Where in Pa? Are you a member of C3M? If not, check us out at www.meetup.com, Central Maryland Mini Motorists. We do some great runs, have some wonderful members and, of course, Minis! We will be running the Poker Run at 2012 MOTD. I plan on attending it for the first time!

Would be interesting to see the distribution curve of ages of the MINI owners.

Yea, I know, but this 17yr old is exceptional. SHE is in an orchestra and a VERY high achiever. I was behind her on her first Mini run and she was incredible! She's a credit to the Mini community! Proud to know her. She will be attending 2012 MOTD! she totally gets it...

Would be easy to spreadsheet it up and plot it. There are over 1,000 replies to this thread after all (and if I didn't already say how old I am in this thread...I'm 27).

I teach high school statistics and I would DEFINITELY use that in class! I think I already said my age as well but in case I haven't, 23.

Some statistics on this would be very cool, but the thread spans something like 7 years of time. So I'd think most of it to be outdated. The demographic might have changed after the introduction of the 2nd gen cars and whatnot. People could also have sold off old cars that they used to own back in 2004.

Anyway, it would be fascinating.

It would be interesting to see. My guess is that the curve is skewed above 40.

I'm just 67 this month and will continue to drive my 2005 mini convertable S as long as the DMV allows.
