My 2004 Cooper S is still my favorite car and the best car I have ever owned. No matter how many cars I look at, I have not found a car I like better than my MINI. The Cooper still gets a lot of attention everywhere we go and I am still happy to talk her up.

Still passionate about my MINI...

 

That is awesome!!!! Owning a MINI has reset my entire outlook on owning/driving a car can be.

 

Yep, coming up on three years of MINI ownership and I'm still a crazed MINIac. Still doing mods, too... completed another minor just yesterday and have a major scheduled for MOTD.

Still hoping MINI does a style change before I'm ready for my next new MINI but even if they don't, my next car will be another MINI.

I still L O V E these little cars.

 

Yep. We traded in my MINI on 3/3 and regretted it so much that we're buying another, less than 2 weeks later. Can you say obsessed? I never thought I'd feel this way about a car otherwise I'd have never sold it.

We won't be able to dine out often like we usually do, but I'll be a MINI driver again!

 

I agree! I have an older '02 MCS dinan S2 and it never fails to put a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. There may be faster cars out there but not more fun to drive cars than the MINI...

 

My Cooper will be 6 years old next month, has 105k miles on it, has some minor mods done to it, has never failed me, probably saved my life once, and still looks great IMO, and goes like a scared rabbit. My mods/maintenance, are now focused on getting at least another fun 100k miles out of him

5 years in May... and I still go out to the garage just to stare at him! I can't believe it

 

Yep just keeps getting better and better!!!!

yay =) i havent had mine long but i still love it!

 

ditto man. we love our 06 MCS. the MINI is an awesome car. hands down!

 

Same here. 2006 Mini cooper and still love it!

The car still gets a lot of attention and I still look forward to driving it! Last car I had was a 2000 Honda Accord and I was tired of it after 1 year.

 

Frank from Toledo... would you ever want to get some pics of the cars in some good locations? I have the chili red all tinted up that runs around town. I think your talking about Toledo Ohio right? If you want to PM me and ill give you a call I think were doing a photo shoot tonight with a MK4 VW a yellow M3 and white r32 and a couple others maybe... Shoot me a message\

I've owned 2 and possibly on to my 3rd soon. I've driven MANY other cars as well but no car ever makes me feel the same way this one does. Something about them just makes you feel special

 

2 years old next month and loving it more with every mile. By far the most attached I have ever been to a car. There isn't anything else like it ...it oozes character inside and out ....it even sounds cool.

 

I'm coming up to 7 years owning mine. I'm here now to rekindle the love affair as I'm considering trading it for a Lancia. Talk me out of it!

 

If you really like evaluating your personality by making Rorschach tests (inkblot tests) out of oil stains on your driveway/parking spot and really like the smell of leather get an Italian sedan.
Honestly I have no experience with Lancias (besides drooling over a Delta Integrale in Germany once) so I can't say anything bad about them, but it sure won't be a MINI for driving experience.

 

That's the car I'm thinking of. There are a couple of Evo II Delta Integrales for sale here in Toronto, which is kinda crazy as they were never imported to North America. 4WD, 250hp, 6 time WRC champion, all with four doors and a trunk. It sure is tempting. I hear you about the oil leaks and know all about them. My other toys are a vintage Ferrari and an Austin-Healey.

 

Oh snap, then F the MINI lol.
Seriously though if you can afford a vintage Ferrari, an Austin-Healey and have a MINI as a DD are you sure you can't keep the MINI and still get the Lancia? Gotta love Canada's 15 year import laws.
If you don't buy the Delta Integrale pass the details on it on to me, I have a friend up in Toronto who has a thing for boosted AWD rally cars.

 

6 years with our Mini. Love it.

 

I know of a guy who recently traded in his MINI on a "faster" Honda (what the hell?) because his MCS wasn't as fast as his friend's modded '02 MCS.

That alone told me he's not a real Motorer. Honda? His loss.

I absolutely love my '05 MINI... coming up on my four year anniversary and EVERY day is a joy.

 

I think MINIs suck.




Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm just kidding.
2.5 years. 50,500 miles, over $10K in mods and accessories, and still obsessed.
