got my first Mini back in March 2003. Pure silver over black Mini Cooper. Purchased from Nick Alexander Mini. then ordered myself a 2005 Pepper White over black MCS from Classic Mini in Ohio (no markup) and had it shipped here to California. was delivered on Sept. 2004. Now hoping to get back into a Clubman S in the next couple of months... (hopefully )

 

Got my first one in 2003 but it was a 2004 - CVT - that was Indi Blue. Still love that first MINI the most...but better not say that too loud.

 

Got my first one 28-Feb-2009.

 

Sorry been at a company conference in Cincy... I traded the MINI for an Avalon. At the time I wanted the new Camry but my wife and I talked about the Avalon and we traded for that. It was a great car for long trips but the suspension was comical at best. Going through a turn, the car would roll and sway so much that it felt like we were porpoising. But it was a luxury car and not a sports car.

 

Ordered May 2, 2008- arrived June 25, 2008

 

Like alot of you; way back in 2002 and yes, that one is still in my garage too!

IB/W MCS - now it has the Clubman to go along with it.

 

Got my first MCS in 5/03, got the 2nd MCS 11/04 and the 3rd MCS 3/06.......

 

Bought my first two MINI's in 2009. The only 2 I have owned. It was a good choice.

I bought my first new
Austin Mini in 1969.
Dark blue with a white roof.
I had a tough childhood.

 

My first MINI was a Velvet Red R50 delivered in Jan 2003. Second MINI was an Electric Blue R53 delivered in Feb 2005. Third and current MINI is a 2007 Oxygen Blue R56 delivered in Oct 2007. Next will be a 2009 Midnight Black R57 JCW in the coming months.

 

December 2003, an 04 MCS in BRG. I do still miss it, but the Clubman is its own kind of fun. The MCS had endless wheel bearing issues.
