Daily driver is a 07 Audi A4.
Weekender or when I want to feel the road, 05 R53.
My girlfriend is thinking she should have bought a mini
instead of leasing the A4 so I can Mod hers as well.
Keep telling her she's in a good spot since there's
a possibilty of AWD in 09.
So I've heard.
Can anyone confirm this!

Wife drives a 2004 VW Passat GLS 1.8T. The crazy thing is that it gets better gas mileage (city & highway) than my MCS!

I drive a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo to work. I've received too many dings and dents in the parking lot to subject my 06MC to such treatment.

i used to have a 96 Civic hatch for daily duties...

to make a long story short, so i could get my MCS, the Civic had to go to my younger bro and i got our 2002 beetle in not really good condition

first mod when it comes out of the paint shop is a "my other car is a Mini" bumper sticker

Here's my other weekend toy:





2000 Kawasaki Ultra 150. 65mph top speed (just a little slower than the new supercharged barges, but a whole lot more playful and fun-Just like a Mini!).

Two second cars: 1999 Honda Accord (V6), 2005 Lexus RX-330. Its very hard to go from the MINI to the Lexus ...like going from a go-cart to a school bus. I always get into trouble going around the first corner in the Lexus and get yelled at by the wife.

Do you ever wave at a MINI when you aren't in your MINI? I've gotten some mighty strange looks that way.

'98 Ducati ST2, '05 HD Road King Classic, but right now the MINI is the daily driver. Wife has '05 Suburban, '99 Ducati 900SS, '05 HD Heritage Classic. We have the old '93 Suburban w/217k as a backup, and '49 *****'s Pickup as a toy.
