How long should or do you let your mini warm up for each time you get in it? Whether it’s early morning or 5pm in the afternoon coming back from work?

I think it is best to drive off straight away as a cold engine at idle with some fuel enrichment just promotes bore wash.
Go easy on the revs for the first few miles to give the engine time to warm up............ then enjoy.

Drive it immediately, it'll get warmer quicker. Shame you can't tell motorbikers who let their engine's sit and idle for 10 minutes before they drive it...

Jump in, start it up. Put your seat belt on, by then the fluids will be moving and oil pressure up, drive. Your engine will warm up much quicker when you're moving.

As above. Letting your cold engine idle will not do it any favours.
Start it up, dont let it idle unnecessary high, drive off and turn off the choke as fast as the engine allows you to
