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 you think spending an hour trying to screw on a MINI oil filter housing is "quality time"

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.

Well you know what they say about a guy who must have the biggest truck..we all know he is compensating for his other short comings… I decided to do just the opposite to this theory….I think you get the idea.

'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.
