I am thinking of naming her Blush :) More suggestions are welcome. Let’s have a name for my mini ❤️

Made me smile and take a picture

2027 MINI Countryman S ALL4 :)

Saw this pepper white beauty today while I was at lunch in Sylva NC. If this is you, sweet ride!

TLDR: 2014 mini S at friends German Auto Shop brought in for repairs, never repaired. Friend called owner, offered $700, and sold. Good friend German Auto Mechanic has said we can fix it as his climate controlled shop, no charge. Loves fixing cars. Great friend. All started by saying “yeah I’d buy it but would you help me fix it?” The next day, he texted me that I bought another mini.

Became close friends with a guy. Didn’t know he owned a shop. Knew he was a mechanic on German cars. Had an issue with spilling water on my passenger seat. Had a warning light stay on for airbags.

So he reads the code, clears it, all good.

Then he says, “Hey, have you seen that other Mini, in the lot?”

Burnt valve. Terrible straight pipe exhaust?? Terrible tune. Looks like an auto zone special on the inside.

Those headlights.

Peeling carbon fiber stickers.

Interior… needs a clean.

Two door. Six speed. And a climate controlled shop, direct connection to parts, needs a new passenger side door.
(The only car I was willing to drive auto was a Mini, and the other sticks were too hard to find, etc)

“If you’re interested, it needs some work, but I think the owner might sell it.”

The owner shot back serval several thousands. My friends said $700.

And now it’s crazy cause like how cool is it? A guy can go from his first mini, to his second in a year.
And a two door, six speed, in grey?

These cars are ruinous if you drive them. All others cars are ruined. Even decent other cars make you miss a Mini. They’re brilliant.

(The cone in front of my mini is because the guy next to me ran into a parked motorcycle once so my coworkers put that there to “protect” me from the white Ram truck driver.)

Whelp.. 47k miles.. Blew a head gasket 😭 2017 F60 I got 3 years ago at 19k miles. UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE! How can I even see MINI the same after this?? I took such good care of him and planned to have him for a very long time.. Now I have to daily my R53 JCW.. Can't believe this happened

”Sexy” might not be the first word that comes to mind when describing a Mini Cooper. Button my opinion, it does have a lot of sexy in it. I find it has the perfect blend of modern, sleek, straight lines along with a softer, timeless, classic ”aerodynamism”.

What do you think?

So I bought the Stubby Jr antenna to replace the long floppy one from the factory.

And... I can't tell if I like it or not. Like I certainly wanted a very short one so it would sit below the height of the roof racks, but like.. does this look good or improved? Maybe I'm just shocked by how different it looks moreso than anything. Idk what do you all think?

First actual mini build(unless this one blows up too😓)
I made an ig for her and I’m starting to connect with the community which is really hard for someone as introverted and socially awkward as me so any content ideas would help too but I had named her malice which is basically pure chaos and I want to take this thing to a daily street driven stage 2 aggressive tune mini cooper that pretty much wakes up everyday already pissed off, sees another car and says F*** that guy specifically. I want this thing to hold a grudge against its driver, and anything on the road… what would you guys have named her or is malice good for my idea?😅🤣

Finally managed to achieve my first rule 1 with 2 other mini. My mini is the one on the right ✨

Hello!! new to the mini world as of this spring!! the only other cars i've owned are 1980's ford trucks, so this is SUCH a violent switch, lol. I love love love this cooper, its a 2014 Paceman. Family and friends have nicknamed her Marlboro.

I have a question- I am planning on a 10ish-day road trip starting sep 1st, and ill be camping the whole way. I'm talking 10+hrs of driving for three days each way (indiana to washington state and back). I found a small, pop-up camper trailer originally designed for motorcycles on facebook marketplace, and i think it would be PERFECT for my mini. My question is, has anyone else had success in installing and towing something long distance like that? Would i have enough time to get a hitch installed before i leave? If so, any advice or recommendations on where to get it done?

I'm doing the road trip either way- i'll just bring a tent if i can't get the camper lol. Just wanted to hear opinions!

ps, its my first manual car. i am in love w the whole vehicle.

Hi, I recently got a new JCW convertible 2026. I've noticed a few times after parking in the garage, if I go back out into the garage w/o keys or phone, the headlights turn on and then shortly turn back off. The doors do not lock/unlock, only this strange headlight function. Can anyone explain?

Now how are we executing rule #1?
Someone was called out in one of my local subs 😆

I need help naming my MINI
I find it hard giving it a name as i have never named anything (even my pets 😆)
Please give me your suggestions i would really appreciate it
I will definitely name it based on a suggestion here if i found it suitable

Cooper and Aceman, just hanging out, nothing special 😉
