I am completely obsessed with the Cooper MINI. Anyone share my obsession? I pine for one. Unfortunately, I am not in a good position to own one.

Alternatively, do you desire another motorized vehicle? Pictures please.

You're not the only one. I love the design of that car. It's beautifully ugly.

I am completely obsessed with the Volga coupe.

Volga never built one, but a Russian custom car manufacturer took a BMW 850csi and created a new body based on the 1957 Volga.

I like what the mini is trying to do, but don't especially like the mini. My mom, who once owned a TR3, likes it though.

I learned to drive in a 1964 volvo 122S, purchased used by my parents in 1980. We still have it.

Am running w/o a car at the moment, b/c I got sick of throwing all my money into keeping the bloody thing on the road. HOWEVER, I am planning to scrape up fopr one of these:

http://auta5p.car.cz/katalog/wolseley/wolseley_1500_02.jpg

It shares many components w/the morris minor, but has bigger engine, luxury interior, cute little light-up wolseley badge in radiator grille. Still plentiful, and decent ones can be picked up reasonably cheaply. Yum.

no one has yet put a photo of a proper mini cooper up yet.

Agree with Ed; the so-called Mini Cooper is a BMW. The only modern sports car that understands what the 60s and 70s were about is this:
