What I meant was 'keep track of' sort of thing. The organizer of Mini Meet West had several of his cars here. When it came time to shuttle them back to the hotel, it went like this: Joe take Blondie, Jane take Curley (not Joe take the purple '69). These people knew each other and the car's names!
Sorry to be a wet blanket minichik!

52. It's ok to be more concerned about your MINI than anything else in anticipation of a hurricane, tornado and/or earthquake.
53. It's ok to have a favorite motoring outfit to complement your MINI. In addition, you hang on to your favorite MINI t-shirt like a child's teddy bear, even though it is tattered and torn.

58. It's perfectly normal to buy and wear clothes that match your MINI. (Yesterday I picked up a pair of rhinestone hoops that were the perfect shade of Electric Blue. And just in time for Mad Dogs and Englishmen!)
59. As already mentioned, it is okay to name your MINI. I'll go a step further and say it is perfectly normal to refer to the car by its name in regular conversation like any other person. As in, "Giles and I ran up to Meijers then Barnes and Noble."
60. It is totally acceptable to insist that some of your wedding pictures are taken with your MINI. (I'm getting married at the end of August and I'm already warning everyone that I want at least one good shot of us with the MINI!).

61. It's ok to feel a little sad when you finally have to get out of the car!
Wow, now I know that I am normal after reading this! I'll sit for minutes at a time trying to find an excuse to go drive somewhere. Ecspecially at night! If I am in a restaurant and I can't see it from where I am sitting, I feel anxious!
I do this too! I feel like everyone must be looking at me like I'm an ***, but I don't care!!

63. It's okay to send flowers and a card to a friend when their MINI was in an accident or totalled.
64. It's okay to drive 10 hours to a place you've never been before (The Dragon) just to be with other MINI's and their owner's whom you've never met just for the thrill of it.

67. It's okay to take up 2 parking spaces in order to protect your Mini.
(what gives that joker in the suv the right to park next to your precious?)
68. It's okay to smirk at people who are obviously drooling over your Mini.
69. It's okay to tell your husband he looks totally like a loser driving the Mini just so you get to take over the wheel.
