    I’m dead boring with the Mini being my second car…………from my Honda Civic I bought in 2000. The problem being a have had company cars and always used the family cars that were mostly Big Volvos. Sometimes I look at the Classic car mags I'd love a Capri.....as I feel I missed out although I was usually a passenger.


    Honda Civic 1.4
    Mini Cooper (Current)




    Johns list is impressive but My friend would trump him. He is ten years older than me and has Driven everything. We were round his house a few of us as we grew up together and since he has known his wife of about ten years she can account for 40 plus but when we started and you forget so many I think we got to something stupid like over 100

    Recently he had a new Range Rover Vogue, 54 plate M5 convertible, two jags, some people carrier he uses for the dogs and this you will love. A split new Mini Cooper S when it was bought ( 54 plate) he bought for his wife to learn to drive, she did not learn to drive so it sits in a garage waiting on his daughter to turn seventeen in a few years. Back in the 80’s and 90’s he used to swap his car every month or so it seemed.

    My other friend has had about 38 cars but since the birth of his son he has kept cars longer with his current VW being with him for four years. Although right now he has the VW estate, an old Land rover, a new Shape VW beetle and one of those Motorhomes On his drive……

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Maybe you & Fiona should sit down together for a wee/long while

    Number of minis is not an easy one as you can see from a typical day in the life of John.
