5. Because I could get a MINI in the exact color combination (VR/B) that would match 48% of my winter wardrobe, and my favorite pair of dressy shoes![/quote]
Does it match the bag, too? Thanks! Great Reason!

Or maybe just because you can type fast, your Mini Mac fit's where the stereo used to be, you have an ironic imagination, and driving doesn't take up all your time!
Hey, I'll compile a final list (it might add up to 20...) and post it!
Thanks, and keep those cards and letters coming!

Because I thought it was British.
Because they stopped making the Aztec.
Because I like saying "Bonnet" and "Boot".
Because I enjoy hanging around expensive BMW's at the dealer.

'cause I wanted a legitimate reason to where a "MINI" hat.
A friend of my wife looked at the hat...looked at me....looked at the hat...and said, "Oh that refers to your car, I get it"

I think "because it's cute" has to go on the list somewhere. Maybe "I dunno, it's between a MINI and a Beetle"...or "a MINI and a PT Cruiser" should be on the lsit, too.
