I did, but traded it for my current car cuz the kids didn't quite fit in the MINI. Now that the wifey's car is dead, and the Clubman is available, looks like there will be another MINI in our driveway pretty quickly. And, I get to keep the GTO.

'06 PW/PW MCSa Hatchback as well as '08 SS/B MCSa Clubman. My wife and I were always sparring about who would drive the '06 on any particular day and who would take the Chrysler Pacifica. We solved the problem by acquiring the Clubman and selling the Pacifica.

A happy family is a two-Mini family.

I'm not sure what gen mini you are refering to. Have 59 morris mini minor
which I refer to as gen I. Had 03 CR/full union jack roof that I traded in on
05 CR/full uj roof. I classify these as gen II cars. 08 Clubman S is waiting on a boat to get here. I classfiy this as a gen III car. The 59 is red and full
uj roof like the 05.

Our 2003 Chili Red/White Cooper was such an excellent car we couldn't let it out of the family when we ordered the Clubman, so we passed it down to our daughter. And since she lives in another state she was able to get the same HerLBC license plates. With two classic MGs (one with HisLBC plates, of course) and a classic Jaguar sedan, we're a British car family.
