...and a motorcycle . I can really relate to this guy, my two preferred weapons of choice as well....... same roads even ...... NOT same wallet though .

Q. "You own all sorts of expensive, exotic cars, but which one is your favorite?"

A. "Well, the car I drive most is a 2003 Mini Cooper S with JCW."
"Today I drove a Porsche 911 GT3, but generally I use the Mini, and I ride a lot of motorcycles...."

That's awesome. It's nice to know that the MINI is a tremendous equalizer - everybody, rich or poor, just loves to drive it.

 

+1 for the MINI Cooper. I wonder how many are stored in his 3 story car building.

 

I think the better question is how many more COULD he store?.

First things in my garage when I make Gajillions:

-Pagani Zonda Roadster in blue with whiskey interior
-Hamann Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, 3x black
-Hamann BMW M5 3x Black
-96 Dodge Viper GTS, blue w. white stripes.
-My MINI right now
-Triple black M6
-Triple black Murcielago roadster with tints and polished lips on the wheels and smoked tails too

All come with relatively cheap insurance and are very very slow...

 

I have a customer who is an inventor and hold patents to some incredible products he owns a 06ferrari, lambo and a 06MCS cabrio. He said he enjoys driving the mini alot.

 

Witnessed this first hand: Took my MCS to a local park with my road bike on the roof, had a ni-ice 45 mile bike ride, and when I return there's a (no foolin') Porsche GT3 parked next to the Mini. Pearl white, nickel plated roll cage, no-nonsense race modifications, a really sweet ride. The owner, Jack (road race instructor and local distance runner, running club guy) and I got into a 20 minute conversation about how much fun Minis are to drive. "...even more fun than 'that'..." he said, pointing over his shoulder at this pristine, pearl white 6-digit racing Porsche GT3!

"That" indeed!

Now... if I had a GT3, or any car worth as much as a decent small family home, I think I'd refer to it as "Your Highness", or "My Leige...", or Sir, Yes, Sir!", or some other form of Honor.

To be referred to offhandedly as "That" ...and in comparison to a British car 1/2 it's size and 1/6th its cost - and a Mini to boot! Well.. knowing Porsches, the GT3 wreaked its revenge somehow...

 

I wonder if Leno has a Mini?
