You know, when my kids (grown with children) found out that I bought a MINI, they thought I was nuts. In part because maybe they associate this car with the younger folks (ages 25-40?). Then I realized that it seems most of the folks I've met here who have ordered an F56 MINI are older than that.

Out of curiosity, if you ordered or have a MINI Hardtop (base or S), what is your age. If you care to hide your age, just post if you're over or under 50.

Me? I was 65 in December. And I see me and my little darling getting along very well. In no way do I see myself too old for my MINI S, or it being "too young" for me.

 

Hi Bob ...

Middle of 2014 I am Happy to report if I am still (Above-Ground) to be "69".



T.

 

I just turned 60 on March 11.

 

Awesome, my fellow MINI brethren!

 

Mid 30's.

 

I'm 56, inherited the car from my Dad when he passed 3 years ago. He was 70 when he bought it. It's an R53 with less than 30k on the clock, it's my weekend toy. I think he would have enjoyed the mod's I've done, it was bone stock when I got it. I've put all the miles on it except the first 6k, he never really got to enjoy it.

 

I've got all of you beat; I have two 36-year olds inside my body.

 

Same here as of 3/11. Just sold my GSX R-1000 and decided I needed another wheeled toy.

 

65 going on 24

 

I don't know this for sure but I will probably win the trophy. My wife and I bought our base Hardtop two months ago after trying one out for the first time. I'm 79 and she's 75.

 

just turned 33 in february

58 years young.

 

A month ago I would have been surprised at the ages here. Not now. And here I thought that at 65 I would be in the minority. So neat that so many of us are over the age of 50 years young. I wish we all (including those younger than 50, of course) lived in the same state because it would be a blast to meet up and share our rides and stories.

I guess it shows that the MINI is a car that appeals to young and old alike.

 

I hope that too many of us geezers won't hurt the MINI image too badly.

 

Hopefully 25+ years from now I'll still have your 'ol geezer' spirits! Next month I'll be 38.

 

im 35 and traded a sensible 10 civic for my beautiful 07 mini cooper s.

 

I'll be 24 in August

 

We know what we want!

 

55. Sold my 2007 redesign and been sad ever since. Thinking about the new S.

 

Isn't that the truth, Susan.

 

I was in my early twenties when I ordered my first Mini, a R53 MCS. I'm in my early thirties now, and just ordered my second, a F56 Cooper S. Can't wait! And I'm glad to know the Mini appeals to all age groups.

 

72 with roadster S
Would not have it any other way

 

67

 

I am 32 but most people would say I am already 52 lol
