I saw a gorgeous mini 30 in the supermarket car park yesterday and it had parked next to mine (deliberately I think, as minis tend to cluster). It was black, and had black leather seats with mini thirty written on them. I wasn't able to get a photo, but I just wanted to share my appreciation of this lovely car with you all.

Was that you, at the Great Park Morrisons car park yesterday at around midday? ;D

Does anyone else get this nerdy about mini spotting?

I am well nerdy...and not just about minis either, just generally a nerd! ;D
That mini sounds just like our new one....I wonder if Rog has been sneaking off to Morrisons, if so, why didn't he get some shopping in?! :(

It did have a couple of "children on board" signs on it actually...and would explain why it was parked by me!

If it was Rog you'd have known 'cause there's a huge Batman logo in the back window (Nerdboy ;D )

It's not just you Charlotte, i think we all do it. If i see a mini in a car park, yes i do tend to park near it, just so i can have a goosey gander.

I saw some lush minis in the Tesco car park the other day, i went and had a look....once i'd got mini started ;D

I don't see many mini's where I live ..... but there's one in the street behind and since I've had mine I've been taking the long route home just to have a little look!!

I've had 2 mini's flash in the few weeks I've had Eric - the first time I hadn't worked out how to flash back so I felt like a right lemon waving back excitedly!!

Glad to know it's not just me ;D

I always miss the opportunity to flash, don't normally have my hand near the headlight arm so I settle for waving like a loon.

There's a cute mini estate near my road that I always check out when I drive past it - nice 70's shades of brown and cream.
