50

We got my wife's R50 10 years ago and became an all-MINI couple 7 years ago. Her next will likely be a F56 MCS as well.

 

I do not have a Mini yet, hoping to join you all, but I am 42. One thing that attracts me to this car is it is NOT a bunch of immature kids buying them and making them look like some of the Honda Civics on the road. I used to have a Really Nice GTI, the amount of Rif-Raf it attracted drove me nuts. You do not see that with the Mini, at least I have not, the mods folks do are well done, not overdone.

 

Well I'll celebrate my 36th, 30th birthday in August. My F56 MCS just ticked over from "On Order" to "Scheduled for Production" yesterday. I like the maturity level of folks here and the discussion is great. I'm happy I've joined this particular family.

Black Cooper,Sport Package,Glowing Red color line,satellite radio,6spd MT ordered for my 18yo daughter.
This will be her 2nd MINI and the family's fourth.
I'm 50 waiting for the next JCW.....

 

59, first MINI on order, more than any other reason, needed sensible wanted fun. Age really defined sensible, no kids to haul; MINI defines fun.

Very much agree with this. Before coming here I was on the Scion FR-S forum. It was filled with a lot of 'fan boyz' and controversy. The MINI group really comes on strong as a very mature and sensible group.

 

That's what I like too, really dislike the "civic" crowd.

 

Got the MINI when on my 18th birthday, I love the car and it's my daily driver to school. Currently 19...

 

I lost my dad a many years back he would have been 71 this year, But can you adopt me as I like your style Love it enjoy the Roadster S!





New F56 Coming next week (Deep Blue/Black Roof Cooper). Age 40 well for a few more months I feel young in here now.

 

Going to be hitting the ripe old age of 25 next month!

I've a White-Silver MCS on order, to get here...eventually.

 

I could see that with the FR-S.

One thing to add is maturity has nothing to do with age, go check out the Corvette Forums and you will find that out quickly. Typically maturity comes with age, but not in all cases.

 

I agree. I used to get into so many arguments those "fan boyz" that I finally quit even going to the FRS forum. Mostly correcting their opinions versus facts.

 

Carnut12, you're totally right about the Corvette forum; the C6 owners v. the C7 depositors was a forum war that put to shame the R56/F56 arguments here.

 

Turned 54 March 15th.

 

31 coming up on 32 in July.

 

I'll be 67 in June! Loving my MCS! Love our Audi A4, too, but it is like driving my living room by comparison. Still a great car though.

 

Just turned 51 and just ordered my 2014 Hardtop on Saturday! My Daughter is 18 and learned to drive in her 2009 Clubman.

 

I ordered my R56 in December, 2006, the day after my 56th birthday. I'm 63 now, and planning to order an F56 as soon as our new dealership opens. Hubby will be 71 by the time it's delivered.

I'm active with AMOK (Arkansas MINI Owners Klub), and there's a definite age shift to "mature." My previous club (when I lived in the Houston area) was split between "pre-kids" and "post-kids." There weren't many who had a baby seat in back, at least among hatchback owners.

I might add, gray hair in a MINI does NOT translate to slow on the roads. Just means second youth!

 

22

 

I'm 22 and just ordered my first ever Mini last week. Looking forward to joining the Mini family after growing up with Hondas/Acuras.

 

MiniCon3, welcome! I also grew up with Hondas and Acuras (Prelude, Accord, NSX). This is a totally different type of machine, but I think you'll be pleased with your choice.

 

Thanks Marcussoori! Yeah similar with me (Integra/Prelude/Civic) so I'm excited for the German/British experience. Loved my test drive in the F56 so can't wait till mine arrives!

 

Hmm, I've had a Civic, an Accord, a Prelude, an Accord, wife had an Integra, and I bought another Civic (troublesome). Several other makes mixed in.

Never ever thought of buying a MINI until my wife expressed a real interest in them in February. Visited this forum, learned about the upcoming F56, and now I'll be owning one in about 10 days -- I hope. She now as a Mazda CX-5. In our early 70s.

 

67. Have a White Silver 2010 Camden 50th anniversary edition. Loving my new Michelin Pilot Super
Sport tires! (NON-run flats) size 215/45/17 rides like heaven compared to the "filling-rattlers) Continental run flats. Now all I hear is the nice exhaust note, the wind, or my music. Before was nothing but road noise and twitchy steering wheel.

 

I'm 30 with too long a list of previous cars. Wifey has a '10 Cooper base but I'm going to give her my daily driver (jetta sportwagen tdi) and trade her mini in on a new MCS for myself :D
