Good luck with the family. Maybe you will have a MINI some day or maybe you will buy the MINI SUV (or whatever they are going to call that thing).

Good luck. Just to tease you, many MINI owners have kids and have kept their MINIs. I have a 1.5 yo and we use the MINI often. We have a large car for longer trips. I have also tested out having 2 kids in the MINI and it worked great!

If you dont me asking what did you get for it? How many miles did it have. I was wondering how the market for MINI's are right now.

Sad....I think the wife would be missed if it ultimately came down to that decision before me...oh and don't get me wrong, I truly love her with all my heart. (you get to guess here)

i have three kids and just bought a Mini Cooper S. Of course, our other car is a seven passenger 'crossover' behemoth, so this is a fun car for my wife and I, and it's easy to take two kids with us in it should we absolutely have to.

So yeah, it can be done!

Just because you sold the MINI doesn't mean you can't visit us here.

Heck, I don't own one!
