OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?
As well as my MINI I also have a 1957 Austin A35. This is the car the A-series engine was designed for and without that that would have been no MINI! 

That pic is how I found it abandoned in 1984 and she is currently in hibernation in a garage.
When she was last on the road she looked a bit like this

Love them both like I've never loved any other vehicle(s).
Just don't make me pick a favorite. They're each the best at what they do....

. Note the bolt pattern, resembles 4x100 - did you keep the compact spare?Tatt
It's 108mm darn the luck...and RWD. Interesting that some wheels for the MINI are also available in 108 and list the XR. It's a fun ride though. Sort of the all-or-nothing thing that they banished with the SC in the MINI. Just when you get the boost on the XR you suddenly are going too fast!
Now that I sold my 02 mini and my 911 conv,I have my 06 checkmate,an 04 Ranger Rover,a 04 Rover discovery and an older Vespa T5 for short rides to starbucks.....and when I rally,my 2004 Subaru WRX group N Rally car.
Those in to the WRC rally,see me on February 18th on the Sandblast Rally in South Carolina. http://sandblastrally.com/2006/index.cfm
