I'm 39 today - the real 39, not the 39 I'll be saying for years to come.

24 for a few more months. I'd like to call my Mini a birthday present to myself, but it's a little too far away...

24.

Minis have been running in my family since I was like 12. It was only logical that I get one once I graduated and had a real job.

25. Bought my "new to me" first Mini last summer, and I've loved every minute of it. It still brings a smile to my face, and I was devastated last week before I fixed my little problem. It's a family member now.

Have had a few sports cars over the years (M3, etc), and looking fwd to our new reasonably loaded MCS. Another 3 weeks or so before here. Feel a hell of a lot younger than 69.

I was 56 in January.

When I was 18 I had a '69 Fiat 850 Spider (49 HP!!!)
When I was 28 I had a '74 Mini Innoceti in Germany (1275cc, 2 carbs)
When I was 38 I had a '86 Fiero GT
When I was 48 I had a '79 MG Midget
Now at 56 my '02 Cooper is at least as much fun and far more civilized as any of the earlier "fun" cars. (Sure glad I didn't wait until I turned 58!)

I turned 29 on March 20th, and test drove MINI's for my birthday... Yes, that is actually what I wanted to do!

I picked up my new 2012 MCS last Friday, and am loving it so far. Can't wait to get through this break-in period.
