Young people?

Most of the mini owners Ive seen are older than me (im 22), and now im wondering if there is any owner with the same age or younger than me.

When we got the MINI in '02, it was the parents car. I took over driving it earlier this year. I'm 21, almost 22.

You'll find people of all ages driving MINIs. All you need to do is attend a MINI rally or club event, and you are sure to find people in your age range there.

You are right about this there are more older Mini owners than young kids just because the Mini isn't that afforable you know. I am sure if it was 5K less more teenager would be able to get one.
I am 29 so yeah I am OLD!
