The other night I told my wife if we won the lottery, I was going to get a BRG MCS to match her R56 BRG Cooper. She had a fit. It looks like she has laid claim to being the only Mini owner in this family. If I'm good, she lets me drive her car occasionally, but that's usually to get her gas (we live in NY on the NY/NJ border and gas is 30 cents cheaper in NJ). Well, looks like I'm stuck in my Subaru. Once again, driving her car is the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel. I'm envious of you two Mini families.

Why is she resistant to you getting one too? Is it because she's got a MC and you'd get the MCS?

I can't imagine her not wanting for you to have as much fun driving as she does. There's just nothing that compares to MINI-dom.

We'll be a 3-MINI family by the end of August. My son will be getting one when he turns 16. We must ensure the continuation of the MINI cult with future generations.

Bring your wife to NAM, and we'll convince her that 2-MINI families rock!

She's just nervous that your S will kick her butt! Imagine twice as much fun!!

I'd even give her the S while I took the Cooper, but I think she's holding it against me that I originally didn't want her to get the car. But after a 12 Mile Program, I have seen the error of my ways, and I have reformed.

1. Just be patient and keep working on her.
2. Bring her to Minis on the Dragon 6.
3. Agree to get a used one older than hers.
4. Tell her you will do anything and mean it.
5. DON'T give up.

Basicly he's saying to pucker up and start kissing some major........ And in the future let this be a lesson to you not to dis something before you try it...

lol...
my parents are both jealous of my mini...(im 16)
my dad has tried every excuse to try to convince my mom to get another Mini...but theyre tryin to save some money so i can go to college in a few years...lol!!!

You're lucky Dad doesn't say that you're on your own, son - I'm getting myself a MINI!

what kind of subaru is it? a wrx?

YEAH! What kind of subaru. i happen to be a fan of subarus

hers my old FXT with a 6 speed swap. sold it to the drummer from Weezer last year.



but i have to say i love my MCS

Just a standard 2005 Outback wagon; non-turbo. Previously had a 1998 that I sold in 2005 w/ 156,000 miles; but had to repalce engine @120k, head gaskets blew (common for 1998-1999 2.5L engines).

The more MINIs the merrier!

HOWEVER, if my husband decided to get a MINI in the exact same color as mine, I would be a little irritated. (Listen, if your wife had a great dress and her best friend went out and bought the exact same dress in the same color, do you think she would be flattered / happy?)

Now go out there and work on her. You're missing out on a lot of great driving!

How about buying her the new one, and you getting the hand-me-down. Then you get to play the martyr. Take her shopping. Find one she not only likes better than the current one, but can't live without.

Personally, I don't get that "same dress" thing. How come the same jeans are okay? But, if it's the color that's the issue, compromise and get another color. I'd rather have a pink paisley MCS than none at all.

MENTAL IMAGE!!! Do NOT want!!!

How about purple, then??

Wow, this guy is a professional or been married a looong time... Just can't kiss ... any better than that!

23 years come June 9

Thanks! Always (try to) keep the wife happy

Of course, she sees right through it. Not stupid! But she appreciates the effort.

Got ya beat..28 years Oct 14....

IF YOU PUT ENOUGH MILES ON HER CAR SHE'S BOUND TO TELL YOU TO GO GET YOUR OWN....

Hey I remember you from nasioc. I used to be a member there, but I got banned for some reason (same screen name over there), I didn't even do anything to justify their actions.

I got a mini too, your purchase really made me look at minis and I liked what I saw. I got a 2005 JCW Cooper S and I couldn't be happier!

Thanks Tom!

,,....Sounds like grounds for a divorce to me... The only problem being the lawyers would end-up with both the cars. Which just goes to show the importance of learning about these things prior to entering into a marriage. Had you performed due dilligence, you would have known how unhappy the situation was to become, that life would be an endless journey in a happless Sabuaru, the MC parked near-by constantly teasing you, begging you to be unfaithful to the rice-burner.
