Oldest MINI drivers?
This is like a copy of the youngest mini driver thread but way cooler.
Who's the oldest here! I see a lot of drivers around 40-50ish.

They also own a '60 Mini 850.

I'm 58 and lovin every minute in my MCS. Just upgraded to a JCW wheel, shifter, and ebrake handle. Can't wait till spring. Very cool ride. As for Stingrays, that's another passion.

Will be 67 in May ... MINI is a great car ... same league as my now retired 2003 Z4 3 liter and 1997 Z3 1.9 liter ... OK, I confess MCS 07 is more fun and a bit more practical and economical ... that's why I have it.

and have three modes of transportation...

My guess is the MINI, with the Cayenne a close second.
I'm 64 and guess which of my three rides I love the most.

63 next month
63 in less than a month. Leave the Buicks and the Oldsmobiles for the others, the Mini and the Grinnall Scorpion keep me happy and feeling young. Regular exercise, a decent diet and a cold ale or two is also part of my personal fitness regimen. Didn't I read somewhere that 4 out of 5 personal trainers recommend the Mini Cooper???

WOW! I am impressed. Was his name Abraham Simpson?
I just posted my "63 next month". I'm gonna shoot for his number! That's incredible.
