I got my MINI when I was 21, I'm 23 now. Most of the young cats are over on the m|u.

19 here, had my MINI for little over a year. Work PT Construction to make ends meet right now; but I've also been actively applying to Full time much better paying jobs so hopefully that will make things easier for me soon, ohh and I'm a full time student. So I generally don't have a ton of time to make it out to events in my area, but I make up for it by spending my spare time on NAM. in my club I think there are 2 that are 20-22 and the rest are 25 and over; when I was in FL I was the only one under 28. It doesn't really matter because we all have MINIs amongst other hobbies in common.

 

I got my car when I was 18, I'm 19 now

 

Wow 290... i pay 150 (im on my brother's) plus 480 on car payments

 

Ahahahhaaaa...GOOD ONE! Day-ummmmmm, I feel like petrified wood. Didn't the dinosaurs just die off last month?

 

I guess I'm a little too old, but I'm 24 and I just bought a MINI. But I have to agree with the earlier comments, the average MINI is well over $20k. Most of my friends can't afford a car for that much unless they are getting some help from their parents so it makes sense that there would be some older owners around here. But overall, I have found MINI owners to be a very diverse group stretching across all demographics.

 

I'm 19, will be 20 shortly. There's quite a few of us kids on here.

Any young people, feel free to hit me up on aim...s/n SwedeSpeed05...im always up for meeting new people with sweet cars...haha

 

I know quite a few cool kids in our age range from Metroplex MINI...based in TX. Are you on there?

 

I am 18 and will be getting my MINI next Saturday. The folks are paying for it, because I got a football scholarship, and dont have to pay for any school

 

I'm 22 now, got my MINI a year ago on 11/15. I think I am the youngest in my local MINI club.

 

So... I bought my MINI at 25 and I'm now 27... so apparently my MINI was my midlife crisis?

 

27? no, you hit your mid-life crisis a LONG time ago my friend...better get started on that will.

 

I noticed you had a Saab. There's a website, swedespeed.com but it's a Volvo enthusiast site

 

Lucky you

 

The wait must be killing you by now. Congrats on the new MINI

 

Now here's the real joy of being "old".... low insurance rates and buy the car outright.... yup. I love being "old"

 

I bought mine when I was 26 (only about 6 weeks ago ha ha), now 27 - I sure don't feel nearly 10 years older than some of you! I only wish the MINI was in existence 9 years ago when my parents very generously bought me a car as a gift after getting a full ride to college. I saved up for four long years for my baby this time around!

 

Yeah I remember that site. I almost bought an S40 T5 back in '05 and I stole the name from the forum...haha.

 

i was 15 when i got mine. i just got it about 6 days ago. the wait for it to come in was killer though! i'll be 16 in 2 1/2 months though.

 

Definitely has a nice ring to it. Check out the C30s from SEMA on the site

 

good one!

 

first mini (mc) at age 17 now at age 20 i traded up to a 05 mcs

 

19 when we got it, 22 now... i know people who got their cars when they were younger.... the mini crowd is so great because of the differences in age and different backgrounds poeple come from!

 

I was 17 when i got it.
Now 18 and with the driver's licence..
Had it for about 2 weeks now

 

Wow i think you are the youngest so far (now im feeling old )
