I owned a 04 MCS and now I'm on an 08' MCS.

I learned to drive on the 04 and then worked my *** off to scrape together enough to pay for my new one, but i guess all that works makes it so much sweeter.

This is MINI #2 for me. I had an 03 MC, now have an 09 MCS. I'm a po' grad student so although I really would've loved to have kept my first one, it had to be traded. Eventually, I'd like to get a classic MINI as a second car.

I've not noticed this thread before.

My 08 Clubman is my second MINI, and yes I still have the first. It is a 02 DS/W MCS.

My other "baby" is my Estoril Blue 99 M coupe. Nice to see several other M coupe owners on here.

Two other current cars are for sale - 2000 BMW 323it, and 94 BMW 325is. The 325 got me on the BMW and MINI bandwagon.

Previous cars:

90 Integra
84 Dodge Shelby Charger
Chevy Monza
72 Nova
my sister's hand me down Opel Isuzu

Happy Motoring!
