there's a wedding coming up on Saturday, 20 miles drive away, and all that's going through your mind is : -

"I best spray the dizzy cap & points with water repellant spray"
"Are the wheels on the car tight enough?"
"I best top up with at least 2 litres of oil to compensate for the loss on the journey"
"Does my Bumble look big in this?" :wub:

Feel free to add your own :dontgetit:

The oil patch on your drive is bigger than your car.
You slap people who ask for a 13mm spanner.
When you pull you arm out from the back of a block your no longer surprised to see your watch is missing.
When not driving a mini you find out it's really hard to do 30mph round every corner.

You can listen to the music without any fuss or bother...but everyone else can't due to the supposed engine/zorst noise.
