United-States Will you be keeping your Mini?

I own two Mini's (his- 02 Red/Red MCS JCW 210, her's 05 Mini Cooper also Red/Red) and right now I really don't see ever getting rid of my S. I love to drive the car, the Cooper will become my daughters when she goes off to college in a couple of years. I could see staying in the BMW family with a purchase when that happens but I will still keep the S. With the $$ I have put into the S I might as well keep it since I would never come close to getting it back anyways.

I can't imagine selling my June 2004 MC. And I can't imagine driving anything else but a MINI. Since I've owned one I've driven nothing but MINIs. Going so far as to always rent one when on holiday

As I bought it, my MCS was almost perfect. After modding 8000 euro's on it, it is nearly perfect.I have got some more mods in mind, then it's perfect. NO, I won't sell my MINI!

If Mr H had his way we'd be selling ours and replacing it with who knows what but I intend to keep it it'll be 3 years old in March and has only done 17,000 miles so it'll be good for a few more years yet

Minnie is just over 2 years old now and only got 13,500 miles so I doubt I will be selling her unless I win the lottery.....even then it would be for another mini

Like everyone else, I honestly can't see myself never owning a mini

will i be keeping my Mini? lemme think...WHY THE HELL NOT?! i love my Mini! here in the philippines, it would be wise to keep the miles low on our Minis because we don't have a dealer & would have to import Minis from other countries...but i still use my Mini regularly (to my dad's annoyance) hehehe!

2002 PS/B MC CVT, 15k+ miles...still young

i doubt it, ill trade it after i finish uni and treat myself to an 'M' car with my first year at proper job. Either that or save up for a house, but since they aint cheap in london, most likely the car then the house.

LIke you Big M, we also own two MINIs (Hers: CR/W 04 MCS, His: JB/JB 04 MCS USTCC #58) Now that our daughter is 16, the CR/W is hers and I'm looking to get my own. That will make 3 in our immediate family. I can't imagine NOT driving a MINI. Nope, we're not selling....we're buying!
