Just turned 20 a few months ago, my first vehicle (a pickup) I bought when I was 15 from my uncle, and last August he decided he'd buy me a MINI to use through college. Not sure why he wanted to, but I wasn't going to question it! I love my MINI! Only catch was I had to give over the title to my truck, and he'd cover the MINI. Couldn't pass it up!

Nice, that's awesome! I bought my 2010 MINI in full, as well, right off the lot. It was a very exciting time. I have spent almost $5k in modifications in a year. (Yikes, haven't added it all up until now...) But I think I am finished for now- but that's what I've said about 5 times now.

Hi guys, don't know if I posted on this thread before.. I have bad memory

I'm 18 and drive a 2005 PW R50; wish I had an S.. but this will do. I currently reside in CSUSB in SoCal/IE so if anyone's nearby let me know! So far I've only seen professors drive Minis in campus.

I guess I'm not terribly young, compared to the people who have posted before me. Almost 26, and have had my 2003 MINI Cooper since March. Hubby recently turned 29 and got his 2004 MINI in February

I'd definitely have to say we are probably the youngest people in our local club (who doesn't seem to like us for some reason...lol).

As an old guy (52) just browsing around the thread, I would like to see the MINIs the younger crowd own. In my last two years of being around MINI owners, I have found that no matter how many generations are representing MINI owners, we are all one big family, young and not so young alike.





This is the last ride I had when I competed against the young crowd.

1993 Honda Accord Coupe

Love your Mini!
