I love my MINI about half as much as I love this community and the great friends I have been fortunate to meet here.

Who would have thought that a little car could bring so much joy and happiness into my life!

Motor on!

After I detailed and waxed the MINI last night, I pulled the little car into the garage and it looked so good, I almost gave it a full flush kiss on the bonnet, but I didn't. I didn't want to smudge the wax

>>i love my mini....
>>
>>please share with the rest of us how much you LOVE your mini!

Saturday night about 530pm I started to clean out all the dirty stuff behind my wheels to get ready to take my MINI to the autocross sunday morning. I had to quit about 1230am (too noisy even though I was as quiet as MINI mouse) and resumed the next morning a 7am. I was glad then other MINI owners reported my car was gathering a crowd while I was out walking the track course. At least they noticed someone loved their car.

Today my hands are totally beat up. Ouch.

I love my MINI, Junior so much it's almost silly. I've gotten her tons of cleaning products, interior accessories, aromatic oil (lavender), a booming stereo system, and all the love I can give. She's very special to me without a doubt.

Much like Miniclo...I gaze at her from my home's driveway and give her a smile. I give her a bath and quick detailing every Saturday or Sunday to make sure she looks her best out on the road. I even have co-workers asking what products I use on her.



Thanks to all of you MINI people...I have been able to share my adoration and love for my Junior.

This I can say for sure. 100+% Pooky13 loves Pooky Jr. The End.

Wow, that is amazing. Just like what food do you feel your dog or cat cause he or she looks so healthy!

But you know- the reason for doing those things is because we like doing them and in return our MINIs give us Motoring pleasure. It is the Great Love affair with yur MINI happening all over again just like with the original cooper.

My MCS has brought so much pleasure to my driving day. I’ve not had this feeling about a car in years. The world of MINI also drove me to this wonderful site of fellow enthusiasts. The few hours a week I spend here has been extremely informative, shear pleasure and absolute fun.

I have not been so in love with a car since my uncle gave me Porsche turbo to drive for a weekend a few years back. I too still stand and stare at this car, and though there are more on the road then when I bought mine back in July 02, people still always have a nice comment about my black beauty.

I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR! I LOVE MY CAR!

I've always been a car fanatic, but Nittany has pushed me over the edge. I have never bought so much stuff for a car in my life (especially considering I've only had her for about a month).

I've met great people here on MCO and I met some of them in person last night at my first MINI event (Philly ice cream night). It's a great community of people and I'm glad I'm a part of it. It's nice to know there are people out there who understand why I "NEED": new bonnet/boot stripes, a big US flag on my sunroof, a blue dashboard...

Yeah, I love this car!!!!!! I thought maybe this infatuation would wear off some, but oh no!!! I love to park where I can just look at it, and watch other people look at it, too!! Keeping it shiney has become my new hobby, and I find it both relaxing and rewarding 'cause when its clean my MINI looks SO good. Why could we not have had cars like this before???

Nevere thought I could get so much into a car (oops, I was almost gonna say 'inanimate object', I hope Celeste didn't hear me). It's like being a little kid all over again. This car is sooo much fun, and I've got to meet such cooool folks through my MINI.


If I haven't said so:

MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI!!!!

MINI on, I mean, motor on!

LOVE MY MINI!!!!

He always gets attention...especially from me ()... He always seems to take it in stride! He's not big in the head because of all the attention...he's just so cool!

LOVE MY MINI!!! Couldn't think of any other car I would rather spend time with!

I've had mine for just a few weeks less than a year now, and I still can't resist turning to check it out as I walk away, EVERY time I park it!

I certainly never thought I'd be driving my dream car at 27 years old! I wouldn't trade this car for ANY other, and I truly mean that. The Cooper has the perfect (for me) combination of fun, performance, fuel economy, and great looks, and doesn't make me feel like a overpriveleged snob like I would driving a Z3 or a Boxster or a TT or just about any other otherwise desirable car!

Before I got this car, I primarily viewed driving a car as a necessary evil, and my friends and family were very often aggravated with my insistence on taking the extra time to bicycle or walk places. I still do that stuff, because I think it's a necessary part of being a responsible, healthy human being, but now I also go for random, unnecessary drives - something that would have been unthinkable a couple of years ago! I certainly NEVER envisioned myself shelling out $550 for a performance exhaust, or any of the other stuff I've done to this car.
