[E.L.M.O]

I chuckled as I drove the mini the other day at the thought of putting this up and see what humourous responses were raised. Here's a couple to get started with:

You know you drive a mini when:

-You still read topics like these even thou they have been done a fair few times before! (hey not having a moan.. I still read it, smiled and commented!)

-You take advatange of the fact your car is small, but filling the garage with loads of stuff because, well you have the extra space other car owners dont!

-You put up with the cars unreliability just because "its how it is" (and pretend it has its own personality as an excuse)

-You still plan on going to a mini show, even thou you know full well its going to be a wash out!

...when after a long day at alton towers, and you cant remember where you parked. You turn the corner, and your eyes go straight to your mini because its the ONLY interesting car on the car park, and seems to sit proud of everything else and it really does put your smile on your face. and the girl that your with sees you smiling like a excited child at the car and says "you love your car dont it, its so cute"

Ethel came up with the best a couple of years ago:

If someone asks how many cars you have & your answer contains fractions.

Have a look here: Same thread, but from 2 years ago

I knicked that off an even earlier thread

but I'll offer this

If someone asks you what car you own, you reply "I have a Mini and a ......",
but if they ask you what car you drive, the answer's the other way round.
