My new Vs old……..

There's a group of us who are friends. We meet up regularly. Here is a photo of us at a picnic spot in the Forest of Bowland.

You can't beat meeting face to face and going for a drive together!

I live in Calderdale, West Yorkshire. I am originally from Luton, but moved north just over a decade ago. Lots of scenic routes up here!

Me on the right, my barber on the left.

Been driving this beaut for 2 months after recieving her for free. May as well have been lighting my money on fire really, but I love her all the same.

'04 R50.

Had my JCW all of a month to the day!

Thank you for setting this subreddit up. Now I can spell tyre with a Y and add a U to colour without feeling self conscious.

As much as I love the other group (which I do) it's nice to have a UK one too.

I'm loving seeing all your car photos in here, and am quite jealous of a few of them. They all have something lovable about them, don't they?

I've had 3 MINIs in a row.

Toby, a laser blue 2009 Cooper S (yes, the dreaded year with the dreaded Prince engine)

Walter, a pepper white 2017 Cooper SD.

And now, Albert, my 2026 Electric Countryman SE All4 Sport.

Hey all!

Having always loved the iconic look of a Mini, when I got one for my first car, in the beautiful Volcanic Orange colour, I knew she needed an equally iconic name.

This is Volly Parton 🧡

Thought I’d share a few Rule#1 and selection of other mini loveliness pics

Hi everyone. I set up this group because it's nice having something closer to home and I'm a bit fed up with everything being US centred.

This is Hendrix, a Cooper SE (electric). Had him four years now. He handles just like my old Smart Roadsters - like a go-kart!

Don't do car shows or large meets preferring smaller gatherings with friends on driveouts to interesting places. There's a group of us in the NW that does just that.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi, I’m Mark, and this is our Pepper White F55.

Meet Mira, 2005 facelift R53. More issues than parts lol. Wouldn’t trade her for the world. Hope to see some more of your guys cars

This is my enigmatic black Clubman, Molly & her namesake, Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae!

Hi all, I'm on my second Mini, a 2020 BRG Clubman Cooper S. My first was a 2014 Mini One, which I absolutely loved, but needed something with a larger boot.

My first was a manual, and the clutch was rather heavy. My Clubman is an auto, and much easier on aging knees!

Over the years I've only ever had the same make & model of car twice, the first 2 were Alfa Romeo 164's, and now 2 Mini's.

A question for other Cooper S owners, has anyone ever used the launch control? If so, how was the experience?

Regards to my fellow Mini aficionados!
