Well after a bit of a traumatic start Emmett is here, one day late and heartfelt thanks to the amazing customer service team and mechanics at Soper Mini! Ive taken a photo of the lovely puddle light that shines from the wing mirror-sorry it is half on and half off gravel-distorts it a bit, then there are pics of the inside of the lounge leather-love the little union j buttons and stitching on the rear of the head rests! The details of this car are great-currently struggling to get it to read my usb stick-should the files be in or out of folders and how long should it take gave up with 10gb data on a 32gb stick after 6 mins!?

The Clubby looks very nice will it fit in the garage?

 

[brandonbardsley]

It definitely looks the part, good purchase there! Did I read somewhere you were going to put bonnet stripes on or is that me imagining?

 

[MiniMpi]

Stunning Clubman mate !
Well done.

 

[jeremybingham]

Thank you all; yes should fit in the garage; just ! (yet to try it though!) and yes Brandon, we got bonnet stripes thrown in 'to seal the deal' so to speak but the stripe man is on his hols so they're being fitted the week after next we think! More pictures to follow when it's done and also when the weather is better and in a more scenic environment! Just been into the manual to work out how to open the rear doors contactlessly-i thought it was a wave of the foot but it's more a kick under the bumper!

My car is going in on the 7th for the brakes and I hope I get that Pepper White Clubbie again cause I loved it, the stripes will set it off nicely I think!

Have you got any mods planned? I've seen a few F56 that have had the chrome wrapped or painted Pepper White (i.e. light surrounds, etc) wondered if you had any plans.

Did you get a good trade in price for your F56?

Looks stunning Jeremy, how are you getting on seeing the rear door jams in the mirror?

 

[jeremybingham]

Well you can definitely see the barn door in the mirror;early days but i have to say we like it;if you drive a roadster any rear view is a good rear view! Contactless opening seems very hit or miss though.

Brandon, other than the standard stripes yet to be fitted i don't think we'll modify it; swmbo fell in love in the showroom with its looks as is; she had wanted the jcw version but really liked how this one looked (inc the sun protection glass which does suit it!).

 

[Davyboy]

I soon got used to the barn doors as well, must have as had 3 R55's

Although my very first Mini was a traveller which also had barn doors all those years back

Lovely car, I don't mind admitting I'm more than a little envious ��

Isn't the Lounge Leather lovely and comfy Jeremy, we love ours as it makes the car feel more luxurious!

Hi Jeremy,
Congratulations on the new Clubbie, looks terrific.
I too love the sun protection glass on my F54, looks superb side view.

Regarding recognition of the USB, I had the same issue then solved it via Google and forums.
You MUST format the USB using FAT 32, copy your music then load onto hard drive.
It will then recognise and give you the option to transfer.

Enjoy.

Lovely lovely new motor, definitely one of these or the new Countryman for my wife's next one.

Re: USB issues, my tech support team at work have a few acronyms for these issues..... RTFM - Read The Fcuking Manual (sure you did ) and its a TOTOR issue - Turn Off Turn On Repeat...... as in "I told the engineer to just RTFM to start with but he ended up having to TOTOR it a few times. Started working after that.". One of my guys even has the nickname 'Reboot'.

Technology. Dont you just love it!

 

[Davyboy]

dgswick ask them from me please how do I get into my laptop after forgetting my password!

Windows 7, I've asked a couple of people who just said throw it away, not sure what the acronym is for that but can only guess

Don't you just love IT tech's

 

[dgswick]

yeah, throw it away or reformat from scratch but you loose evrything......

I want Jeremy's Clubby, Pepper White with an expansive Red roof though!

That's the only reason I want to get into it, unsaved photos etc! :crying:

Otherwise I would have as brought a new one

Having owned a R55 JCW and red top F54 is appealing although had fun in a SD recently so Jeremy will love it

wonderful. Highlight of the car so far! Ooh and the mini
puddle lights!

 

[jeremybingham]

Yes lovimg it so far.red roof mmm would be a stunner. Swmbo wanted a jcw which was why really we were in there.

 

[dgswick]

Hopefully the JCW clubby will be back on the configurator soon......

My better half would absolutely love one!

Be prepared to dig deep in your pockets then, nicely spec'd one will be around £40k...
