The MINI Speaks

So, in the confines of my car port, I can hear my MINI talking. The engine does sound like a very quiet diesel. When it's hot, the fan engine sounds like it could pull the contents out of my shed. It only runs for a brief time after shutting off the car. The turbo cooler whispers like the comforting breeze. A nice conversation.

Romi was fussing at me the other day. She soooo wants to get out and motor about the state. I have taken off next week and plan on a state wide motor adventure with her.

Hopefully that will appease her for a while.

Well, I admit it is presumptious of me, but I am willing to take the chance.

Mine poots.

Honest.

After I turn off the engine, if I sit there quietly, I can hear the pressurised gas tank venting. It's a gentle =whoomf= sound every few seconds.

Is that what that sound is? The other night I was behind Romi in the garage and she cut one loose, and I turn around (and with no thought at all), and say, "Bless you".

Suddenly it occurred to me, Romi cut some gas!!!! I LUB IT!!!

I'm beginning to get very concerned about you guys. This whole personification thing of a little box on wheels that moves when you step on the pedal seems to be a tad too much! Ya' know what, don't go changin'

Not only does my LilTiger talk to me, but I talk to her in return ~ MUCH to the humiliation of my 16 y/o son. "MOM puuulease don't do that!" "But why, can't you hear her too?"~
