:( . Went to Mcdonalds to grab some dinner, but previously i'd pulled out one of the wires connected to a speaker in the parcel shelf. I pulled over in Mcdonalds car park, reconnected the wire, and forgot to shut the boot!

I then proceeded to listen to hip hop extremely loudly all the way home with plenty of bass :) Opening the boot makes it 5 times as loud from outside, so i must have looked a right a**ehole :)

I drove to work last week with it open. Wondered all the time I was driving why the person behind me kept flashing his lights. Whoops!

i drove 30 miles to newquay with the boot lid open on my camper, like the mini the number plate is mounted to it

i wondered why a police car followed me for 5 miles until i stopped and saw it open

didn't make my music any louder but it did the engine :(

Ive done it before, most mini owners have it's easy to forget plus you cannot see it open in your rear view mirror like you can in all modern cars.

I'm always worried that I've done this. Perhaps a little switch... Hmm. Scheme, scheme. :(

I was lucky i didn't pass any police actually :) But i even went speeding down the busy high street like that! :) . It was a hilarious moment as i pulled up at home, jumped out the car, and just saw the boot lid open. :)

Actually i normally forget one of my many switches then wonder why the car wont start.
Although at the moment it doesnt need any choke to start, just a bit of right foot while cranking.

My favoutie is forgetting to pull the bonnet relase and tyring to open the bonnet
