1987 Toyota 1/2 ton Pick up with 250,000 miles. I still have the truck and it won't quit running.

When you have a Prius, (the wife's car) and a Mini, you need a truck to haul stuff from HD

I've always had a hatch.

I had a 1984 GTI - Fun car, when it ran. Next was a 1996 BMW 318ti Sport. And now a 2005 JB/JB MCS.

Last vehicle acquired before the two MCSs was, and still is:

1964 International 4x4 stepside pick-up with small V8, 8-1/2 foot bed, and a PTO winch. I'd have to stack em up, but I could carry both MINIs at once in it.

1994 Subaru SVX - RIP, killed by the carelessness of others. Awesome car -- and as much as I love my MCS, I'd still be driving the SVX had it not been totalled...

I had a black 1991 Nissan Sentra RE-R. Modded like my 03 MCS is . Donated the SE-R after 302,000 miles, owned since new. Great car, but it's no MINI.

1970 Datsun 2000 Roadster - a GREAT car. However, it is a significant comfort to know that my Mini will start every morning, not something I could say about the Datsun...
