A thing that made me smile was when my uncle drove me home in his mini
He was just driving normally and when he got to the hill I live on he just put his foot down
I didnt know minis were that fast and then a group of kids turned round
That made me smile

i have a loud exhaust, but i swerved to avoid a dog last nyt, wet roundabout-swerving to miss a dog = 25mph into a kerb = bent drive shaft, tie rod, wings and A panel buckled.. im the most unlucky person when it comes to "mini" so atm nothing does lol

EDIT: Spelling

I get a grin as big as a Cheshire cat when i follow someone who has just cut me up and then we get to a twisty bit and i can weave about behind them and look as if i'm trying to pass. Just like this afternoon when some silly woman cut me up a round about when it was my right of way and then 30seconds later we both go on to a long sweeping slip road on to the by pass and i simply feigned an under pass on her left then took her on her right.

Also the expression on peoples face when they see me getting out being 6ft 2".

Haha I get that! You can see the mixture of surprised/disappointed/impressed looks on their faces. :thumbsup:

To answer the question though, it's partly being able to drive in places/ways that other people can't, but a lot of it is just having him around. I smile when I see him in the morning, and I smile every time I get in. Bit of a general answer, but that's the way it is - I'm just smitten haha :)
