AW buys a Clubman, the road adventure thread. Tomorrow I join the group of Clubman owners, I pick up my Clubbie in MN at 8 am. Then I can start moaning about it.

Both of them.
The GP went to a nice young man named Felipe, who drove it to PA, back here for AMVIV, then back to PA.
Daisy was sold on Ebay to a 75 year old guy from WI who is into classic cars. As I demo'd features to him, he just kept saying "wow!" Picked it up here and drove it home.

BB, it will be a video blog.
I'll be taking pictures all along the road, and will post them in this forum when I return.

Got a call from Sherry, she was at the dealer at 0800, it took an hour to pick up the car, and she is now headed West.
She was very impressed with the dealership, and is thrilled with the Clubman. She did not say how many cup holders were in the car, but it must be enough. Included in her baggage was a 1 to 4 power outlet adapter, so she could have all of her electronic driving aids working at the same time.
She will be posting as soon as she stops for the night.

Sherry does all the high tech stuff, she lets me change wheels and turn wrenches. I mostly just stand back and admire.

Wasn't fair to Morro to hijack his thread, I split these replies off to our own thread.
I was on the road out of town before 10am and made a bit over 200 miles before I had to stop for sleep.
Gotta say, I love it! The clubbie handles a little differently than the other Coopers we've owned and it doesn't have as much power as the GP
but I'm still very impressed. The seats are a whole new level of comfort, they hold your arse like a baseball in a mitt.
There's plenty of power and my onboard computer says I'm averaging over 40 mpg so far. My average mph is less than 60, I'm taking it easy for break in mileage.
I'll be back to post pics later, after I get some uploaded.

Ah, we only tell the fun stuff and the stuff that works.
That makes it easy to look good.

Golly, your MA is wearing high heels.
What kind of primitive society do they have there?
And I saw the radar detector Missy!
