Ages of MINI drivers, don't be shy
I'll be 71 in June, and yes, I was an engineer. I have had 58 cars in my driving life, and my 2011 MCS is the most fun I have had with a car since my modified 83 (original) VW GTI. GREAT LITTLE CAR!!
I am getting my new MINI Countryman (awaiting its delivery) for my 60th birthday, I am trading in my 2006 MINI. my husband is 59, and he also drives a MINI, this is his second one, and its a 2009. His first was a 2002. We are mini maniacs.
I'm 48 and a manufacturing engineer for aircraft parts. I'm a x national level Motorcycle racer ('85 thru '91, the most fun you can have with your clothes on, the mini is the only car that approaches that level of fun).

Turning 21 on June 15th. My first car was an 07 BMW Z4M Coupe when I was around 18-19. I've been hit by a reckless Mustang doing 100MPH or so. The car never drove the same after it's been fixed. Also, the bad feeling was there. I've 7 months ago, I've traded it in for my MCS and the only thing I regret is the RWD and red leather. Certainly don't miss the payments or the insurance for it...
This is my first Mini, but Ive ALWAYS wanted one. Took the plunge 3 months ago at the age of 57. I am a fun happily married (37yrs) Grand Mother of 4, soon to be 5!! Life is GOOD!!
I drive twisty backroads to my PT job, and enjoy every mile!! I try to wash her every weekend. Also trying to learn how to do my own maintenance after the warranty expires. NEVER wanted to do that with any other car

2010 HZB/Clubbie, fairly loaded, much loved
