Hi..
New to this forum...

Ordered my new Clubman on 28th of April, looking at a June delivery i hope...

Almost 23years to the day since i passed my driving test in a Mini and i should be driving my own new Mini (and my first Mini since i passed my test), i cant wait...!!!

Cooper D Clubaman :

Hot Chocolate with silver roof, mirrors and c-pillars

Cloth/Leather Ray Hot Chocolate interior

Darkened rear windows

sports seats

Leather steering wheel

Colour line cream white

Piano black trim

2 Rear seats

Not the wildest spec, but this will be a working car as i'm a sales rep...

I do fancy fitting the chrome interior trims, but will wait till i have it...

May not be a wild spec, but it's a very nice one.

Welcome!

Hey, welcome to the world of Hot Chocolate clubing

!

Nice spec, I would suggest looking at the chromeline interior now rather than later as it is quite expensive and involved to change once the car is delivered.

I would also look at the sport button option if yah fancy a bit of fun every now and then and also if you can stretch to it Xenons, very expensive IMHO, but if you live in the country where street lighting is minimal well worth it as the original bulbs are quite weak. Wish I'd tick that box

There should be some be some pictures of the interior you have specced in my gallery.

If we didn't love the color we ordered, then we'd be buying Corollas or Gremlins.

MINIUSA.com indicates my Clubman S is expected to be delivered about 5/10.

Saltire, I ordered exactly one month before you.

Only 3 more days for you sishuscker!

Your spec sounds fab, I think.

I wasn't bothered over the Xenon's until I got them and glad I have them as they are faberoo.

Hi...

Had a look at your spec yesterday, nice motor... Where abouts in Aberdeen are you,..?? Was trying to work it out by the pics but was unsure...Thought maybe off Craigton Rd...

Probably seen you about, but you dont take much notice of Minis till you order one...

Me an the kids had a bt of fun the other night driving into town Mini spotting, from Queens Road at the old Egg and Dart to Alex Scott on Schoolhill we spotted 30... Couldn't believe it...!!! Thats in no more than 2 miles...

Saltire,
Let us know how the UK Mini website is for date accuracy.
MINIUSA has a tendency to be off on actual dates by at least four.

It takes about 11 days for the ship to make it to South Carolina and from there, it's likely a rail of 100 miles to the DVCenter.
After that, the cars are trucked to the dealer.
