old is very relative, but if you've had a Mini before 20 then enjoy the hell out of it.

conversely, where do you go from the MINI? only so many mods you can do. its a testament to the design of the car, that all ages seem to enjoy the hell out of it

I recently (about a month or so ago) turned 16 and got my first Mini. So far I am enjoying it to no end.

Haha, I wish I had the wiggle room for mods! But between the insurance on the truck and the mini, the mini payments, and the fact I just don't have time for a job during the school year, it's not in the cards.

Got my MINI as a graduation present to myself last June. Not too shabby for having my dream car at 22!

19, turning 20 in June and got my MINI as a graduation present in 2006. Thing is though, I'm going bald (naturally of course) and I can grow a beard which in turn makes me look like I'm in my thirties.

But I could care less, I have the wit to lose my hair and look old and feel damn proud of that.

I'm a soon-to-be mini driver and I'm turning 24 this year

We should form a club Like "under 25 Mini owners UNITE!" but then I'd be out in a year...so...maybe a different name!

Two weeks ago I was driving a Miata with a Trashcan sized exhaust. Although the Trashcan sized exhaust was actually functional and necessary unlike most na civics.
