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!

[KPKalle]

Sounds a pretty fair spec to me Welcome to MINI2

[MiniMpi]

Lovely colour combo!
Congrats :-)

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.

Sounds like you're going to have a a beauty.

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

Cheers, I'd actually had a look at your pics before i ordered it.. .:-)

[slshusker]

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.

[ontheroadagain]

Only 3 more days for you sishuscker!

[Mini_Flower]

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.

[Colombo]

The Clubman is a great car, Mine is a month old and clocking up the miles!

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

Woohoo.. Garage just phoned, mine will be here wk comm 19/05... :-)

You will have to let me know how you get on with yours slshusker....

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...

[slshusker]

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.

Haha yeah they are everywhere! I always tend to count how many I see in the city centre car parks, at least 10+ all the time 30 though in the space of a couple miles is insane, they are almost too popular

I am over in Bridge of Don or 'Grandholm'

[Dr. J]

Yeah the miniusa site (well ol.miniusa) is delayed quite a bit - when I picked it up at the dealer, the site still said "en route to VDC"! I actually had a heads up from the shipping company's webasite and sailwx and called my dealer proactively asking about the car.

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

Ahh... Grandholm mills would have been my second guess, thought it looked familiar...

I supplied all the heating systems to that site, did a couple of site visits to the flats when they were being built... I'm over in Peterculter...

[slshusker]

I'm being tortured. I talked to the MA(sales pig) this morning. "Your Clubman is expected in today, Friday and we'll set up a time on Monday or Tuesday for you to come in."

How about Monday!

MiniUSA shows the vehicle at the VDC. Nice delay in system updates. My notes indicate an average 4 day delay.

[s-a-l-t-i-r-e]

The waiting is the worst part.... :-)

Worst part for me is i'm off on holiday on the 21st for a few days, was planned well before i ordered my Mini, so it will be sitting there ready while i'm away... I will probably be the first time i cant wait to get home from a holiday.... :-)
