I don't think I would ever get a tattoo... but I do know a chick in Jersey that has the MINI logo inked on her upper back.

I will admit that I have taken pictures of every MINI loaner I have gotten when the Kid has gone in for service. There's nothing normal about that.

 

Ain't that the truth. I started with one tattoo, I'm up to five with plans of half sleeves (no MINI tattoo though)

Yeah that is a little weird actually!!!

 

I've decided that if we're all here, we're simply very passionate about about a car that deserves us as owners.

On the other hand, I find the owners that pass right by without a wave or a smile to be the real weirdos. You own a MINI and you haven't figured out that this is not your average car??? You see a MINI that is your MINI's twin and you don't give a wave??? REALLY???? Time to trade that bad boy in for a Civic, let a real owner get in the driver's seat and get back to being Point A to Point B drone.

Oh, and don't forget to wash that Civic once every other month whether it needs it or not.

 

I think you're totally right. ... Although I am that freak that has washed my MINI 3 times since I got it last month.

 

Funny - but me too!

 

I wash mine once a week, inside and out. Friends make fun of me, but my '06 looks brand new!

 

Here we go with the washing again... I would wash mine more often, but I live on a dirt road and it's grasshopper season. My MINI is a dirty girl.

 

We all are obsessed one way or another. What better way than with our cars?

I know I am a bit late but RJ it all depends on where you want to be committed? A psych ward (NO Way!!!) a place where people are obsessed with their MINI's possibly!!!!

Obsessed with Cleaning my MINI??? Oh boy just ask my wife. I have to park it under an oak tree (we do not have a usable garage) the birds!!!!!! I am constantly cleaning the windows and the car(with detailers spray) Not to worry, my wife has been obsessed, although she won't admit it, alot longer than I have. She kept me away from MINI's for 4 years.

 

I have 3 doggies that I tote around regularly. Interior wash is a must. Especially if the husky runs off and suddenly is dirty when I capture him!

 

Love it! I've washed mine 3 times in the past week. My coworker told me the other day "you are gonna wash the paint off that car". I said not possible, that was one of the questions I asked the dealer. haha!

 

This happens to me all the time. In fact, it happened yesterday:



(mine is the red Countryman, as yet unnamed.)

I know the feeling, this little fluff ball travels with me frequently (hence the car seat ) and her white hair and my black interior don't mesh.

 

I am temporarily living on a dirt (actually it's almost all mud) road and it's killing me!

The MINI looks so damn nice when spotless that I have been taking a wet sponge when I get home from work and giving her a quick clean. No soap, just some hot water and a big ol sponge.

Does wonders and only takes 15 mins.

But I try not to let my wife see me (she thinks I am obsessed enough as it is).

 

Every time I drive down this terrible road, I tell myself and my MINI that soon we'll live on a paved road, hopefully with a garage. Maybe then I'll wash her once a week, but for now, I'll just leave the protective layer of flying protein all over the the bonnet. Maybe I'll even post some pics to make the weekly washers cringe.

 

Maybe (maaaybe) I will let mine go unwashed for a week and take a pic! Hard to do - looks like crap real fast (and the boot seems to really love to hold onto the slop)

Looking forward to a pic...

 

The pictures don't the dirtiness justice. It's much worse in person.

Cringe, weekly washers, cringe! Muahahahaha!!!

 

I can believe it looks much worse in person!

Mine was looking really bad a few weeks ago - and just one drive down the road I am currently living on makes it look like yours in these pics - and then the cleaning begins...

 

Yeah, dirt roads are not cool. The Safelite guy is coming tomorrow to look at a huge ding in the windshield, so I better at least wash that part. But you know how the snowball effect works. I'll probably wash/wax the whole car and detail the interior. Then after one drive it will be straight back to dirty and covered in grasshoppers.

 

A) I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo who totes my dogs around (although I think mine are a wee bit bigger than that super cute Pappillion! ... I have a Siberian husky, a yellow lab, and an American bulldog/pit bull mix)

B) I'm glad I'm not the only one obsessed with my car or other MINIs for that matter

C) Come snow season, my MINI will be a dirty lady too

D) You non weekley washers crack me up :biggrin:

And E) keep motoring!!

 

Stephatron, I don't know you but I like you for the mere fact you know what kind of dog my precious Phoebe is. Most people have never even heard of a Papillon.

 

I'm a dog trainer and bather

 

A friend of ours has a green MCS and I park my hyper blue Justa next to it whenever I get the chance at our TKD school. The owner of the school made a free front tag for my MINI and just gave it to me (free advertising I guess)

 

I think watching the movie Revenge Of The Nerds should be mandatory for this thread.

Yes we are weirdos. I've been called cornball, dork, snot, and doofus by plenty of women, so I'm used to it. Get over it.

 

My wife says I am, but that was long before I ordered my MINI. LOL

 

Are we a bunch of weirdos?

does not begin to start my fixation on my MCS = )
