    My 2008 MINI Cooper Clubman

    apparently BMW didn't buy the rights to clubman: "The use of the name "Clubman" for the Mini estate van is a break with classic Mini tradition. It was originally the name given to the 1970s facelift of the Mini which mostly resulted in a squarer front end. The classic Mini estates were named...
