Not really. I've been a car nut for years and enjoy driving 24/7. I had everything from 1974 2002 BMW to MGB's to TR3/TR4 to a Mercedes Benz SL 560 and Jeep Wranglers and have always had A Harley or two around. And now the MINI joins the stable.
I just bought my first MINI yesterday and love the daylights out of her. It's a 2007 MINI S convertible, Auto (for the MRS) with paddle shifters (for me) and 22K on her clock.
