It appears there are lot of new MINI owners lately. Well HOW obssesed are you with your car?

There is no need to discuss things like waking up a 2 AM to go look at it or parking near the window of a resteraunt to see it ... thats been discussed many, many time.

No need to discuss Mods ... lots of thread on Mods.

I mean ...

What kind of stuff not specifically a mod have bought in your obsession??? Do you lust after the MINIUSA accessory store? Are you looking for that perfect T-shirt? What about those little toy MINIs?

I can start and say that WE have the following:

1. Excluding Club shirts, two t-shirts
2. Three hats
3. One Coffee Mug
4. One framed metal pictures of MINIs
5. One unopened Journal
6. One Pen (which I use)

and the following:

A MINI Lighter!



A toy car (a present)



Stamps.com personalized stamps



A wall clock



Old mini Print

 

I have the MINI coocoo clock, a MINI toy car (just like yours), 4 different kinds of MINI key rings/chains

 

Well....let's see.....I got:

1. Hat
2. Polo shirt
3. Long sleeve shirt
4. Hendrick key chain
5. Tail of the Dragon sticker
6. Killboy photos of TOD
7. I made this clock...

Oh my lord, I am so making stamps...

 

I obsess this way...these that match my MINI (more or less):


...and a bunch of MINI Scalextric cars....and one Mini!!


(sorry for the bad pics)

 

My son gave me a Mini toy car. My other son gave me a tee shirt with a LY Mini that he printed in class. I'm still out there hunting more Mini Merchandise!!

 

I SO LOVE THE CLOCK!!!

 

I went as far as to commission a very well known artist to paint a portrait of my MINI. . . .

 

You found a very talented artist! How big is it? Lifesize?

 

Love it!

We have
2 hats (from the dealer)
1 Cooper S hat
2 wool sweaters (from the dealer)
2 mini-MINI keychains (from the dealer to the kids, no less)
2 T-shirts
5 auto club T-shirts
2 auto club travel coffee cups
1 pen - MINI travels from SF to NY from MINIUSA
Mini Cool Box.
much more to come - I go to the motoring gear store probably as many times as I hit NAM.

 

My wife bought me a pair of plush MINI houseshoes as a joke. Little did she know, I love them and they have become the hit of the house. They're nearly worn out and alas, no longer in production!

Also have a OEM Mini ball cap, Cooper S ball cap on order from MINI Swag, and just received a Mini converitble t-shirt for my birthday. I don't even have a convertable!

I have an OEM Mini Cookoo (sp?) Clock that I keep at work. Makes people laugh when I'm on the phone and they hear the honking and roaring.

In 2003, Mini mailed us those little origami-like cardboard Miniature Minis... Two of those have quenched my thirst for 1:43 scale desk toys.

I definately marked my parking space with the Mini tire tread "MINI PARKING ONLY" stencil.

It's pretty goofy when grown men act like prepubescent boys... but count me in!

 

I am undeserving of your company

 

I'm obsessed. I've got a website that features it at littlemini.us and a license plate that says obssssd. But beyond that, I've spilled it onto my next generation. All my MINI diecast toys went to my 2 year old son except for a precious few still in boxes. One of his first words was MeeNeeeeee followed by Brrroooom Brooom. He's got a MotorSwag MINI Tshirt, a counterfeit MINI car he rides in, two stuff MINI cars, one in CR and the other IB. Hmm, I'm in Toronto right now on vacation and an aunt just bought him a die cast CR Cooper for his collection, and when he gets in my MINI for his ride to school, he always wants to sit in the drivers seat and pretend he's driving after he's pushed all the buttons....as for myself, I visited Wonderland in Toronto and the only rollercoaster I HAD to ride was the Italian Job Test Track. =)

 

I have club decals from all but two US MINI clubs. When I bought my MINI I had to increase my dose of Celexa.

 

Hats, shirts (too many to count), key chains, toy cars, magic 8 ball, and too much other to list except if you go here:

You can see my MCS on my checks

After seeing the shirt we got for my brother, my mom liked it so much we are placing an order to have one made for her!!

 

Wow. I thought my wife was nut getting the car put onto stamps but you win ... I would never have thought to do it on checks

Oh yeah ... Yucca, dude ... that pic is way beyond the call of duty!!!

 

I have tons of MINI collectible items.

Tons of shirts and cloths from MINI
Clock
Bag
Pen
Hats
Teddy bears (forgot one in Montreal... I know, I should never leave a man behind lol)
And plenty of other small stuff...
every trip to MINI dealer makes me buy something lol

 

Well, I tried to post a picture of my stuff but the file is too big and I can't figure out how to make it smaller and keep everything in the picture. It's in my gallery.

I have a friend who gave me every MINI ad out of her 12 year old son's car magazine for 2 years. A couple of toy MINI cars, one in IB like my deceased one. The old owner's manual/paperwork/picture of my 03. A T-shirt from the dealer, wings key ring, a picture my husband gave me for my birthday blown up and framed of my test drive in an 05 Cabrio. MOTD stuff, MTTS stuff, Welcome box with a journal of the major trips we with have taken in the 06,and a Stop Drop and Drool poster.

 

Cool! Where'd you find that?

-Paul!

 

eBay

 

I have one of those plexiglass lighted logo signs. It's about 2ft wide and 18 inches high. I have it hanging high over the credenza in my office. Kinda keeps things light with my staff when they think their boss is just a big kid.

 

And I am very blessed that Yucca gave me a beautiful matted and framed A/P limited edition print of this wonderful painting!

I have so much MINI stuff, that I now am forced to take a serious inventory. Tons of MINI event tee shirts, die-cast toys, decals, clever magazine tear-outs, etc. I have most of it stashed away in its own storage vessel.

 

I left my welcome package pretty much intact . Heck, I didn't even use the floaty pen. I wanna preserve mine for eternity.

Oh, while waiting for my car, I downloaded the owner's manual and deligently studied it cover to cover

 

Here is my baby girl the day she came home from the hospital, last month



My wife is the Mini obsessed one. I have my Audi to obsess over.
