Got this picture from my office window today. Thought y'all might appreciate the irony/humor:

 

Looks good, my MINI is swallowed in a sea of SUVs & 4X4's at work too...

Has the ribbing started yet???

 

I wondered if I was the only one who caught hell from coworkers. I work in a industrial setting and they all tell me it's a gay car, they wouldn't be caught dead in.

 

Coupla guys drive sporty cars, too. We have a Porsche and a shiny new Audi A8 in the lot. But most folks in the military are into the big trucks and SUVs. I don't think it makes me less of a man if I don't feel a need to compensate for some perceived anatomical shortcoming.

I just don't see the point in lugging a couple thousand pounds of extra metal and empty seats around with me everywhere I go. I wanted something different and sporty, and I love the lines of the old British sports cars (MG, Triumph, etc.), but I needed something reliable and comfortable enough to be a daily driver. It also had to be able to carry the wife and kid every once in a while.

MINI fits the bill perfectly. I get to work with a smile on my face.

 

i think its a great shot !!! i think i can even see your MINI smiling....

 

Love the picture, looks like it fits right in!

 

Aww! He looks so teeny and vulnerable (yet undeniably peppy and stylish)! It makes me want to scoop him up and put him in a nice shady, private carport away from the generic, fiendish-looking sea of SUVs!

 

Great shot, and keep on motoring & smiling! I'll wager that after you give some of your co-workers a "test-drive", they'll be singing a different tune.

 

Typical ..... MINIs ALWAYS attract the biggest vehicles parked next to them, AND they ALWAYS infringe on your MINI's space.

It's some sort of cosmic force I guess.

Only problem parking this car is you gotta remember where you put it, because if you don't you'll never find it again! They should make a retractable helium balloon that comes out the top whenever the parking brake is on.

 

I'll bet you sure can't wait to get done work to drive the "LONG WAY" home.

 

No need to justify yourself. A "real" man doesn't need to prove anything, and he also knows the difference between power and size versus size and power.

 

Nice shot! You've got the best looking vehicle in that picture and the only one I'd spend money on. Motor on...

 

They'll soon develop "gas bill envy", and I betch that there will be additional little cars soon.

 

Wow that was weird, such disproportionately large amount of SUVs & 4X4's for any parking lot.

 

Personally, I think you should ask for an exemption to the "motorcycles only" rule so you could park in the front and really show that good looking car off!

 

Your MINI feels like a fit guy stuck between two elephants on a coach flight to Madagascar.

 

LOL

Take a trip outside of CA, to a destination called "Most of the USA" and you won't find that pic weird.

 

I see nothing unusual in that picture, typical parking lot, typical BIG Metal, $50 fillup twice week. Who needs it?

 

You definitely need to see about sliding your MINI into the cycle spot in front there... you'd fit easily and still leave room for the bikes.

 

I stopped leaving my sunroof "popped" like that at work when we had a sudden storm and my headliner got soaked, along with drips down the seats and stuff (it all dried out ok by the next morning.
But there are no windows in my office so I didnt know until someone came in and said "ITS RAINING!!!"
