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.

Pip is one clean MINI. I noticed your headlights a while back. I like the way you did those. Looks really good. Nice job.

Thanks guys, I super proud of Pip

I still plan on switching to the aero front bumper and lowering springs. I far prefer the R56N rear bumper to the aero one so I'm keeping it.

I'm 25 and I originally wanted a MINI back in 2000 when I spotted a classic MINI.

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

You definitely need to pick one up eventually. If you think you can fall in love with a new MINI, wait till you spend some time with a classic mini.

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.

I'm 21 and have a 09 MCS MB/W 6MT. I used to drive a lancer, hated it. Adopted the mini from my dad. Fell in love. Now looking into a JCW
