Just curious!!

How old are the MINI owners of NAM?
Occupation?

I'll start:

27
Electrician and I also saw curb for new driveways (remove top of curb so you dont have to drive over it!)

I am 49 just bought a mini and I am a Executive Chef in North Jersey. Maybe it is a young persons car but I see a lot of older men with them on the road.

I bought my first MINI Cooper when I was 18. I'm now 21, and traded my Cooper in for a JCW last October.

I'm a mechanical designer for a pretty major toy company

, & still in school for Mechanical Engineering.

The ages may be all over the board, but I'm sensing a distinct trend when it comes to occupations.

Definite trend

Although even my MA said they get all kinds of engineers in their dealership (based on the area), I thought he was just talking.

yikes i scared myslef saying that, cant belive its been that long ago! shoot i remember surfing NAM before it was even for the new mini and all they showed was for the classic mini, talk about time flying!

i used to surf the site back in early 2002 bought my mini when they where released then became a member back in december 2002....crazy!
