Are you a MINIAC? I am! I eat , live, breathe MINI! In fact a few peeps have said I have gone beyond being a MINIAC (how is that possible?) ...heheheheh!

I wanna know what makes you a MINIAC? FIll in the blank.....

I am a MINIAC because________________

Motor On!

I have been a huge mini fan since day one. But with the failure of my lower control arm, I have become ever more of one. I found a very generous personwho is sending me their old control arms to help me out. Just knowing that there is a community like this that will help you out (polar opposite from the VW scene, which I am still involved in) is a very nice thing to come across. I am a tinkerer, I have been with all of my VW's, but I haven't even pushed the envelope with my car because this is the first car I have owned that had a warranty, but now with the failure of the Mini dealership and service department. I am now a full on Miniac. I have loved this car and will only fall more in love with every day that passes.

 

I am a MINIac because I traded in my lemon MINI and it only took an hour for me to miss MINIs...... and a few months later came Jenna, MINI #2!

 

I am a MINIAC because all I talk about at home and work is what mods I want to do ( need to win the lottery ) and how much fun it is to drive.

 

I am a MINIac becouse, "its the only way to be" besides I just love to drive, and what better to drive than a Mini.

 

I am a MINIac because, I've been asked of I own any shirts that don't say/have a MINI/mini on them. got my MINI on my cards, checks (found a company on line that will put whatever you want on your checks), and on my cell phone.

I can call myself a MINIac because beside the MINI, I own my second ZR1 and ZR1 still own the Speed record and endurance since 1991 for going 5000 miles at and average speed over 175 mph and go from 0-60 in less than 4.3 sec. and top speed in excess of 180 mph, the car won all the records right of the showroom floor and even if I own such a beast with only 22k miles on the clock, when asked which car do I prefer to drive, my answer is always without hesitation, the MINI, they are both parked for the winter and the only one I can't wait to take out is the MINI, I look at it every single day and I never found winter lasting this long, if I don't drive it within the next 30 days, I think I'll go nuts.

 

A picture says a thousand words

 

I am a MINIAC because I check NAM forums at least 3 times a day. It's like having a heroin addiction. Tap that vein, baby! Also, my web browser automatically opens up to motoringfile.com, so I can be informed of all things MINI, both at home and at work. I subscribe to the whiteroofradio podcast, and listen to it religiously. I have the one with Randy Webb burned to a CD, so I can hear it over and over again in my car. I've made a 150-mile trek to go to a Randy Webb pulley party, because I would trust nobody else on this planet to install a pulley on my MINI. This is my 3rd car, but the first car I've ever even considered modding to make it even more unique, and personalized. I am also a MINIAC because this car makes me just want to go driving, for driving's sake, (or should I say 'motoring for motoring's sake')?

Does that make me obsessed enough to be considered a MINIAC?

 

I am a big time MINIAC. I also think, breath and speak MINI all day long. Have owned 3 MINIs since 2002 and have been a member of NAM (Formerly minicooperonline.com) since July 2002. I have been also a long time member of MINI2.com and Sunshineminis.org.

I am one of the co-founders of our local club, Minis of Miami.

 

Finish this sentence :

"You know you are a MINIAC when.........."

 

I am a MINIAC because.... I post here like I have a Mini already...and I take images of other peoples car (mostly black ones) and try to change the color a bit to resemble Astro Black just so i can see what my car will look like when it finally gets here! And I'll stop there because now running late to see my Psychiatrist bye.

 

I'm a Miniac!!! I'm still 4 months away from ORDERING and I'm totally obsessed.....I have Mini shirts, stickers......home page is NAM(of course).....I'm on every day and feel uneasy as to what I've missed if i don't sign on!!!!! Subscribed to GoMini til they went under...signed on with MC2....regularly go to car dealers lots to look at used Mini's!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhh...what is this power?????

Love it, though!!

 

i don't consider myself a MINIAC per se, but a car enthusiast that
tries to be with my MINI and G35C as much as I can. even setup
my computer running wireless LAN in the garage this year and turned
a corner of the garage into my study so that I can be with them
even longer. i love my cars. i can spend hours just sitting next
to them.

 

Can't say that I'm a MINIac, either. There are too many very cool, fun, and very good cars out there, two of which I own, several more I would like to. That being said, the MINI (technically my wife's) with it's excellent blend of power, handling and fun looks has inspired me to start getting my two cars into order and get them up to their full potential of performance and looks.

 

When you take a $20 all-white ceiling fan for the garage, and turn a 15-minute install into a 3-day paint job.........

 

I'm a MINIac because...
That's what my license plate says.
I'm co-organizing AMVIV
I've owned 6 classic Minis plus my new MINI
I bought a classic Mini in Cleveland and drove it back to Vegas
I have more MINI and Mini toys than anyone I know including some that you can't get in the US.
I co-founded and am now president of the Sin City MINI Club.
Should I keep going?

 

now that's a good looking ceiling fan.

 

Thank you! I can rarely leave well enough alone. Plus I had those spray cans just sitting around, had to use 'em.

 

Although I do have my other passions in life, when it comes to cars I am definitely a MINIac. You could throw lots of nice cars at me, but I'll take a MINI every time, thank you. I have several MINI shrines around the house and at the office. Even though I'm not into modding (my carefully spec'ced, traditional-looking Cooper suits me just fine) I do tend to pour more than rational amounts of energy into keeping it sparkling clean. I hope to also own a 2009 50th anniversary MINI so, yeah, I'm pretty well hooked!!

 

Haha classic!!

 

I am a MINIac because...

...today was the day for me to pick up my new AB/W MCS and I was sitting in class counting down the seconds and minutes until 1:30 when I noticed a guy with dark hair wearing a bright blue shirt (like the electric blue colour). He was wearing a black watch and a black band on his other wrist and I couldn't help but think:

"he looks like a MINI."

such a random thought.

 

I am a MINIac because.....

I got up before sunrise to look at/wash my MINI.

 

God I love MINI people, I am a MINIAC for most of the same reasons as all of you.

 

I used to be a Miniac.

I'm bored with my non-LSD car now.

I want an '06 with the JCW package and aftermarket wheels/tires. Unfortunately, I have insufficient funds for such a maneuver.
