Youngest Clubman Owners?

[Clubin Man]

Hello everyone! Newbie here... bought an ex demo Clubman Diesel on Sunday! Pick it up tomorrow, all very exciting... Bought a Lightening Blue one, body coloured roof, black pillars, added black sport stripes, bonnet, roof and boot and added black spot lamps (which the dealer can't get until august : ( though)!

However.. the point of the post being... I traded in my baby, a pepper white john cooper works mini (this was my 3 rd mini). All the trimmings, loved it! But back to the point, the forth mini will be picked up tomorrow at 1500hrs! Its 'our' first car, me and fiance have bought our first big purchase (apart from the wedding) being our clubman diesel... the dealer almost laughed (we're on good friend terms now after 4 cars!) and said; "you must be the youngest clubman owners ever"... We're 25 and 23!

So thats the question.. are we (on here that is)?

post your ages and your car please, just interested... thanks everyone!

Hi Clubin Man

If you're the youngest then I'll be the oldest

Dark Silver/Black Cooper S Clubbie aged 58

Mark in Camberley is a bit younger than you I think

In which case I sit somewhere in the middle, also with a Dark Silver/Black Cooper S Clubbie, also in Surrey, aged 36. Picked up yesterday!

you probably could be the youngest to own a clubman.................why did you buy it ??

[Clubin Man]

Because we both love Mini's... this is my forth now. Insurance company wanted 2500 a year to add my fiance on my JCW. So we decided to sell and buy another mini. We're getting married in May and planning a family soon after, if we bought a hatch mini then it would be too small too quick, so more space, same style, same fun! Cheaper to run (diesel) cheaper to tax (35) and they'll insure my fiance for 500! Happy days! My old man also has a clubman (their 3rd mini, after a cooper s, cooper convertible) hot choc...

Love it, pick it up in T-minus 2hrs 57mins!

I've just moved to Guildford from Farnborough and live slap bang in the centre. Went to Slyfield Ind Est to try out the Clubman S! We probably do need to compare notes - I've just sold my Porsche Boxster and wanted something more practical (and that the wife is happy driving), but still fun. The Clubman S fits the bill perfectly!
