* when you go "pfff" and snug every time you see a Bini.

* when you can quote the Italian job perfectly.

* when you understand what the hell a straight cut dog box is

and finally when you make excuses like, "every mini has rust"

:gimme:

Whenever anyone compliments a Bini I say 'it's not a real mini!" or whenever I see one generally I say to myself 'your mini is C**p!' lol!

I don't have a clue what a dog box is but I always say your last phrase... usually on at least a weekly basis :P

... You carry a bottle of water in your car and it's not for drinking.

... Your favourite perfume/aftershave (etc) is Autoglym

... You can actually say Meguiars properly

... Your idea of a dirty weekend involves you, your Mini and a box of spanners

..When you put your gloves on in the winter when getting into your car
..When you have an ice scraper...for the inside :P
..When you find any excuse to flash someone, just so you can use your spots. :gimme:
..When people who have just met you think that your car is a human because you only refer to them by name.
..When your kids know the Italian Job word for word and can actually recognise the music from the DELETED scene, even though they're only 3.
..When you offer to drive and not drink on a night out just so people can see how cool your car is.
..When you don't mind being stuck in traffic, cause you're in your mini.
..When you ask for a roof rack for your birthday (but then it gets removed from sale off fleabay :angel: )

when you cant drive a car with power steering


Use to drive a modern car very rarely and every time I did i would weave down the road for the fist half mile, looked like I was drink driving.

when you take the oil filler cap off and breath in those A-series fumes! or when others get in your car and say "this smells old" and you dont even smell anything.


When you come back in to you home and your other half says "Have you been in your mini? You smell of it" and of course youve been caught :)

you drive for 50 miles in a hire car before changing in to 5th gear.


I do that in my other car..

And refer to your other car as your other car! :thumbsup:
