My other wheels--2006 Harley Davidson XL 1200 Low Sportster:

Lolo Pass on the Idaho/Montana border during my road trip from Boulder, CO, to Seattle, WA, in May 2008. It had just started to snow.


Earlier during the same trip, somewhere near Yellowstone, I think.

Very cool. That was a RARE model in 67 and also in 69 sweet.

Have only seen 2 other's of the same model setup.

Oh and the Mini JCW is nice too

Thanks... Actually the car is original and was built in the first week of December 1966. It is the oldest RS/SS I have ever seen or hear of.

2009 Infiniti EX35 for me! Its a nice switch vehicle for the Mini because you go from fun, responsive, rattly, go kart to powerful, smooth, quiet as a ghost.

A beater 2001 Honda Civic for winter driving. My mom drives it in the summer and keeps it garaged for me.
I absolutely refuse to switch until there is salt on the roads.

I might give in once my warranty is over and make the MINI full time... but for now at least I'd rather not drive my MINI completely out of warranty in 2 years.

We use an "05 legacy(turbo) gt in the snow & when our 6'-3" son is along on a trip. I put thicker sway bars on it after the '07mcs arrived. I also ride a vrscb when I'm in the mood.

The Mini is my daily driver
I do wish I could get a Jeep Wrangler for the winters...
Sometimes I drive my parents cars '98 Jeep Cherokee and '06 Chevy Trailblazer.
My older sister has a '05 Jeep Liberty and I talked my middle sister into buying a '05 Electric Blue Mini Cooper S
