EPISODE 4: JOANNE'S STORY.

A FAMILY ADVENTURE TO IRELAND.

Joanne's first MINI memory takes her all the way back to when she was just four or five years old.

Her family of four had travelled to Ireland, with her 6'4" dad somehow fitting himself, the rest of the family and all their luggage into a MINI hire car.

"I remember my mum and dad telling us a story that we'd gone to Ireland, family of four, my dad was 6'4", and our hire car was a MINI. It was quite an adventure."

It's a memory that has stayed with Joanne ever since, becoming part of the many happy family moments she associates with MINI.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

Years later, Joanne found herself looking for a MINI of her own.One Sunday morning, she spotted the MINI that would eventually become hers online. After booking a test drive, she didn't need much convincing.She knew straight away."It was the Cooper that I liked. To me it was eye-catching. I loved the chunkiness of it - it was love at first sight."From a childhood family adventure in a MINI hire car to finding one that was unmistakably hers, Joanne's story shows how a MINI can become part of your memories long before it becomes part of your driveway.
