Hi , I'm happy to report that today I joined the ranks and became a Mini owner!!

Have already been out and about , and looking forward to the reunion with a brand I first owned 29 years ago !! Note: I didn't say 30 years.

I am now looking forward to having fun, and no doubt spending money on the car, as well as hopefully meeting and learning from others.

Vintage/old actually means "something to be treasured", I reckon.
Age is relative, young man.
Let's just say I was driving minis when they could be bought brand new.
Clubmans that is ... the round nose was TOO OLD for me then!!

young man.

I have not been called that in a looooong time Pocket_rocket and I was around when the first roundnose Mini's appeared, in fact my 2nd car at the ripe old age of 19 was a roundnose 998 Deluxe...

Now if you don't mind, I will just go for my afternoon nap.... :wink:
