How many MINIs have you owned?

We're up to our 5th MINI now, I was wondering how (a)typical that was. So how many MINIs have you owned?

I'd make this a poll, but I can't find the option for that, if its been enabled.


Edit to add:

We seem to be on the upper end of normal. The distribution of MINIs goes something like the following (which I'll keep updated.)

I can see how a car like the MINI would lead to another, and another. I just haven't used mine up yet, so one for me.

Just one for me! So far... I tend to keep my cars for more than a decade, so it might be a while before I think about another one.

3 for us.
1 ea. PW MCS the wife's car.
1 ea. CR MCS. Was my car but sold it.
1 ea. CR JCW Coupe. My car.

We're probably done as well after these. I think we're going to sell my wife's car when it gets about 80 to 85K. She wants to buy another Toyota. She likes em and I think she will welcome the quiet. Her old Toyota had a kick butt factory tunes in it and she misses that.

I'm going to keep my Coupe to about the same mileage (80 to 85K) and will probably sell it and by a small SUV. I have 1 grandchild now with another on the way so a larger vehicle will make more sense in a few years. But heck I sure have had a blast with the Mini brand.

I'm on my second Mini. My first was an Electric Blue 2003, and now I have a Dark Silver 2005.

They are my 17th and 21st cars respectively.

Three so far and they are still in the stable. Started off with an Indi Blue 02 R50, then added an Electric Blue 02 R53, then a Surf Blue 87 Classic Mini. My fourth will be a Paceman All 4 so I can drive a MINI through the winters. I just can't bring myself to sell any of them, so I guess I'll need a larger garage pretty soon.
