MINIs at Work

Anyone else have a great view of their MINI at work?

In 2 weeks I'm moving to the window office!
It has a nice window where I can see my MINI 2 feet away-
(I park right in front of the window)

Hopefully it won't be too distracting!

Yes, and I love it. My office has french doors and I am parked on the opposite side of the parking lot, but a straight view from my chair. Sometimes I back it in if I want to look at the front, like yesterday (first day with the tow hook installed).

I have a big window and I park across the street where there are less birds. I have a pretty nice view, but the trees partially block my MINI.

I have a cube in a far corner in the 6th floor of a building that is two buildings away from the parking garage.

I take the train to work - alas - I don't get to lurk at her unless I HAVE to drive in.. Around here, the train is a MUCH better option for me -

I live 10 minutes from work- so I have no reason not to bring him to work!
(I keep an eye out for the EVIL leaf blower people though- they blow leaves and dirt right at my car!
So I have to put the car cover on on those days)

I park a mile away from my work. But, I can see my parking structure from my office.

I don't have a direct view, but when I'm walking thru the office I can see him, patiently waiting for me to get out of there and get back on the road!

When I am not driving for work, BLISS is parked right outside the wall of windows that I am lucky enough to face. I didn't get much work done the day after I installed the aero grille, hahaha!

I own my antiques shop and am able to park my baby right out front of my door. I smile every time I catch sight of her LY gleaming in the sun. Plus, she not only brings in customers, she starts a LOT of nice conversations!!

I always park mine within site of my office window. It's nice to roll back, turn around, and check out my little car every once in a while. Makes me smile no matter what the day is like.

When I read MINIs at work, I thought it was MINIs that are used for work. Here on LI, there are a few that are used this way, painted up with logos and graphics, and such. The one I see most often is Foxtons.com. It's green with a yellow roof and all their logos and phone number, etc, on it. I'll try to get a picture of it.
