myself but we had the showroom model

Thanks for the comments folks. This morning I took the car to Stratstone who touched the paint chip up - not sure if im entirely convinced with the result but will see how it looks in a couple of days. The windscreen has to be fully replaced so its booked in for next Tuesday to get that done.

Today i have driven it properly and got a reel feel for it.
The seats are more comfortable than the lounge leather seats I had in my Cooper D - good really as I did 26000 miles in the 11 months I had that one.

I bought a couple of leads today so that I could extend the USB and Phono connection and hide the Ipod under my car seat - noticed that the Ipod doesnt switch off with the ignition so may have to watch for screen burn on the ipod and battery drain on the car???

Bluetooth to Blackberry pearl is FANTASTIC - loving that

. . .just need to get the armrest insert for blackberry pearl but dont think they do one yet?????

One must add for me is going to be Mudflaps - The back of the car is FILTHY

after a journey down the M1 today. The muck and spray really does cover the back doors making them filthy to open.Does the clubman have a particular mudguard fitting or is it generic??

Boot space was great - made an impulse but in Maplin today which would not have fitted in my cooper D boot - no such problems this time!!!

Im slowly getting used to stop/start - freaked me out a bit but its growing on me.... i just expect the car not to start in time and to have some irate driver going mad behind me......maybe im just judging by my own standards

Feel like im being told off by the gearshift guide - but maybe that will improve my economy and driving style!!! - all in all Day 1 has been a great day!

Yes it was the Mini Cleaning kit - nice really as last year i had to have the BMW one..... Like the Mini one better - more funky looking bag.

ontheroadagain · Apr 8th, 2008, 07:54 PM

I'm afraid all MINIs seem to get filthy in the back. Don't know if mud flaps will solve that problem or not - if they do, I'll be wanting to add them myself. Afraid that I can't answer as to whether they're generic to all MINIs or not. I'm sure there are a number of people on here who do know, so if you don't get any answers on this thread - perhaps search the Exterior and Ice forums?

Enjoy your beautiful Clubman!

Lovely looking Mini, glad your enjoying it, have had ours since Dec and loving it.
