Our other vehicles are
'97 F150 (work truck) and a '01 highlander, I want to get rid of the highlander and get a 2nd mini, but right now, I need the extra seatbelt that the highlander has for carpool, seriously thinking about booting 1 child from the carpool so that won't be a issue next year .

We are a two perswon/four car family.

Wife's daily driver is a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. My daily drivers are a 2004 Chevy Malibu and 1990 Olds Cutlass Ciera. I work for the railroad and drive the Malibu to/from my home terminal (174 miles one way) and use the Olds at my away from home terminal.

The MINI is my daily driver when I'm not working.

Other cars.

Our '05 MCSC is our weekend toy. My daily driver is a '95 Land Rover Range Rover Classic. My wife drives an '02 Land Rover Freelander. Our garage also houses a '76 MG Midget in the initial stages of being reassembled after being torn down for refurbishing.

Covette ZO6, 2004. 6K miles.

I autocross both of them and track the ZO6. I have not tracked the MCS yet. Maybe this summer. It would work on the Shenandoah Circuit at Summit.

Besides Casper (an '04 MINI) there's an '03 MINI, 76 Mini, 75 Mini.
Then there is some big white thing with a really weird name, something like Cheverlay, maybe?
Works pretty good for hauling Mini stuff so we keep it around. Recently added the Elise in sig.

2000 528iT Sportwagon here as well! That is used for "large" Sam's Club run and vacations. "Der Wagn" is a great vehicle, but, the MINI is the preferred around town car.
