I had an absoultely terrible day at work today. But, when I saw my better half arrive to pick me up (we carpool) in her '11 MCS at 5:00 PM, I couldn't help but smile. We had a great drive home and a wonderful evening. Something really special about that car......

They do spoil you.

We bought our first Mini, a 1960 in 1972 and have never been without one since then. We currently own a 1991 Mini Cooper, a 2002 MINI Cooper and a 2009 MINI Clubman S.

Easiest way to brighten any day is to take a run in any Mini.

Ditto to all of the above. For me, the MINI transformation is most evident when I drive another car/truck. Nothing "feels right" in other vehicles anymore. I can't imagine being as happy in a different car brand as I am with my MINI.

At our house, the "other" car loves the Mini. It never has to do any work anymore. In the past 12 months, the Mercedes has gone 9K miles. The Mini has gone 25K.

We're giving serious consideration to a second Mini. Really.

I so agree with everyone this car is just the best car i have ever had.
The way i talk about it you would think it is my child, everyone thinks i am crazy.
I keep thinking about getting a new mini but i just cant make myself get rid of my 1st one. I keep thinking that i will miss her to much to get a newer one.
