General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
I'm 21, paid cash for my '07 MCS 10 months ago. These threads always inevitably become about money. Everyone is always shocked that people under 25 have cars in the Mini price range. As for me, between having continuous employment for the last 7 years (while in school) and taking my time to find a good deal (shopped around for 5 months) it wasn't that much of a stretch for me.
20 here bought my mini after high school had to sell my 66' corvair that me an my dad restored. I'ma buy another classic car an fix it up after i get my degree, but answer is theirs plenty young mini enthusiasts out their
elpappy I like how your mini is sitting nice and low in your sig, we have the same color except I have chili red/white... your mini gives me an idea of how low it'll sit with the stock S-winders and Mach V springs...
SPUNKY: It sits really low! My Gallery has some high rez pics of it. You can't roll a soda can under the front of my car in some places. Once you accept that your going to be scraping that $20 piece of plastic on almost every driveway it's really not that bad. Its how the R56 should have looked from the factory. If you need any more info feel free!

The Mach V springs are great, but after 6 months with them I am ready for something lower, I'll probably be getting myself coilovers for christmas.
