To be fair the modern Mini still looks small compared to many other monsters on the road.

I expected last week to be absent of minis, as was on holiday abroad.  But on early morning trip to heathrow, there was a red/black min on the M25.

 

Then in Kefalonia, we were passed by a black min on the road and theres a green GT that had been in a smash sat outside a garage.

They are out there, probably lurking in car parks hidden behind a Fiesta or Corsa. I know I always get anxious when we come out of the supermarket and look around for the Mini, always takes a while to spot the cheeky little chap :D

I think I need to fit a tank ariel with an orange flag on it ;D

I hardly see any in the north east. Saw a fair few in the south last year though. Probably is a weather thing though

Saw a white N prefix near Letchworth yesterday.  Never seem to see them when in mine though but they do seem to have a strange effect on people these days.  No one looked twice at my pickup in the nineties but someone at the garden centre today nearly wet himself when he saw my van and reckoned he learned to drive in one.

On the way home from work a little black cooper with 2 lads in came whizzing by near the Belfry in Nottingham.

Never seem to see any when I’m in my mini but soon as I’m in the work car they appear and I’m there staring and smiling like a crazy man ?

Well, my count has gone down a bit from around 1 mini seen per day to about 1 or 2 a week.  Drove my sons mini to supermarket the other evening, our first outing in it and there was another min in the car park, which i hadnt seen before but found out its also a recent acquisition and local to me..  And walking the dog last night there's a pale blue one just round the corner, again not seen it before.
