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.

Also regularly switch cars with my rooomate...2007 M5 and 2006 Range Rover :-). He'd rather the MINI than his cars lol
Previously: 2005 R53 Dark Silver/White
2002 Audi A4 3.0

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!
