You can now design your own clubman on the UK website.

As well as slow, itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Austrian?German? Not English, anyway ;)

Benzine = Gas (I'm sure you figured that out) Diesel = Diesel

Click "Weiter" = continue.

The rest is what I call Genglish.

So it looks like you can choose between two colors for the trim around the rear doors. Is this painted or plastic? Is is like the black trim around the front windows? I'm hoping it's something that can be waxed and not plastic that will turn gray if wax gets on it.

BTW - PW with black rear trim looks strange

I thought Hot Chocolate Metalic was Cooper Only (NO S)? Yet they just let me spec a Cooper S in HCM? Hmmm. What’s this? No special color for the S only?

Hmm – appears that my Vista 64 and IE7 gives an error (in German?). All I can spot is that it support IE6 on XP. Will have to wait I guess…

I like the pepper white/silver with silver stripes too.

I reckon the pepper white with black on the c pillars looks very cool!

Yes those are the Clubman exclusive 17″ wheels. They should be standard on the US sport package.

They are new wheels – Pace Spokes, 7×17. They look nice, what we can see of them here. Much nicer than the Crown Spokes.

Where’s the white roof?

O.k So take a peak at the Volvo website. (c30 configurator) Now a couple of their colors are hideous but at least they made it out of the 90′s. Mini listen to me I know what I want.

You also can’t do pure silver with silver c pillars either. I love dark silver with the silver roof. That’s what combination I would go with. I really hope MINI will bring silver roof option to the R56. (SOON)

Are those the new wheels that were promised?

Pepper White with silver roof/c-pillars. Yikes. As far as I can tell the only colour combination not allowed is Astro Black+Black.

Would be nice if I could get it to do anything besides crash Firefox on the Mac.

Works fine in Safari 3.0.

I'll have to keep trying.
