| Good writing, Paul! You are surely correct about the right side being all wrong for the little semi-door on right hand drive Clubman models. Makes one wonder why they can't have separate body designs for left and right hand drive cars. Comes down to money no doubt. I also read your review of the Cooper S from 2006. I'd run out and buy one based on your review if I didn't already have one.  Last edited by ladhartley; Jan 21st, 2009 at 08:52 PM. Reason: typo |

| Thanks. And I'm sure you're right on the money with the club door decision. Pardon the pun. |

| Switchback is a fairly generic name for a road with a sharp turn or sequence of turns, usually on hillsides, you know, fun ones. For some cool examples see this: switchback road - Google Image Search |

| We have a Switchback near us, its always known by that name with the locals! I have found with the club door that its only good on your driveway or any big parking space, in a normal space there is no room between the front and clubdoor to open it anyway! I wish my clubman just had normal doors, but I guess it gets it into a few more company car lists with its 5 door and 5 seat layout |

| Thanks Paul - good report! Especially as: 1. We collect ours in 4 weeks time 2. It will be in Lightning Blue/Silver, so maybe people will mistake it for a Cooper S!!!! Not here much any more |
