All I know is that FUN knows no age!

 

23 (purchased when I was 22)

 

25
-First mini 2010 JCW S current.

In the process of modding all I can. The mail man loves walking up my stairs with all my parts.

This vehicle is great and tons of fun to dive. MPG is way better than my previous ride.

 

44 and holding here! Had an 02 MCS and now back to Mini's with my JCW. Love it!

 

I turn 55 this month. 2011 JCW convertible....eclipse gray, black roof and interior.

 

56. My JCW takes me back to my 68 BMW 2002.

 

r53 JCW at 23 and r56 JCW at 25. now im 27 still with the r56

 

Wow, the vastness of age is soo cool, I'm at the prime age of 41 and truly find this mini as a seriously fun and so very capable car that defys logic with great fuel efficiency + huge fun factor, my 2nd choice of cars when looking was the 335d which is equally rewarding and has its own fun factor and may still make it into the stable sooner than later.... What surprises me is my car is similar to mpg as my motorcycle since both get driven faster than suggested, especially when curves are ahead.

I could only dream of such a nice 1st or 2nd car as a Mini Cooper, my 1st car was a 1964 Rambler 3sp on the tree, the quietest idling engine I ever owned that flat 6 was silky smooth, what times we have in our 1st cars, makes me laugh just thinking of those days, not that I'm old like I said, I'm forever a kid, just not collecting speeding tickets as I used to decades ago... And so many cars and motorbikes ago..

 

^Ha. 41 too and living in Sacramento. Maybe I'll see ya around sometime.

 

34! bay area!

 

We may just have to meet up and shoot the breeze over coffee while finding some more roads to enjoy our cars on! and I have a few Awesome roads near Fairfield leading toward the Lake!

 

Well, I've done the drive starting in Winters at the Chevron on 128, left on the 121 then right on the 29 then back on the 128 with my S2000 friends many times - that's a great drive.

 

I'm 51. I've had my 2011 JCW for just over a year now. This is my first MINI, and I bought it last year not long after I turned 50. I wasn't planning to buy a JCW, but when it was still on the lot 3 months after I started looking at MINIs, I made a low but reasonable offer and only had to come up a couple hundred to get the deal.

This is by far the most fun car I have ever had. My two "fun" cars prior to the JCW were an 04 GTO and an 02 S2000. The MINI beats the heck out of both of those cars in almost every way. The S2000 was definitely more fun than the GTO, but it felt a bit claustrophobic and the noise and harshness got old very quickly for an everyday car. The torque and HP were the only fun things about the GTO. It handled OK for a fairly big and heavy car, but it wasn't anything special. Now, after having it for almost 14 months, the JCW still puts a grin on my face every time I drive it.

 

Oh yes very nice, it is a very enjoyable stretch of curvy road for sure, having some nice roads close by does make ownership very enjoyable!

 

51 with my JCW Coupe being 6 weeks old. Sold a 505 AWHP/520 AWTQ VR4 and do not regret it at all. The JCW is a lot more fun to drive.

 

Wow one gentleman said 74!?!

27 here, the JCW being my second mini. I've only owned FWD cars so far but I want to own a RWD as a 2nd car eventually. perhaps a used m3

 

22 with a 2009 JCW. Prior had a 2005 S

 

26

 

66 year old WOMAN here. My other ride is a Mazdaspeed Miata.
Ordering my JCW very soon.

 

A little younger than John Cooper himself.

 

Guess that I am the oldest fart here at 68. My last car was a 2007 Miata MX-5. While the Mazda was a good ride, no comparison to the 2011 Black & Red JCW. Great car, nice performance and great gas mileage which most at my work, won't believe. While upgrades have been few: wheels/tires, turbo insulated shield and a couple of other items, maybe I'll do mods on my 2014 JCW when it comes. No, I'm not afraid of first year models, in years past, did it many times. Oh yes, my other car is a 38 Ford Hemi powered Ford Sedan.

 

i wonder how the average age of JCW owners compares with MINI owners in general? maybe compares very well as the responses here are varied and vast. great to see a community like this that is so diverse.

 

49

 

I can now post to this thread. I'm 49, my wife is a little older.
