How many MINIs have you owned?? What else do you drive??

Hey Folks
How many Mini's have you owned prior to your current one? I have read a lot of people have been multipal owners and even still own their first one. If your Mini is not your daily driver what else is in your garage?

My other cars..
Corvette C6 Twin Turbo
2004 C320 Mercedes Benz
2009 JCW due at the dealer November 3rd 08

I'm on number 4. I've had a '68 and '75 classic (my main rides at the time), an '03 MCS (R.I.P. ) and my current '05 MCS. I really don't think I will drive anything else from now on.

I think Krut would win for who's had the most... I think he's on his 9th since 2002.

The first car I ever bought was my 2003 MCS when I was 23.
Now I'm on my second MINI, a 2006 MCS and can't envision having anything else!

Very cool..I hear that all the time. I have a couple of High horse power cars and after driving the MCS I was hooked. I never gave the Mini much thought only because I like rear wheel drive. My buddy who ownes a Z06 told me before I purchased my JCW that he enjoyed driving the Mini over his Vette....at that point after another drive I was sold....our JCW should be here next week, can't wait

Viola's my first MINI, and she will not be the last, she's my daily driver.

I also occassionally drive a Honda CR-V (my hubby's daily driver) and once a week, I drive my previous car, a Toyota Corolla that I am hanging on to for my son's impending destruction of all public road ways...

I have had two MINI and they still are in my garage...my daughter drives the '03, I drive the '07. I consider myself fortunate that I do not have to drive anything else.

I just sold my 06 MCC and bought a new 08 MCS. I won my MCC in a contest. I had never considered buying a MINI before that lucky strike. Now I'm hooked for life. Like the dude says the first one is free and then you have to pay.

My 2009 MCS is my first MINI and it ties with my BMW 325i ragtop (when it was new).

Sharing the garage:
2006 Honda Pilot - great family vehicle
2002 BMW X5 - nice ride

I've owned.
2000 Toyota 4Runner - versatile vehicle, but horrible on gas
1990 BMW 325i convertible - "The Ultimate Tanning Machine"
1985 Mazda GLC - college car

One of the first 2002 MCs's here in Jax Fl. ( bought it in Atlanta, due to all the mark up stuff that was going on back then!!) All dark silver!!

Then a 2005 MCS that was also a dark silver, the 02 had issues with the airbags..LOL Lost a whooping $400.00 in the trade!!

AHHhhh... finally a Dark all Green 06 MCS!! The final one!! Between the 02 and the 06 I lost a total of $1500.00 between all of them!! Gotta love the resale on these guys... yes??

Other cars?? Why??... OK -OK.. the wife has an 06 BMW330i !! 145 mph and 14.70 Qtr ET @ 94 mph!! And of course I still have Thumper!!

Just me........................................
