Probably some repeated lol
You can't help smiling every time you walk towards your car.
You look forward to roundabouts.
You drive 5 miles in the wrong direction behind another mini just so you can be in convoy.
On frosty mornings you have to drive with the window open to de-mist the windscreen, even though the heaters on.
If you have passengers you can't make it over the speed bumps without scraping your exhaust.
You know you drive a mini when you pull away and leave an oil slick in the parking space.
When you get excited about buying car parts.
Your garage not only know your name, your cars name, they also know your credit card details by heart.
The postman is getting sick of delivering big boxes from mini spares and asks if you're building another from scratch.
You know you drive a mini 'cause no matter how much you swear, shout and cry you can never fall out of love with them.
When you class the weather as being 'the mini will start' and 'the mini won't start'.
When you have to reach upwards to get the ticket out of the car park machine.
If you have passengers the windows steam up.
when you hear people walking past going "i used to have one of those......"
when you park the other side of the car park just to park next to the other mini
when you can fit into really small spaces
You plan 4 hours for a trip - 3 for travel and 1 for repairs.
Any discussion of a trip contains references to breakdowns.
When getting ready for a trip, you pack more supplies for your car than for yourself.
when you have to keep telling people how to open the doors
Your neighbours, try and pass off all their old car bits on you when they clean out the garage for the first time in 20 years.
When you are driving along and somebody is turning right in the road and you can squeeze through the gap between the car and the kerb. Leaving the car that was following you struggling and eventually gives up and waits.
someone is waiting in the back and you say 'pull the nob the says PULL' to which the back of the seat flings and nearly knocks them out. 'nope that was the recliner'.
