32/M. filmmaker. two dogs and two cats. Just got rid of my 2002 Saab. Crazy? I don't think so, because my Cooper S is almost here. My wife has a QX4, so we're all going to have to learn to get along the Mini and the SUV sharing the same garage.

Happy Motoring.

54, M; married, 1 kid, 1 Greyhound. Waiting to order my "S"...

 

52, Male...bought and sold an S after driving it a month....owned orginal cooper in the late 60's for a brief time...guess it was the nostalga, but unfortunately the new S was a dissappointment, I probably was expecting too much, but I'm sure I will revist mini again if there is an engine upgrade down the line because it's hard to deny nostalga...I also owned a 240Z for a brief time in the early 70's so maybe the 350Z will be where I end up......but that sounds like it might be dissappointing as well......cheers

31 /Female

Replacing 95' CIVIC DX Coupe Standard w/ MCS Dark Grey - haven't decided on any other options. I'm on the list at Princeton MINI - Production in DEC. delivery in
MAR 03'.

Actually~ my boyfriend introduced the car to me. When I mentioned that I'm getting the MINI and how excited I was. His remark was "Are you going to break up w/ me when you get the Cooper?

I guess he thought it was such a hot item that I would have all the guys asking me if they could go for a test drive.

Of course ...we just have to wait and see

 

Well, I have had a very enjoyable time reviewing these many, many posts in response to my initial post clear back in April. I think what I have learned here is that our beloved MINI cuts across normal demographic distinctions. I wonder what BMW is making of all this? Will we see a shift in marketing strategy?

Oh, by the way I didn't ever say anything about myself in line with the rest of you. I'm 46 (just), male, caucasian, industrial designer, married, two kids, house, mini-van (2000 Honda Odyssey) and my MINI. Chili Red with white roof/mirrors. June 30. Aftermarket 17" wheels (Limited) with Falken 205/ R17-45s. Last time I bought a car just for me was my '84 Civic-S. Although I shouldn't say just for me, since my wife loves driving this car too and the kids love to ride in it since we go around corners with much more pizazz than the van!

And one last thing, I have formed a new company (Mini-X) which is developing MINI-specific aftermarket audio accessories. A few people here in Denver are aware of this and have had a chance to hear (and be wowed by) the first-generation prototype of our initial product. I hope to be able to make a full announcement on this site fairly soon. And you wondered why I wanted to know about demographics??

 

jimcdenver,
Great thread you started here......
Can't wait to see the final product(s).

Re: " This is my AARP year. . .50! "

Buccaneer,

LOL The AARP was mailing me stuff at 40. They must be in dire need of the baby boomers?

 

Going to be 70 soon, 4 grown children, 4 grandkids and an Irish wife/sweetheart of going on 50 years. 3rd Mini, not to say it'll be the last. LTL YELO. :smile:

34, Male, Married, 1 son and another due in December.

Now, just to give y'all a good laugh: the car my MCS will be replacing is a 2001 KIA Sportage. I just bought it 'cause I got it for a steal and I needed a reliable vehicle at the time.
