My new MINI has made my commute to work a lot of fun. In addition, the family recently took a little road trip in the MINI and it was a blast. It was even a bit comical to have my four year old about a foot away from me in the back, duffel bags crammed in the back, while the skis were poking between me and my wife. Thank you MINI for helping us build memories that will last a lifetime!

Post your MINI experiences here.

 

Took you long enough Some of us have known this for a long, long time!! I use my convertible as a sort of pick up at times, once I got 15 posts and rails for a split rail fence I was working on in the back of the car! That was fun!

 

Good timing. Your post completely jives with this one I found today:

If you think like your car, you should try drivinig an R53.

 

R50, 52, 53, 55, 56, 57...it's all good. What is your best memory in your MINI? On the track? Road trip? Make something up

 

Trip to Vermont from Kentucky in Oct 02 stayed off the x way as much as possible The MINI was a delight, still pretty much is. But it totally freeked out people back then ,peoples jaws would drop. Of course half of them thought it was a hybrid or electric. MINI's slogan should be MORE SMILES PER MILE.

 

I have a bunch of great memories while I was in a MINI. I get to spend a bunch of time with all sorts of different people in a MINI. But a couple stand out. My friend and I took my 2005 MINI JCW to Dallas for a day at Texas Motorsport Ranch. We loaded up and took off after I got off work it was like 8:00 PM. We were just about to our Hotel at 2:00 AM when a dog came out of no where. (My friend was asleep in the passenger seat) A tried to dodge it to the left but started to get sideways so I figured it was better to just take out the dog. (Poor Dog.... Not really I wanted to hunt down its family for being so stupid and messing up the front of my MINI. SORRY Dog lovers!) You should of seen my friends eyes when I screamed and the BOOM! We were able to drive it home, but it cost me about $1000. out of pocket to fix it myself.
My most memorable test drive..... A really nice looking middle aged lady (Great age for women if you ask me!) came in and wanted to go on a test drive. As soon as she gets in the passenger seat she tell me. Well hot shot you talk am mean game about these cars, and I read all over the place that these little cars can handle. Why dont you show me what this little car can do. I smiled and lit the tires up and took a pretty sharp as fast as I could safely take it. The wheels were perfectly singing when she grabbed me by the shoulder and said "YOU SOB HaHaHaHa that was a blast!) Needless to say had a great time test driving the MINI and ordered a MINI when we got back to the store. I love selling MINI!
My wife has only had her MINI sense October 22nd so no memories in the JCW Clubman yet.

 

Those are funny stories Faron, at least it wasn't a deer!
