If you REALLY loved your MINI you would avoid running into any bugs! Admittedly they are difficult to see and avoid at speeds in excess of 80 mph, but LASIK eye surgery will be of help.

For those of you who demand the very best (lightest and fastest) in bug avoidance, I will be making my secret bug avoidance device (no numbers yet) available in the near future to any and all that send me a SASE. The CF version will be ready to ship soon.

I thought I was just getting a neat little car. Little did I know it would be buying into a lifestyle, full of cool people and events. Icing on the cake, for sure.

Yup, MINI is not just a car, it's a lifestyle!

I'd put good money on the fact that a similar thread could be started on virtually any online community for hobbyists...

"Do you spend too much time with your _______?" (stamps, coins, guns, beanie babies, bloodhounds, antique hand tools, glass telephone pole insulators, old railroad timetables, authentic US Civil War uniforms, paperweights,..... )

Everyone's looking for something to do. Count yourself lucky that you've discovered the MINI "lifestyle" so that you didn't have to join the "Old Mason Jars that I buy at Fleamarkets" lifestyle.
