M-33 White over Red R53 (unmodified, but the minute we locked eyes, she knew the mods were coming)
I suspect the average age of the MINI driver is now (and will continue to be) lower as the price of used MINI's continue to fall into the affordable range of the younger demographic. The appeal is undeniable, and the difference between 30k and 15k opens lots of doors.
