Here are 2 of my other rides, I won't show you my daily driver, it's a 1985 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight Regency, old, ugly and started to rust but it was free and I work in cement dust all day long so it does the trick.

Since I placed an order for a Mini, I can say that I'm an owner.

Here is what the Mini will replace:

daily drivers...and the rest

Here are the daily drivers:
1999 Saab 9-5 wagon that my wife drives (the new MINI on order is for her)
1997 Jeep Wrangler for me
1998 F-150 when needed.

Now here are the toys:


Much fun to be had in this.


Fun in this one too!


This is my wifes' car. I've never driven it in the twenty years we've been together.

first time I've added pictures to a post, I hope it works!

Don't have a Mini yet, but once I do, I'll be getting rid of the Mazda Protege5.

The wife has an '05 Mustang.

She got her dream car last year. Now its my turn.

I have a 2000 Ford Excursion V10, and a 2003 Landrover Discovery. I'm thinking about trading in the Landrover for a HUMMER H2 SUT. Just cant decide...

THANKS! Honestly, you really can't go wrong with Superleggera's on ANY car. The car IS begging for a drop though....I just can't compromise what I feel is an already perfect automobile. It seems like pictures make it look higher up than it really is. Much better in person.

Technically, the 2000 Civic Si is my car, as I traded my beloved 91 CRX Si for it. But, since we also later traded my wife's 98 Civic hatchback for a yellow 98 VW GTI, a car I wanted, I drive the VW and my wife drives the Si. Since the band got a trailer, I don't need to haul around my bass equipment anymore, so I'm trading the GTI for my MCS (which is now awaiting transport!) So, come June, we'll have the MCS and a Civic Si.

And then there's that other thing I drive sometimes - a 2003 Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe VT600CD.

My Mini Cooper will be my commuter car that will replace my Nissan 300ZX when it comes in.

This is my fun car on the weekends:

i'm the queen of craptacular with my second vehicle - 99 chevy cavalier. it comes complete with huge dent in the hood, glove box that is gorilla taped shut and trunk that just got a new latch (trunk was originally gorilla taped as well!) LOL

needless to say, that monstrosity doesn't do much but collect dust in the drive way. i see her giving the MC dirty looks every so often!

What's your other car

Hey guys. New to the mini board here. Question 1. In addition to your beloved Mini, what else do you have in the garage and which do you use more?
