Looking to see what we drove before we fell in love with the Mini

2010 vw cc



2008 vw beetle



NOW MY LOVE

 

I'm driving my old trusty 2000 ford escort ZX2 until my mini gets here.

 

2000 Jeep Wrangler SE

 

drove my first mini! haha

 

"Sunny", the 2001 Honda Civic EX Coupe

 

'97 Lincoln Mk VIII.

 

well my 06 r53 was my first, then bought a work truck while i had my r53 then traded both in to get my business really started then my GMC sierra was a POS and GM settled so i bought my current r55 Clubman

 

I was a BMW gal, now nothing but MINI !!

 

1998 Honda Accord

 

1991 + 1992 Volvo 740s (awful cars).

2008 Astra



Only thing I don't like about Mini is the Astra was a much better colour than anything Mini has.

 

2001 Black VW Jetta...she is getting turned in tomorrow.. sniff sniff!

 

'07 M Coupe. The last of the truly sporting BMWs. Pure bliss. And still my first love, sharing garage space with my MCS.

 

Friends ask why did i get a MINI. and i tell them that, to me it's the best car i have driven and it feels good to drive it. so to MINI Drivers

 

My first new car.. 1986 Honda CRX.

It was a great car till the day I test drove a MINI.
Then it was slow, sloppy handling, and no fun.

 

Nice CC what was your suspension set up?

 

My 04 Chrysler Sebring Convertible hits Craig's List as soon as my MCS gets here, most likely mid March (currently enjoying a wonderful Atlantic Cruise). Hopefully we will be in the middle of a nice warm spell and folks will be itching to pick up a good looking convertible.

 

I've been driving a 2004 Honda Accord for 7 years now. A boring, generic, but reliable car. I can't wait to drive an exciting, fun car once my 2011 CM-S arrives!

here were my priors:

 

Oh boy, if I list em all it will be a long list. However the car I drove and traded in for the MINI was a 2008 Honda Accord. Great car, lots of room, and good mileage. But it just didn't have the fun factor that the MINI has.

 

1999 BMW M Roadster.
I occasionally miss the straight-line acceleration and the top-down fun; but the '09 JCW Coupe is just as enjoyable, and has a bit more practicality to it.

 

A 2008 Rav4 v6 AWD Sport, which I really loved... I miss it sometimes, but the MINI is so much more fun.

 

well i used to have a mk3 golf, and a mk4 golf, now driving 05 mcsa

from this


to this




cant wait to mod it a little

 

87 4dr bmw 325es and an 86 325is.... miss them both

 

I purchased the E90 via ED in 2006 and sold it about 6 months ago. I have a 4Runner and am hoping to take delivery of a 2011 Cooper S tomorrow.
I just wish I could have done an European Delivery on the Mini. I'll keep the 4Runner for off the road stuff in northern Arizona and southern Utah.
I've owned a ~1970 Ford Capri , 1975 VW Scirocco, 1987 4WS Honda Prelude, AND a 1960 Series I Sunbeam Alpine .

 

After awhile, driving a car that is getting up in years tends to make you not want to drive too far away from home. Whats going to break next ?

So after the Porsche got to be 32 years old , but still a top running machine
I gave in to my inner voice . . . . . . . . . . . BUY THE MINI YOU FOOL !

I have loved this car since I saw the first "Italian Job" but could not get into driving on the right side of the car. . . . . . . Now that problem is fixed !

I just smile every time I get behind the wheel ! ! !
