This is my first R56. My Dad had a 60's Cooper back in the day (Which was a Wednesday by the way.
) which he raced and constantly told me stories of. 
Here's my car lineup...
1984 Celica GTS Hatchback - Sweet!!! Totally 80's but I'd sport one with pride!
1986 Grand Am SE V6 Coupe - POS but kewl looking.
1996 Ranger 3.0 V6 w/ manual 2X4 - Always got stuck in the mud but a guy in a NSX gave me a
when I cornered.
2002 WRX Wagon - An off roading, 145MPH, inconspicuous white wagon.
2005 WRX Wagon - http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ideoid=4893007
2004 R53 - I took over night for a test drive. Not big enough for me at the time. :(
2005 Acura RSX Type S - One of the cleanest and timeless body's out there but didn't handle all that great above 90.
2008 R56m - The 11!!!!!

I am Ferrari Chat (al lot) and have been watching prices....I am surprised at how low some really pristine 360's are. I love the 430 but the 360 is more realistic for me with one kid first year in college and a 10 & 12 year old..
I mostly read.
Now if a great time to buy if you can. You won't regret it. The one thing to keep in mind is that a Ferrari is not like a Mini when it comes to resale. It might take you 6 mos to a year to sell the Ferrari if you decide to move on.
Me too. I'm Mojosan over there as well.

I used to have an '04 MCS, which looked exactly like my current '07! (What can I say, BRG/W is so classy...)

2007 BMW 335i (Hubby's)
1997 Ford F150 extended cab (NOT a 4x4 - also hubby's)

So you really like your Mini's
We do, we really don't like driving any other normal car. Rental cars are the worst, so we've taken to renting MINIs when we can.
