You know you drive a MINI when: You pull up in your friends driveway and you can turn around without going in the street....I am fortunate to drive it as my fun car and it's a pleasure each time...

You find yourself sneaking in washes, etc. when your spouse is off shopping for the simple reason that no one has explained to you why the MINI is never ever on the "To do" list.

You know you drive a MINI when:

-You are willing to drive 12+ hours ONE WAY to get to some good twisties

AND

-You drive all that way to meet people that you don't even know because it seems like a really good idea!

Just wondering... anyone ever mouth the words, "I'll miss you" as you are backing away?

You know you drive a MINI when:

People think that your MINI is some sorta James Bond/ spy car because is has a "secret compartment."

You are much more anxious about potential fender-benders in shopping mall parking lots than accidents on the open road.

Yep. I also talk to him almost every time I get behind the wheel. Usually it's just a "Hi Butters, you doin' okay today?" Then pat the dash. He gets the random "Good Boy!" every now & then too.

Oh, and I usually tell him sorry if I hit a pot-hole.

You sit in your chair at work and imagine rowing through the gears in your Mini while making the motions with your hands and feet...
