My F56 is my daily driver. The R52 is away for the winter (I guess it's the "official" 2nd car).
The other side of the garage is currently occupied by a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum. It holds stuff comfortably and the kids like it...though not as much as the MINIs.

Well, selling my DD Subie as my Clubman has taken over those duties. My weekend 'toy' is an '86 SVO Mustang. For those who aren't familiar with them, it was Ford's attempt at a 'new' kind of power plant to combat rising fuel prices and actually target the 3-series Bimmers of the day...hence a $5K price premium over the 5.0L. Needless to say, they failed their marketing experiment and only lasted from 84-86, but they succeeded in proving out what some tweaked handling, upgraded brakes and a turbo 4-cylinder could actually do...just 20-30 years ahead of the times and an early precursor to today's EcoBoost engines.

Here are a few pics of it (yes, I do have 'fun' with it):

I only have my mini, but my wife has a Boxster in the summer and a Toyota Sienna in the winter (she hates winter).
