I haven't read this thread for a while, but has anyone been calculating the average age?

(Hey--that was the original title, right?)

BTW, my human babies are 31 and 33; my car baby is 2, and has 33,000 miles on her. I don't want to think how many miles are on ME!

Gee, what an old thread! I see that I responded when I was a bit younger. I'm now 71 and I still drive a MINI. Different one--I ordered a 2015 when they first came out in mid-2014, and it has 60,000 miles on it. I also have a 2002 Boxster now, and have put about 16,000 miles on it in the 3 years I have owned that car. Never too old!

We are 67 and bought the MINI in July as a supplement to our F 150. Also have a 2006 Yamaha Morphous and a 2011 Can Am Spyder RTS.
MINI is an S, though sport mode isn’t used nearly enough. Never too old to have a happy childhood. Oh, forgot about the pop up camper. 2003 Coleman Westlake. In fact, heading for Georgia next week.

Long time member. Joined back in the early 2000's when my parents picked up an IB 2003 MCS and quickly became addicted! Was one of the youngest members back then, and now very deep into my 30's. I'd be curious to see the average age as well; hopefully there's younger people getting into the cars!

I recently picked up my grail car, a GP1 which will hopefully be in my collection for a long time. Not as big of a fan of the newer Mini's, but am very happy with my R53 and will continue to hang out here!

Technically it's my car and I'm 55. My daughter drives it and she's 16 so put us down for 35 1/2.

I always call myself an old man, but I guess I trend young here. I'm going to turn 40 in January.
