If your Mini was a tree, what kind of tree would it be?

I would say Mary-J. Not a tree, I know, but just as habit forming.

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill
Be a shrub in the valley but be
the best little shrub by the side of the rill
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

Yeah, it's obviously Bonsai for four reasons:

1. It's small.

2. It's quirky.

3. No two are the same.

4. It requires constant modification.

If my MCS was a tree, maybe the birds would refrain from sitting in it and s**tting on it? (that's just a fantasy of mine - I only need to park outside for about 30 seconds before we get "hit", even though the MCS lives in the garage where very few birds ever venture).

Why am I being punished for parking in the shade, anyhow?? .

Thinking of that Rush song, and of having a nice late-night motor,
Tatt

Being BRG, Poco would be a spruce tree. He goes all year long.
