Any Mini fans here?

[M.Wong]

I love my E38 so a Mini would likely shock my system when it comes to car size. (Nearly 5' shorter than my car!) But my wife loves the Mini and wishes we had a bigger garage so we could get one of these.

Anyone drive the Cooper and/or Cooper S and can tell me what they think? I’d like to hear what people think in comparison to what they are driving now…

Well, you might get more responses in the MINI board, but...

My wife drives a MINI S and loves it. I love it too! My car is an E46 M3, and I must say that the MCS is a VERY fun car to drive as well. When we go out or do errands on the weekend, we almost always end up taking the MINI. While it is a bit sluggish off the line, once you get above 15-20 MPH the car is just a blast.

Go for it!

Couldn't you park a Mini behind the E30? :dunno:

[M.Wong]

but now I am curious!

I didn't want to ask on the Mini board (yet) because I was kinda interested in what big car drivers thought of it.

Go for it! I spent two days with a Mini S - A real blast to drive and a great change of pace.

May get one for my daughter (but don't tell her that!), when in reality I'd just like to drive it.:D

Handles like a go kart .

But all I could afford was the $35 Mini pillow!

Then I took a few more pics on the way home.

Maybe some day. 18-19 months to order a Cooper S! How does that work... you place an order today then get a model 2005?!?

Depends where you order from. You should be able to find a dealer with no waiting list and have your MCS within 3 months

Yeah, I think Denver CO and Salt Lake City UT are the closest. I don't mind travelling to get to a car :)

For now, the $35 pillow will have to do, though...

My wife likes them. Too bad they don't fit in the back of her Land Rover. :)
