Happier than a Happy bunny!
I put on my driving gloves, crank up the tunes and just mosey along in my own little way.
I don't feel bullied at all when I'm driving my little Jimmy, if anything I feel like people let me out of junctions more and just smile at me lots. When I'm on the school run, I feel like the coolest mum there! (Oh wait, I am! haha)
I had a guy following me in a Lamborghini the other day and when we parked up at the shops he couldn't help smiling at my little mini!
I'm gonna be so sad when Jimmy goes to the garage to fight the rustmonster for a while. Driving a big faceless Rover just ain't gonna be the same :D It'll be worth it afterwards I suppose.

I feel really silly. Because at the moment, to drive my mini, I have to sit in it, on the driveway, making car noises....

My favourite trick was to be going down the motorway at a steady 70 or so....wait for a rep mobile to come hairing up the outside lane.....wait till he was almost along side me then drop to 3rd and floor it. By the time his nose reached mine i'd start pulling away and wouldn't stop till i hit the limiter in 4th :D

For some bizarre reason, on the motorway, I used to think I was either going to have a blowout, or the wheels were going to fall off ..

But, that only comes into my head when I'm doing more than I should be ..

I love driving the mini though, one of the most proud feelings ever. One the way home I drive past my old High School and the amount of kids who punch each other after seeing the mini is staggering ..

I like to think I give something back to the community :gimme:

I thought everyone had heard of the "mini punch" ??? .. Obviously not .. I have no idea how I know about it, or how all my family know about it ..

We even used to do it when I was a kid .. :gimme:

I thought it was yellow cars you were meant to punch to :gimme:

I can't sit in my mini at the mo, his seats are out of him whilst he gets his rust sorted :'( When he is up and going I fall in love all over again!
