23 checking in. Turning 24 at the end of November. After receiving a check worth about $5k more than expected from my last car being demolished, I ordered myself a MINI two weeks ago. I told my MA what I wanted to build, and he found an order that was just started and abandoned. I was given the option to take over that. It had the premium package which I didn't originally want, as well the heated seats. I park my car outside, and after thinking for a whole 2 seconds about how many times I've climbed into a <10 degree car over the last 6 years, I said the hell with it. I was able to cut a lot of the MINI line and had a MINI built and ready for transit in about 10 days after giving him the deposit.
21 here, had money from the passing of the previous car, and needed a new one ASAP; spotted a MINI on a lot, thought "that looks cool, I wonder if its an S," looked, indeed it was. Test drove, went home and researched, went back the next day, test drove again, talked the dealer down $4k and went home in my "new" 06 R53. Ive since gone broke modding the car because I can't help myself
I'm 18 almost 19 and I have had my R53 since I turned 16 when my dad decided to turn it over to me when it had 66,000 miles on it. It just now hit 85,000 miles. Not too bad for a daily for a teenager.
