Oh yeah, post your story on how you bought it aswell.
You have nothing to apologize for in starting your new club. Would you like me to change the thread title to "High School MINI Owners Club (HSMOC)?" I would be happy to do that, to remove any negative stigma by the apology in the title... *hint hint*

There are a lot of high schoolers in my area that drive them. Although, this is the area where mom/pop buy the kids anything.

I get mad/envious every time i see one.

SO is where I live. My friend just got a new STI, and let me tell you, Im a little envyous of the whole "Free car" thing.

Oh btw, it basically gave me whiplash. Those cars haul. And he let me drive it, while I was driving he asked if it handles better than a MINI, and I was proud to say, NO, it handles good though.

See? That's awesome. You've already done more living than a lot of people do in their whole lifetime. Don't even feel bad because your Dad bought you a car. Have fun while you can, and don't ever feel you have to justify your good fortune. As long as you appreciate it, and it sure seems as though you do.

I know, I know, I'm crashing your thread. But I just wanted to say it sure seems like you guys/gals REALLY have your heads on straight. A lot straighter than mine was when I was in HS! And this is the beauty of the MINI - people of ALL ages enjoy this car. Whether you're in High School, retired, or using the MINI as the family car (like I am!).

I wish I had a cooper in High School.

I'm in college - anyone else wanna start a college mini club?

I noticed some just-over HS age ppl and thought they might be interested

lol i am jealous, while i worked through HS, i could only afford a 1987 honda accord coupe. it was really light though. saved up and traded into 04 cooper with only the sport package my senior year. which i work on in the summers between college years, during college it just sits in my dad's garage being lonely (college has good buses around and it means i save on gas money for more mods)

retroactive membership

I am now 53, but my first car was a really whipped 850 Mini that cost 200 dollars.....in 1970 when I was a senior in high school

PS My mother bought it for me :-)

I totally agree... the girls ALWAYS ride with me though. haha

And MINI's are manly cars... we don't have to compensate with size or extra cylinders to make up for anything.
