...passengers ask "what's that burning smell" and you say "oh that's normal"

...you don't care if you're stuck in the inside lane, being trammed along by lorry ruts at 65mph, because you're cool

...you're always planning a mile ahead emergency places to pull over

...you fear driving after dusk, in case your headlights cut out

...you've got a heater, but the control is stuck in one position 'just in case' you move it and starts leaking (and it only blows luke-warm air anyway).

... you get in a car with power power-steering, air con, bags of power and you can hear yourself talk, and think ... bananas me this is boring.

...you need your toes to count the rust patches on the outside alone.

You look for an excuse to go for a drive.
It takes 2 trips to do a weeks shopping.
You look for small gaps to sqeeze through,just because you can.
If you see a mini in a carpark,you have to park next to it.

Small gaps, nothing better!! Major traffic jam last night and i just sailed past all the cars turning right!

[Angelic_Fruitcake]

When you will take any excuse to go for a drive! (i.e. O"h, the Sainsbury's a minute's walk away doesn't have exactly what I need... I'll go to Tesco miles away")

When no parking space is too small

When you get to work and your fingers are numb with cold, but you love it anyway

...Your Christmas and Birthday wishlist consists of mostly Mini bits, and everything else is some how mini related.

all the others are true!! Mini smell rules!!

[LukeH]

...when you and your partner/friends/family are in a non-mini driving along, you see a mini and shout "MINI!" at the top of your voice.

I thought it was just me that does that! HA


"You can tell you're a Mini drvier when..."

.....your amazed that your headlights/window wipers and indicators all work at the same time without one of them failing.

.....you forget to change into 5th gear when your driving a car that isn't your Mini.

.....you speed up for roundabouts/corners/bends etc...

[Tom Booth]

You moan at the driver for not taking corners fast enough and changing gears to early.

...People who know you ask about your car before your family
