i ordered a month after i turned 19 and got it three months later. great car, i just wish i had had it in high school

Man, you can work the dragon into your school schedule? My final exams are RIGHT after the dragon I'm still debating going though

Hopefully its like that where you live....at most of the mini meets i have been to i was consistently teased and excluded for being young....i have started hanging with the BMW groups now becase they are more accepting of my age. :smile:

Hmmm... 16 when I got my 02 MC last year around May or June. Now 17 and will be 18 this year in Nov. I'm one lucky kid!

Yeah me too. Now all the money I use to spend on the "bling" on the truck is being spent on mods for my MCS . Goin faster please's me more then loud speakers and tv's, althought i do plan on putting a touch screen cd/dvd player in my mcs just for a different head unit. But not subs, subs = dead weight to me.

The h/k sound unit is good enough, let alone the engine for music...If it isnt necessary...take it out. Heck, if there was an A/C delete option in the US, I would have done that...(all you have to do is roll the windows down)

we got the S for my dad the christmas of 02, but he almost never drives it, so I like to think its my car , just paying for the gas. He drives the 545 to work because the ride is too harsh in the mini.

it's really cool to see some other people my age around the site. i guess i've always figured everyone was a 30 or 40 something adult. i know everyone on here is a kid at heart anyway

all of a sudden i feel kinda old! i got my MCS just before my 19th birthday, now im 20, and can never stop grinning!

i agree.. i tried other, some of them included in the ricer culture (wrx for one, celica for another), but they are great, just not what i wanted... i sure miss modding japanese cars, but modding a mini has his own quirks... afterall.. im one of the few S driven by young people that has modded in my area...

Yeah, same here.

Beat me i turned 16 nov 04 and got my cooper aug 04

i've been trying to get my dad to subsidize the addition of mods to the S, sayings its only 400 for the 19% etc... You guys have any good directions i should take it. The car is over 2 year old now and only has 8500 miles, so reliability wouldnt be an issue. It is cool to know other kids like this car, alot of my friends think its a chick car, but after a drive through the mountain they quickly change their opinion.

Welcome to the family. I also got my first Mini when I was 17...but that was in 1967. I am on my 3rd now and loving it!

Big Daddy

So, who REALLY owns their car in this thread?
The bank/finance company owns it till you get it paid off. I don't own mine yet.
So who is the youngest OWNER?

36 and it's mine

back in 02 there was a mini bought by a grandfather for his FOUR YEAR OLD grand-daughter!(this told to me by MA, Keith P. at MoP).Cash was paid for the car and it was going into storage for her 16th birthday.I think she wins hands down,wish I knew the particulars. Jock ( 57 years young on April 16)

I own 100% of my car...always have since i was 17 :smile: Yes...i worked hard for all the money(art sales/advertising) and invested it. Every penny is mine including all the mods...well except the floor mats that i got for my birthday

I Would say that If your name isn't on the title then its not theirs, I would be very suprised If a 4yr old has a car in their name, especiallt for insurance purposes. So I don't think that one counts!

If your name is on that title I say you are the youngest so far. I know there are some 16yr olds but I would also be suprised if their name is on the title.

My dad has a '03 MC, he just turned 84. Keep on motoring

Do i get a sticker? I'm not that young anymore...even my cooper is older then most of the cars on this site now

Ok my MINI is completely paid for. I am 17 now got it at 16 but my name isn't on the title but I'm the only one to drive it! Dads name is on the title, but he only drives in once in a blue moon. So does this count cause it is mine but my name isn't on the title?

No

Not an owner ....yet.... its my dads but i lve it , im 13 keep in mind...

I just turned 19 on the 12th of this month... My MINI will be here in April and my name will be on the title... oh and I had to pay for it all myself too!

This is a little past but my daughter got her 03 silk green mini 4 days after her 16th b-day. She ordered it way before hoping it would be here before her bday ( grandfather bought it for her ) but the best part was the day it was ready to be picked up was the same day she took and passed the driving test and became officially licensed. She still has the car and loves it as much as th eday she got it.

Funny part is her car was so much fun I had to have one of my own.
