General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
I borrow my husband's 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan to get all my landscaping supplies (plants, topsoil, mulch . . .) and we use it to drive the fam to Disney for vacations because it is tough squeezing luggage for 4 people into the boot of my Clubman. Although it can be jammed in, I can barely get it out!
I did use my MINI for a landscaping run one time, and people stopped and stared because they could not believe I could fit all the plants and mulch in the boot. But now I use the Honda because I would rather not get the boot so dirty.
Wife's 2008 Mazda CX-7 because we need to carry 2 dog to the dog beach and that sand and salt water isn't going in the MINI and I still need a turboed car.
We used to love to go to Dog Beach over at Lover's Key when we lived in Bonita. I just wish the water had been cleaner.
Our Corgi loved Sanibel. She even found a tennis ball, which made her infinitely happy.
1985 Pontiac Fiero V6 - collector plated last year. First car I bought with my own money brand new after graduating from university. Still drive it to show n shines and charity events.
A '09 Mazdaspeed 3. It's my boyfriend's and he lets me drive it. Plus, he has snow tires on it and I haven't bought any for the MINI yet. I've got a longer commute, so on snow days I take the Mazda.
A 2010 Kia Soul SE3 Shadow Dragon, my Husbands Rig. I only drive it when I have to pick him up at the Cart Corral when out shopping, because he parks out in BFE too!!
