Average age of MINI owners?
So, the "What's your second car" thread got me thinking. What is the average age of a MINI owner/driver? A lot of participants of that thread indeed had a second (or even third!) vehicle.

I'm 23 (24 in November).

I'm 35.

Good luck putting together any kind of substantive MINI-owner demographic. From what I've seen, read, and experienced, the passion for MINIs spans all races, genders, orientations, religions, socioeconomic status', educations, regions, professions, and lifestyles.

Our MINI club has members ranging from 18 - 70 years old.

33 here. I've seen lots of the elderly in MINIs and most of the comments from other folks about the car have all been elderly.

If you're in a Mini, you're not elderly... 49

No doubt that it has a broad range, but it should tend towards a a median

I'm just more impressed with the amount of people who are able to own multiple vehicles... one day, just maybe, I'll be there

You're 23, hun. You'll get there. Don't worry. It takes time, hard work, fiscal responsibility, and consistently wise financial decision-making - but if you want it bad enough, it will happen.

That would have required some thought and foresight on my part... there's no poll option for editing the first post

Except of course, getting a divorce which can wipe out all of the above hard work.
