Compare your MINI to an animal!

Since one Oregonian writer compared MINIs to Jack Russells, I think we should open the comparison! Which animal do you think a MINI is most like, and why?

Me, I think MINIs are most like ferrets: inquisitive, ready for action, brave and small. Their size hides their power!!!

Next???

I agree with Jack Russell Terrier. My brother-in-law has one (the dog) and my MCS goes just like it (high strung and full of energy).

I compare my Mini to my dog, Bandito.
Same colors, same attitude.
Same short stocky strong body.

If you ever saw Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey play, you'd know he was an animal (and hey... you're older than you look).

If you ever watched the Austin Powers movies, you know Dr Evil is an animal.

And if you ever watched The Flintstones, you know Pebbles was an animal (well, a cute and cuddly one).



.........Bergey................................... ...Pebbles.................Dr. Evil

My MINI is aptly named "The Wombat" - short stubby and ferocious when necessary.
