I'm the only one with a Mini as far as I know, but my dad has an LR3 and some older, more distant relatives might have a jag or two. My dad almost traded in his LR3 for a Countryman after driving my MCS though!

In my family, I am the only one who owns a Mini. But if we are going into extended families, I am not. Hubby drives one too, as well as his cousin's ex (who we are all still friends with).

In my immediate family, I am the only one who drives a MINI. My 3 sisters all have Nissans, and my brother has a Ford. At one point, all of us kids had Nissans

If we are going into extended family, hubby has one as well His cousin's ex-gf has one too. We are all still good friends though

Yup, only one in entire family and wife's family too, but they all love it. Even my Dad is coming around and he's a muscle car man! My mother-in-law actually now always asks me to pick her up at the airport in Cary because she adores him so much! Lone wolf? I say (continued) trend setter!

Another lone wolf here. Don’t think my dad would be caught dead in my MINI - he has a Dodge Dually for work and 2 Mustangs that he takes to local car shows (’65 Convertible and a ’68 Shelby GT 500).

My brother has owned a BMW (wants a new Camaro) and he’s currently restoring my grandfather’s ’61 Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite. The way I see it, my grandfather and I had a much better appreciation for a car handling well. The jury’s still out, but my brother may be seeing the light.

Since my entire extended family is comprised of exactly 8 people, I can say for sure that none of them drive a Mini; two of them don't even own cars.

I also seem to be the only one in my area to have a Mini. I see another one on the road maybe once a month.
