Have you slept in your MINI yet?

Happend for me a few months ago. Got sleepy on a cross county trip and pulled off the Interstate and slept very nicely in the driver's seat for about 2 hours.

Going to Deals Gap next month with out a room and may half to stay at "Hotel MINI". Do any vendors make curtains for the MINI yet?

:smile: Sure! I've slept whilst riding shotgun when others are driving my Wanda! Does that count? I generally fall asleep after a while if I'm not doing the driving! I get lulled to sleep by the road if it's a long trip!

Slept in my MINI?
Is that before, after, or during the act of motoring?
And does that refer to just me or with another person?

Sometimes I tilt the front seats all the way back and crank up the stereo but then after a short time my kids usually come and open the garage door and tell me to knock it off cause the bass is shaking the upstairs floor.
Ooops.

You didn't toss it up in the MINI, did you? Haven't slept in mine yet, as it's still sitting at the port in South Hampton, But I'm sure I will. If you find your self too tired to continue driving, it's the only thing to do often. That's what rest areas are for, I've done it quite a few times on long trips.

Slept in him ( ) more than once.. usually whilst waiting for my coin laundry to finish as college houses don't have laundry facilities. Had a few longer naps as well. When I get a replacement MINI I intend to haul a blanket/pillow and the like outside and sleep in him all night

I slept in the car a couple nights on the cross country trip home from picking up our car at Classic MINI Suprisingly, the back seat is more comfortable than the front. :smile:

i do on some lunch breaks.

do you guys fart in your Minis? It's quite relieving in fact, especially in the laying down position.

Oh yeah - I've taken quite a few snoozes in Scooter... I can fall asleep as a passenger - no problem.. Even if I've just had a good nights sleep!

Chow!

After years of catnaps in my car, I just recently realized that I can get more comfortable in the passenger seat! Yes, I've slept quite comfortably there!
