i'm going to love her and rub her with a diaper. :smile:


i love my car, i could not imagine parting with my friend. i'll just keep her until the end.

 

>>Next year I will probably part with her. I want a 350Z......

I drove a 1981 280ZX for a couple of years. Great car. That inline 6 was a sweet engine. I don't know about the 350Zs, though. They look too much like an Audi TT. Not as distinctive as a MINI, from my point of view. Don't get me wrong about Nissan, though. In addition to the 280, I drove a 1982 Sentra into the ground and own a 1994 Pathfinder.

I intend to be buried in my MINI . . .

 

My MCS is for sale now. I took delivery in late July. Once it's sold I'm sure I'll miss the car it could have been.

 

I never planned to keep MINIMUS more than a few years (I drive 25K miles / year), but the day I brought it home, my 13-year-old sat behind the wheel and said "I'm big enough to drive this now!". So, maybe in 3 years with about 75K miles, I'll be ready to teach her to drive a standard shift in my/her Mini. Funny to think of another generation of kids that will have fond memories of their first car -- "that old beater Mini Cooper" -- to tell their kids about...

 

Well let me see...I had the Chili Red/White four months and now
I'm at three months in the Elec Bl/Wht. I hear rumors about a Cooper
Works version soooo....about that long.

 

>>a great question.....
>>i've never owned a car for more than 2 years.....
>>and as much as i do like this mcs....i know i'll trade her in for something ...new....
>>it's just what i do
>>i promise you...that ...if they make a mcs w/ a legit. 200+hp today....
>>i'll trade my mcs in....tomorrow
>>actually what i would really like is a $40K mcs...
>>yes i'll say it again...a $40K mcs.
>>no plastic, no cheap materials, no inferior quality...parts.....
>>imagine a real brushed aluminum patina interior....
>>imagina a sun roof w/o plastic crap....
>>i would love to see what a $40K mcs would look and drive like....
>>that would be a car....:smile:

>>Please, I mean no offense but stop with the ... all the time. It is gramatically incorect and very irritating. Sorry, but I had to vent. It makes it hard to read and interpret your posts._________________

If it is half as reliable as my old 240SX (11 years and zero problems after 140,000 miles!), hopefully a very, very long time.

I may be shipped off somewhere where it snows 9 months a year. If that is the case, I guess it depends on their resale value and if an AWD Mini is out then.

 

FOREVER!

 

For the stable: I want to add a MINI pickup truck, a MINI Estate (woody)...and if they make a 250+ hp S, I may HAVE to get one of those, too!

Cheers!

I have had my first Cooper S for 22 years and won't ever sell it. I will probably have my 02 MCS that long also, but I hope to drive it more often than the 4000 miles I have put on the 67. :smile:

 

'Til a better car comes along, which may be after I've kicked off!

 

I'm keeping my MINI only until I get my next MINI!

 

just drove the new infinity coupe....damn, what a car, (the seats are to die for after sitting in the crap BMW puts in the mini's) if one more thing goes wrong it's gone, laugh....but probably keep it a least another 6 months.....it's just a toy and there are so many cars and so little time, laugh!

 

Since I can't afford an Infiniti G35 Coupe at the moment, the MCS is a tweener car. I will most likely part with it in 3-4 years. Then I'll see if the finances will support a little bit more car.
