MC Owner here. Originally wanted the S, but could not wait ! ! ! Love my baby and when time comes to trade, (if I am emotionally able) I just want another MINI. Maybe an "S". Maybe the coop. Love them all

One other thing-I didn't buy the MINI to be different and unique-don't care for the CONSTANT attention-I have my speech down pat to strangers now and it's getting old and I'm getting hoarse. Glad to see more MINI's on the roads :smile: :smile:

I originally thought BMW was an over priced yuppie car until I drove one. I was hooked on buying one because of the comfort and drive of the car; I couldn’t get the feel of the drive of the car out of my mind, borrowed my brother’s a few times for the long drives around California. Then came along MINI, just as I was about to buy my first BMW.

This is the first car I have ever been overly passionate about. OK, Obsessive about! So obsessed that I joined both MINI clubs in Colorado. I have been contemplating joining the club in Southern California so when I go home I can visit a MINI or two. Actually I usually drop by a MINI dealership when I go home to see them.

What I am trying to say is that I won’t give up my MCS. No one will get it, I’m going to be buried in it!

I'm such a sad individual!

>>Aside from stumble (...which must be maddening!)...its possible some (...maybe just a few) MCS owners are the types of enthusiast that just trade cars alot, either for more hp or for the latest hot car. It's their hobby...no fault in that. They might be just looking for something in a car that long term MCS ownership can't fulfull. Hard to imagine, I know! ...just a theory.

It makes some sense. I look into several different car forums and I'm amazed at some people who own a car for a short while and then think of trading in. VWs, Audis, Hondas, Altima... apparently they haven't researched the cars enough, or they are never satified with a car that is not perfec tto their taste. What a waste of money.

I'm not giving up my MCS bar cold dead fingers or buying another.
