....When you feel you've pulled the wool over the MOT tester's eyes when it passes.


exactly the same feeling when my van passed

*whistles*


- when you have chronic back ache, bleeding ears and the biggest grin on your face after giving it beans down a twisty back road :genius:

When you insist on taking the Mini instead of the family MPV on the Xmas shopping trip, even though you end up bringing home half the contents of Toys 'R' Us!

You look for an excuse to go for a drive.
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.


yep i am always wanting to go for a drive, "oh you need to post a letter, i'll take it there in person!"


also i regularly find other minis parked next to mine when i come out of asda! :genius:

When you park next to a BINI in the car park that's the same colour as yours... just so people can laugh at the BINI (I hope) :genius:

LOL I thought I was the only one to check every lock every time I parked her.

When you spend your sick day propped up at your computer to read the forums and search trouble shooting when you should be "resting."

This is a repost but no matter how hard you try not to, you just HAVE to glance back at your mini every time you leave it.

..you park in the trolley bays at supermarkets :genius:

or when you park in 1 of the half spaces because there is a bollard cemented into the space! 2 inches to spare at both ends!
