I'll turn 64 this May. Isn't it great to at least feel young and still keep up with the youngin's.

35 years old, married, two year old daughter & two dogs and live on a dirt and gravel road! Just bought my first 2006 MCS two weeks ago! I have been out of the car scene a few years since my last VW (4 total). Moved to western PA in 2008 and due to living in the country on on "back roads" i decided to back off on modding cars. The 100+ mile a day drive to work and back didnt help either

Then i decided to do some research and figured out that i can get a supercharged 4 cylinder with great MPG ......and BAM i found my MCS!!

In two weeks i had to adjust the rear camber this past weekend...i will be replacing the front right side front control arm ball joint to pass my inspection and i will need to fix some "electrical issues" as well. But i LOVE IT!! the car runs awesome!

Nice looking car. I see you have the union jack skuttles. Now you need the mirror covers from www.OutMotoring.com
I remember the JFK incident, I was still in junior high so I guess that makes me quite abit older than you..
It's funny, the age bracket for owning Mini's is.....there is none.

I was a Jr. in high school on that November day, 1963. The details that I can still recall from that day surprise me. It was surreal, haunting.

I was a high school senior, sitting in journalism class, when the news about 9/11 broke. I know it hasn't been as long, but I think my generation will be saying the same thing when we are your age.

Don't think of it as "beige". Think of it as "brown, lacking enthusiasm".

My odometer shows 52 but I drive cars like my 2009 MINI JCW and 2002 BMW M3 Convertible so I can forget how old I really am!

64 next month. Oh well. It's one of those things you just can't stop.
I've learned one though, YOU HAVE TO BE TOUGH TO GET OLD.
