The thing I enjoy the most about the Mini club, is that they are all different ages, and have different Minis.... some old, some stock, some pretty modded, but they all joined the club because they enjoy their Mini... plain and simple. It's very cool that way.
If I have an incredible urge to talk Mini at work.... I talk to one of the managers who has a BMW and appreciates Minis.

My 2 favorite cars to park next to: if a Mini is present, of course, or, really obese SUV's.

I agree about the SUVs. They can provide some good shade.

When returning to my car in the gym parking lot last week, I saw a piece of paper on the driver seat. It was a hand written note saying "My wife loves your car. Please call me to tell me how you like it and where to get one."
I called, he was appreciative, and there may be a new mini in the neighborhood soon.

Wow! That was nice of you.

I spent a good deal of time talking to a friend's wife about my Mini at a graduation party Saturday.
She liked them, but was concerned it wasn't a practical car......
I cleared that right up
A Mini should be showing up in their neighborhood soon.
