It's our only car. We had one each until end of last year but we're soon both going to be fully retired so need only the one. Would LIKE two... but we only NEED one.

Haha, no, it's an mhd. I bought it as I have a very short journey to work and didn't want to coke up the MINI's engine. Free tax and still cruises at 70 on the motorway.

Mine is one of 3.

1. JCW Clubman... Daily driver
2. Goodwood Mini... Club Runs only
3. Land Rover Discovery 4... For towing the 21' Caravan.

It's my Daily driver, but I have a trail Rig. It's a 1992 Jeep Cherokee with 35 inch tires and a 4.5 inch lift. (amongst other stuff) It was getting expensive on gas on a daily basis, so only using the jeep once in awhile.

The mini replaces our Z4. The others in the family are an Evoque and a Corsa.

My mini is now my only car, TBH i was not sure about that idea, but now it just feels so great!

Hi!

What an interesting question!

The family car is a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 5 LTZ, A/T (Carbon Flash, i.e.: black). MY MINI is a 2012 Coupé Pepper White (I'm planning to upload photos soon, into the Intro section; please have some patience).

Cheers!
