OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?
 
My daily drive is a MCS05. Our second car is an Audi A4 quadro. We had vans and SUV's in our past. The quadro was for the snow. Turns out the MINI is great in the snow and when we go out together we take the MINI. The A4 now has a ski rack.

The MINI is my one and only car. My fiancee drives a Nissan Sentra, and we never swap cars (good for me).

My 2nd vehicle is a UPS brown colored beat up 1980 Ford F100 redneck looking from a mile away pickem up truck. I gotta have something to haul the long stuff in :lol: :lol: :lol:

Right now, it's a 2005 Volvo S40 T5, but it'll be gone shortly after the MCS gets here. The other car which will still be around is a 1998 Volvo V70 Cross Country...

My MINI is the family car since my wifes Z3 doesn't fit her, I and the dog.

I need an old truck like that, Bamatt. My wife sold her truck for the Z3 and we miss it. There is only so much that will fit in a MINI from Home Depot or Lowes. :nod:

Other car is my wife's 1999 528iT BBW Sportwagon. I'm actually in automotive heaven now with these two cars. The wagon is just such a great all around automobile. Sports pack, nav, sports seats and all sorts of other goodies. But now when we go out together its always in the Mini and... I get Chauffeured as it's about the only chance she gets to drive it![FONT=Georgia] [/FONT]

Second vehicle is for off-pavement fun. 94 Explorer Sport, heavily modded. Some places you just can't get to in a MINI.

Once when someone had borrowed my truck I needed just 1 more piece of crown moulding to finish up some work I was doing in my kitchen. Unfortunately I needed a 10' piece. Luckily I have a convertible & I live close to Home Depot. On the way home i don't think the stares were admiring my Mini for once :razz: :razz:

Our second car is our 2004 Kia Sorento. At least untill we can trade it off for a second MINI.
