It’s new MINI day! Well, new MINI Clubman day to be precise.
Upon arriving at Knauz MINI to take delivery, my new Pepper White & Black Clubman was sitting on the showroom floor, looking fantastic, with a SOLD placard under the driver’s side wiper.
Back in 2003, when I purchased my first MINI, it seemed to take hours to sign all the necessary paperwork. Thankfully, we had been pre-appoved for everything, so the paperwork only took 15-20 minutes to complete. Jason, my Motoring Advisor, took another 20 minutes to show me the ins and outs of my new MINI, most of which I was already familiar.
Rolling off the dealer lot, she has 7 miles on the odometer…one less mile than my 2003 MINI and when I drove her of the dealer lot. I only hope this Clubman is at least half as good a car as my R53 had been.
So without further adieu…here are a few photos of my new Clubman, sitting in the driveway at home…
Naturally, I already have a list of things I want to do to her, bouncing around my head…an NM Engineering turbo heat shield, OEM MINI mud flaps, shorty antenna, glove box organizer, JCW blacked out grille trim, blacked out headlight trim, window tint…to name a few.
