Is it just my imagination, or do a disproportionate amount of people on here have other halves that have, or even themselves have, modern Minis /Mini Coopers/ Mini Cooper Ss?

Are these simply two things that were always meant to go with each other? Maybe it's distant traces of the "Truly British Motor Industry" in their ancestry that draws them together?

Yep spooky, considered one myself but plumped for the Golf GTi instead, might collect it tomorrow if they get the cherished transfer retainer sorted, wife runs the FL2 2.2TD4 GS, lovely motor. Boss at work put me off the mini cooper S, said it was a bit of a....darn't say it for fear of abuse.

The same could be said of Discovery 3 and Range Rover Sport owners - there are many who have got Minis as second or third cars

Martin which category do you fall into then? Are you a Defender owner who has a Mini, or a Mini Owner who also has a Defender? I think that as my 90 only does about 5000 miles a year compared to 10k a year in the RRS, that I am an RRS owner who also has a Defender, even though I have owned the Defender for longer than I've had the Sport. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
Now driving - RRE Coupe Dynamic Lux Auto with Plus pack, Fuji White, Ebony, SD4 with tow pack
Gone - 2010MY FFRR TDv8 Stornoway and Ivory, Privacy - the pace of a TDv8 RRS, the incomparable grace of a Range Rover
Gone but will be missed- RRS Tdv8 HSE Stornoway Grey with Ebony Leather
Gone (only a little missed) RRS Tdv6 2.7SE Giverny Green/Aspen
Defender 90 County HT in Epsom Green

I'm definitely a Defender owner who has a Mini, I've had the 90 since I was 16, and the Mini for less than 2 years

I am doing many more miles in the Mini though
