You Know You're a Mini Owner When........
 
You begin to refer to your Mini as "My Precious."

When with friends, you insist on taking two cars so you can drive.

By chance did you do a search on this? because there are many, many threads ...:wink:

Gromit801 Jul 18, 2006 12:40 PM

I did, but nothing came up. Perhaps the mod will delete the thread then.

You know you are a MINI owner when, you walk backwards from parking your car. :lol:

You know your a MINI owner when....
everytime you go to a MINI event you take BOTH cars instead of riding with each other:thumbsup:

Mishka Jul 18, 2006 01:30 PM

Good thread idea!:thumbsup:

You tell your car "Good Morning" and/or "Good Night".

Although there have been similar threads over the years, I am going to let this one roll, and not merge it. Always nice to revisit this topic. :grin:

...when you have over 7000 hits to NAM in a week on your works internet traffic report.. Then have to delete those logs... (It pays to be in IT)

:lol: i did that all the time.


Or when you just get in it and drive and have no real place to go but just to drive it.

miniprof Jul 18, 2006 04:26 PM

You chase a similar MINI through your neighborhood honking and waving wildly while saying "LOOK PENELOPE!! It's your sister!"

Did that today. Hubby, and other MINI driver, thought I was NUTS:eek2:

ka_ciao Jul 18, 2006 05:02 PM

...you're SO goes out of town and you wash his MINI because it's at your place and could use a little shine! :razz:
(Dylan got a bath the weekend before so she was okay with it. :wink:)

Monk Edsel Jul 18, 2006 07:26 PM

When not in the car, you feel anxious without your keys somewhere on your person. I know I get like that.

polizei Jul 18, 2006 08:13 PM

^ Yup. Happends to me all of the time! My keys fell out in another car and luckly another person found them for me. I was more worried that I wasn't going to get to drive my MINI home rather than someone steal it! :lol:

Your GF washes your MINI while you're out of town. :D

You know you're a mini owner...when you start dressing to coordinate with your car's color. LY by the way.

Yeah, I love to wear black now!!

You know you're a Mini owner when you find yourself sneering at VW GTi's.

BoCRon Jul 19, 2006 09:57 AM

You know you're a MINI owner when....
you buy a trailer hitch and then a trailer kit, assemble the entire thing, paint it black and start to buy decals for the trailer. All this so you can take the MINI on any upcoming road trips instead of the nice big truck with DVD players and all kinds of cargo room :lol:
See trailer, after paint, but before sides and decals :grin:

I see those all the time at Solo 2 events. The Mini drivers use them to haul their mounted racing slicks to the event.

BoCRon Jul 19, 2006 10:04 AM

Well, I will also use it to haul wheels, an EZ Up, chairs and my cooler to Driver's School, so I had an ulterior motive!

you know you're a MINI owner when...
