Like I said earlier, so do I but it's quite dissappointing when you pull in at the same time and pull up next to another mini, get out of your car with this big "HI FELLOW MINI OWNER" smile and they just look at you like... gee, you have the same kind of car I do... that's nice.

Talk about instant deflation....

Came out of Lowes this weekend only to discover another BRG Mini parked right next to me, way in the back of the lot. Cool!

Nobody said owning a mini was a ordinary experience.

That is awesome. And yes between choosing a parking space next to a Mini and a non Mini, Mini will win 10 out of 10 times.

Absolutely hate this. Less and less waves too. I just feel bad for their poor mini not having an owner that appreciates them for all their worth.

I went to Jo Anns a couple weeks ago and parked next to a Red/Black JCW Clubbie and as I was walking away from my car the owner came out and she said hi and seemed really excited about owning and a Mini and another one parking next to hers.
