It's possible, at least according to this diagram.

 

Now seriously, who can really hate a MINI?

I don't think it's possible.

 

I was at Cedar Point in the parking lot waiting in the "pick up/drop off" section waiting for my friend who was getting stuff out of our locker. A guy in a good looking Mazda3 pulled up behind me. I was sitting in my Mini for a while and decided to get something out of the boot. Got out and he was standing next to my car checking it out, he complimented me on my car and i saw him laughing when i peeled out of there .

 

not too long after I was past my break in, my sister-in-law was up for a visit. I took her down a nearby highway in a spirited manner, her comment was a resounding scream of " oh sh*****t!!" Then I let her drive it back to my home.

 

I was stopped at an intersection in the left turn lane with the roof down, and a taxi pulled up next to me on the right. The driver leaned out of the window, and said, "that's an awesome car! How much did that cost you, like $65k?"

 

Actually there is a diagram that will assist you with the knowledge you seek.



Edit: Oops! Sorry Valcom111t I did not see your post, didn't mean to be repetative.

 

i get the "how much did that car cost?" question all the time... sometimes i just want to lie! but i don't

 

valcom, cabriopilot, thanks for the diagram! I'm totally showing that to my husband when he gets home from the gym!

 

Kept getting doged around the office when all of the V.P.'s saw my "cute little car". Everyone asked the facts and figures and grined when I told them it has a Supercharger. "Probably just keeps you from pedeling faster to get on the interstate.
Well the other day one of the V.P.'s was walking to his car as I was leaving the parking lot. I asked if he wanted a spin around the block, "Sure."
We slowly crawled off campus until we got to the first traffic light.
You guesed it, Top Down, Sun was shining, and the tires were burning.
He was screaming and laughing and having the best time! Getting rubber in all 6 gears was way more than he expected out of this "cute little car".
The next day at work, I'm guessing that he had told everyone, because they all lined up for the coaster ride of their life.
Now whose car do they want to take to go out to lunch in?

 

The other day someone I know (who's family owns a mini) told me that my car was absolutely the best color (VR/W), and they always know it's my car because it's such a rare color. Ironically, there is *one* other mini that color that lives in this state, and it lives only a few miles from me.

I also like how all the gas station guys all want to be the one to serve me. :D

I don't know how it would work out for taller people, but say if the two people are 5'6" and 5'9".... It's possible.

 

My boss said this to me after driving in to work behind me today.

When I first got the car a few weeks ago, he said "(Co-worker) Lisa's MINI isn't that noticeable.. but you didn't go for subtle, did you?"

My response: "Life's too short for subtle. Besides, with this small a car, I need something flashy so people like you in the Escalades see me coming!" (We get along great, so he didn't mind the sarcasm!)

 

"Is that car Italian?" from an older gent in our church parking lot.

 

This morning, I zoomed into our parking lot and two civilian gents were walking the relatively long trek to the door...and were VERY close to where I wanted to "combat park" (back end first.) Well, 'coz the nutjob that parked in the next spot was "wonky" (yes, it's a real word), I readjusted to be perfectly center in the spot -- total turn points was about four movements, and fast.

Well, these two gents waited for me until I made the trek and started kidding me about, "why didn't you do it like that commercial!?! You know, come zooming in, do a 360, and WHAM right into the spot!?! I saw you readjust!"

My only response was, "well, I just didn't want to scare anybody. I really WOULD do that if there weren't any people around."

 

YES! Love that comment.

One of our neighbors, girl about 12, still tells me (after 2 years) that my car is "the best".

 

Hopefully, you have a modern mini!

Had a great morning with the MINI this morning and had to share. First, the gal at the java hut and I had a nice chat about the local club, then another gal driving a "Bumblebee" (liquid yellow, black roof, black bonnets, driving lamps) S pulled up beside me at the java hut to say good morning and wave, and gave me a nice look at her car. I love liquid yellow, I wish they hadn't discontinued it. Mellow Yellow is nice, but liquid yellow is the bomb.

Then, on the way back from the java hut, all the high school kids at the bus stop did the lean and turn to watch the car pass maneuver as I drove by them this morning. I caught a couple of girls in my rear view pointing and squealing as I went over the hill.

God I love owning this car!

And Gromit? ROFLMAO!

 

the coolest thing I've heard recently was last night when I drove through the Ebassy Suites parking lot to checkout all the BMW Z3's and Z4's that are
in town for the Roadster Homecoming at the BMW Plant.

As I passed down one of the many rows of BMW's I over heard one lady say to her husband "Thats what I want a MINI Cooper just like that one".
Needless to say the husband wasn't all to happy with her preference of my MINI over their Z4.
It was such a great moment that I had great difficulty driving back home with the tears of laughter in my eyes .

 

Was there any doubt that that's a real word?

 

Sadly, yes. Some people just don't understand....

 

i love your word choice...and will use it in a sentence myself today... ha ha...

 

"I can't believe you fit in that thing!?" I'm a lanky 6'4" and have noticed many double takes when I get out!

The MINI fits me better than most other cars, but no one can sit in the back seat. That's fur sure!

 

I have my front tow hook in place with a pull to inflate sticker just above it. Most people see it then point and smile while others have asked me what happens when you pull it? My response is it turns into a Hummer. One guy even said you must have to pull real hard for that.

 

You are a much better person than I am...
When I have been asked about mine I simply state that if I have to explain it, it is no longer a joke.



But from now on I'll try your answer and see what kind of response I get then.

 

I get more responses from adults than I do older kids and most of them are afraid to pull it even with me there. I guess they are not sure if the car will blow up or not. One guy that works at an auto parts was not sure what it would do.
Man I wish I could figure out a way to hook up the horn to the tow hook.

 

You could connect the tow hook directly to the battery which might have the same effect.
