More than 1 MINI/Mini?

I am a Newbie to the MINI/Mini world with the recent arrival of our new MCSC. My wife and I haven't even got 500 miles on "Da MINI" and we are thinking about another one. Possibly a PW/B tin top. I also would love to get and tinker around in an older Mini too. Are we insane?!!

How many NAM viewers own or have owned more than 1 MINI/Mini? And what are they? :smile:

My girlfriend and I always wanted one. She got hers and I was going to keep the Escape for the snowboard trips and Home Depot runs. After a week of driving hers I decided to put my own Mini on order. In about one more month there will be 2 Minis in the garage and no more SUV.

Yep, I got mine and thought that I'd still drive my old car sometimes to save miles. I realized the first day that I'd never drive my old car again, and had the crazy idea that I needed another MINI. As fast as the idea popped in my mind, it was gone, didn't dwell on it. But, a month later, I bought another S.

The second one I bought used with some performance and suspension mods, plus extra wheels. It had 7075 miles on it. Now I have 41000+ on it and 35,000+ on the original new one. That's over 69,000 in 20 months.

Go for it!!

We will soon be a 2 MINI family. My July 02 build MCS and my wife's 05 Chili Red MCS, which is currently showing.............. "On Order" status.


Sorry for the .................. but I had to go check the OL, the status might have changed in the last 15 minutes

Got one for my wife. She wouldn't share (i.e. wouldn't let me drive it all the time ) so had to get my own.

We were a 2 MINI family until recently. Our 02' had a little issue (investigation under way) and we haven't quite decided yet if we will be purchasing a 3rd one or not.......TBD....:smile:
