Next week I shall be taking delivery of new cooper clubman...with the present economic climate it made good sense to take advantage of amazing deals and dispose of our large diesel Rover 75.
I have managed to obtain a Mini clubman cooper with chilli pack,full sports pack,specialized interior,active sports steering wheel,rear sensors ,automatic,for not much more than the price of basic clubman as well as getting excellent trade back on mint 75.My only reason for mention all of this is that if anyone is considering buying a new mini they are 38% down on sales and desperate to sell.

My main question to the Forum is are there any particlar points they I should pay special attention to when carrrying out pre delivery check and test drive?

My knowledge of new minis is scant,except that I love them...I did have a new BMC mini van back in the 60's but there the resemblance finishes.

This might make more sense if I explain I am from the UK as I have only just noticed that most of you guys are from across the pond?

I'm sure your client advisor will run through most of the car's basics anyway. I guess you can make sure that you're getting all the options you ordered, all manuals/documentation, and make sure there's no cosmetic blemishes that need to be addressed before you drive her home. Lastly, have fun!!

And congrats by the way!!! Be sure to post up some photos :) I don't think we have any cooper clubman owners yet.

Make sure the Client Advisor shows you where the Bonnet Latch is...it can be quite tricky to get...especially if you are wearing rings.

Also, ensure that they go over all of the display lights on the Dash...I had a brake Light wear indicator come on that I had no idea what it meant...eventually I found out by asking around on the net.

But MOST of all...Enjoy your new ride...I love the Clubby ;)

Many players mistakenly believe that online games began in 1994 or 1995, Doom and the rise of Warcraft wow gold (http://power4leveling.com/). Most people think that until the Internet boom in 1993 and 1994-1995 the rise of game developers in the computer games begin to add network connectivity, the network gradually revealed the game. But this is not the case, the rise of online games can be traced back to the last century has been the end of 60. In 1969, a Americans PLATO distance learning system for the preparation of a known "space war" game, the game was born in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the first computer game "Space Wars "modeled on two long-range connection can support. It can be said, SpaceWar is all kinds, a wide variety of online games and the embryonic form of the originator.

Hey Caskin -

I just purchased a mini s convertible - ordered it in March and was supposed to take delivery next week. It's still on order - NOT in production yet ....uggghh - and have been told there are production cut backs? Do you know this to be true?
