Im 17 and i drive a 2004 cooper, i also have a 07 cooper but i mostly drive the older one because its all mine, the other one is my dad's
Dont you hate when you are at a stop light and you park next to a big car or like a pickup truck and they start reving their engines... that just gets me mad and when the light turns green they accelerate like crazy bc they think u are just a kid.... stupid people

18, got my '06 R53 when I was 16
I live in Houston, TX
everytime I go to a fun drive or any type of meet, I'm always the youngest there, if there's anyone around here who wants to start a weekly meet or anything send me a pm. I've been thinking about setting up a weekly car meet, open to all car-guys (and gals)

true that.
my girlfriend and I were both 17 and pulled onto the highway. we looked to the left and there was another MCS w/ a couple who were probably 65-70. All 4 of us waved, it was was a pretty funny sight

I'm only 19!
I've wanted a MINI since they came out
because they were just so unlike anything on the road
and as i grew older my love for them grew.
I don't mean to get philosophical, but my MINI
has changed the way I think about automobiles.
My last car was a 1993 Lexus SC300 and
one day I figured that if I actually put my mind to it,
I could have one, and a year later in june 08
I payed cash and have been motoring ever since!
And I couldnt be happier.

lol 19.......

When I was 19:

a gallon of gas was about $1.35 a gallon...

Dinner for two about 20 bucks

ticket to a movie cost about $2.50 each, a bucket of popped corn about 75 cents, and I saw the first Star Wars Movie...


I was earning Mini wage of $2.85 per hour.....

On the up side, because I entered the USCG Reserves at the age of 17, before college - that monthly government check paid my monthly car payment on my brand new first generation VW GTi.......sticker was $8,303.00US.....

I bought my 2003 MCS when I was 23 and it was my first car. Living near public transportation in Boston precluded needing a car for only so long. I'm on my second MINI now and yes at any given MINI event I'm often the youngest. My most recent events have been a track weekend, MINIs on Top charity rally and a fall foliage tour which is probably the reason why I'm closer to the womb than most of the other attendees. If I went to more autocross events it would probably be different. Although I rarely see any teens driving MINIs around Boston.

While we're on the subject of *****, I wanna see somebody put these on their MINIdoMore hitch. Now those would be some fast *****, esp if you have a JCW...
