Brand new 2011 Mini Cooper S Convertible here.

Amusing little story:

When we drove into our condo complex a few days ago (with the top down, of course), one of the neighborhood kids (age 10-11ish) yelled out to his friends, "Wow -- they have a Mini Cooper!!".

Had a small gaggle of kids follow us to our driveway.

Our new car has gotten a pretty big thumbs-up from the adults on our street, but it has gotten a *huge* thumbs-up from their kids.

Bold prediction: If the Mini Cooper folks execute properly, they will capture a really big chunk of the "next generation" market-share...

 

I've noticed an unusual amount of interest from kids when driving around, too.

It makes me wonder if a MINI showed up strategically in some video game or something like that to plant the seed in the kids' minds of how cool our cars are....

C ya,
Dutch

 

So I was just telling my girlfriend about the "trend" of MINI drivers who are Engineers and she says, "..maybe only engineers go on forums"

 

She must watch Big Bang Theory. That was funny!

She makes a fair point... we engineers are probably predisposed to nerding out about our cars.
