I ordered my new Mini on 6/9. It is now in "Awaiting Transport" mode. I have been checking on-line with the shipping company at least twice a day for the past four days or so. A co-worker came into my office and was curious as to the process. I was typing in my VIN number to check and he was like... "you have the VIN number memorized?" I said, "Well, yeah." He looked at me as if I had lost my mind.

 

the only prescription...is more cowbell.

 

OBVIOUSLY not a MINI-ist. And obviously he doesn't associate well with the intelligent types who ARE....

 

Oh man.....just wait til it actually gets here!!!

 

This is going to be me when i order my MINI. No worries i totally back your obsession, it is MINI after all.

 

Mysterious indeed are the ways of the MINIverse,
to the uninitiated ...

Perhaps your coworker should stop giving you weird looks and start thinking about the fact that memorizing a vin number was a snap for you. Perhaps he should start to consider the possibility that you are of a higher intelligence than he. And although I think it doubtful, maybe he could think about following your lead and looking into getting a mini for himself... I mean isn't that just about the smartest thing he could do anyways?!?

The other option is that most everyone on NAM has some weird obsession/compulsive disorder.. but there is no way that that is the case

 

so do i!

 

I still can recite my vin as well. It's a sickness for sure.

 

 

you want what? my social security number?!?! don't know it, but I can tell you my vin...
