LOL! See? A little perspective!

Yeah, until that sudden stop!

If I've got to carry some food out--MINI or otherwise--it's always on the floor. Less distance to drop.

It is usually against Federal Safety regulations to smoke in mines. There is a high danger of explosions from smoking. At least it is better than smoking in a car. And Duong, if it's all the same to you, I'll bring my own plastic bottle for drinking water if I ever ride in your car. I would worry about the danger of a mix up of bottles. Gag, gag, gag . . .

Groceries are allowed. Take-out is allowed in the boot. A water bottle with fastened cap is allowed.

Any other infractions will be dealt with by summary execution.

That is all.

OK, I don't have an R56 but I do have a story. I went out to dinner with Dustin, (AutoXCooper,) to a Chinese place. There were leftovers and I drove my R53. He knows the rule. NO FOOD that can stink up the car! Going shopping for food is ok as most of it is sealed etc. He told me that he is not tossing the leftovers. We came to an agreement, I would drive him and his leftovers home IF he held them out the window. It was only 3 miles and it was not cold but I am sure I will NEVER hear the end of it!

Now that is a really good one!

I can't blame you though. Food smells tend to linger for quite awhile... :impatient

Dustin told me that story after I was taking home leftovers from P.F. Chang's...

Did your MA know that when you placed the order?

No eating or drinking allowed in Mia! I learned from my Volvo wagon what 3 kids, food and drinks can do to a car . Won't make that mistake again.

Both food and drink are allowed in my car. I think I've even eaten a burrito in there . I love Leatherette...it's so forgiving!
