God, I'm 23 and I feel outright elderly now.

I put my order in for my '09 MCS a month ago. It's just a matter of time now.

So true. My dads first car was a mini, he thought it was a good idea to pass along the tradition. Lets see if they bring out a newer mini in 30 years time for my kids

24 going on 25....but I like that this car brings together such a diverse group of people as far as age and interests. Most Mini drivers are pretty cool people.

I'm 19 with a newly acquired '05 MCS. I feel quite spoiled, even though I'm bleeding money just to keep the thing .

I've sort of come to this magical period in life were I really don't have any expenses because it's pretty much all paid for in tuition, and yet I earn relatively good money because I'm not a "warm body" high-school student. Even then it's a stretch, but so far it's been worth it!

Hell, we had a kid out here in the car club that bought (and paid for by himself!) a brand new Audi RS-4. That's more than 4x what my MINI cost me !
