PTs and Minis are just different vehicles that serve different purposes. My brother has had two PTs, one standard and one Turbo (both sold now), and got good use out of them for business and personal use. And the GT was pretty quick, he's such an insane driver that I didn't dare keep up with him in the mountains of West Virginia a couple years back.

when installing a bolt in roll bar DON'T forget to see if there's any wires unserneath the carpet behind the front seats.

To think that a MINI (and maybe a ferrari) is the only car you can have a "love affair" with is just goofy.

So i guess that mine would be....don't feel elite for driving a MINI. Just enjoy it for what it is..... a car you love.
Best post in this entire thread.

I imagine people who drive M3's say the same about Mini owners.

DO love your Mini

DON'T ever close the doors by the glass, ALWAYS use the handle

DON'T slam the doors

DO keep your Mini clean and garaged (if possible)

DON'T be impatient if people stop you and ask questions

Most importantly enjoy your mini to it's fullest, but always motor safely.
