20 years old. Put in an order for a MC Camden and will be mine late May. I've worked tirelessly for about 4 years. And finally, my dream came true.

hell yeah!

21 next month and I got my '04 MCS back in March! Took quite a bit of saving. Such a fun and economical car, so very worth it. But I have a lot of stuff to fix on her yet. The previous owner didn't love her like I do.

Hey!

No hate to the more mature drivers on these forums but I was wondering the same thing as far as the age of the average MINI driver. Just a couple weeks ago I was blessed (knock on wood ) with a 2009 MINI Cooper and I feel so happy that I got my dream car at a younger age. Although this didn't come easy as I bought my previous car used and had it for four years before really considering a different car after I found a new job. BTW I'm 22 and loving the MINI experience....now I just have to work on the customization part of my car

I'm 19 and will hopefully be getting a Mini here soon!

I worked my butt off as well. Working 3 jobs..40 hours a week, going to college full time. Been working since I was 12. I have a junker now and am ready for a new car, LOL.

See my 2003 Mini Cooper thread if you're curious. =]

24 years old here, worked full time, saved the money got my Oxyblu MC on my bday last year. i would not trade him for any car, not even a bugatti. imma die and be buried when i die with him (no you can't have him).

Oh and he is being financed and i'm still paying him out every month, and working full time to pay him, while part time student (hard but oh well). The MA and PA bank of America offered to pay for him, but i said no. This is a test for the future when i actually have a house to pay anf other large expences.

23 and loving my MINI!!! Seems everyone around here is either (A) old guy rocking the sideburns hoping that a mini will get him attention or (B) lonely lady librarian type that has no care about the car other than it's (the dreaded word) cute. That says alot coming from someone who borderlines on "girly girl" status =) Ne ways, more props to our younger crowd for rockin a kick *** car, and especially the ones in college, working, and making a car payment...kudos. It sucks, I've been there, but it will be worth it in the end and no one can ever say you had it handed to you.

i absolutely hate when people say my car is cute, haha its totally not what i was goin for when i bought it, but i still love it. These kids earlier this week pulled up in a stock lancer with an idiodic sounding exhaust and called me *** at every light we caught, i just smiled because he had a dude in his front seat and i had my girlfriend with me in mine. and im the ***?? haha

Well Ryan, don't be a f*g, and next time roll down the window and tell them:

"i got my hot girl with me and you have your boyfriend, so whos the f*g? F*g! Now give him a kiss and btw your exhaust sounds like your small d**k got stuck your exhaust, when your boy was getting you from behind on the truck of that cheezy looking car."

Then peel out quick when the light turns green, & be like deuces!!!

Whoa....so much hostility!!!!! Gay, straight, bi, everyone is welcome in the MINI community!! (lmfao)
I totally agree!! I seriousaly had a nervous breakdown this week and was going to go a killing spree to the next a**hole that called my car gay. I was like really, you just gotta kick me where it hurts =(
Everyone's "issue" here is...they don't even pay for their cars, and most not for the modification parts. Plus, if it's not a domestic vehicle *read Mustang or F-Body* your worthless anyway. I guess that's part of the midwest/redneck/whatever we got going on but aaaaggggghhhhh =)
Much better!

And I quote one of my girlfriends' comments about the topic,
"Only because a mini cooper wasn't in the Fast and Furious movies, other people think doing stuff to them is gay." If that's your qualifications...I'll wear my rainbow with pride!
