...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 might do :) my parents used to do that for binis...then i told them it's not a mini, so they stopped :D
and whenever friends, or family friends, point out binis, i politely inform them that that is not a classic, it is a BMW...

Love this thread - I agree with so many of them

... you spend all weekend working on your Mini to make sure she'll make the 30 miles to the exam centre instead of revising for the actual exam!

...People you only know via conversations on the phone at work ask you "How's the Mini going and when are you going to send me pictures?"

...Germans you know accuse you of spreading a dangerous virus called 'Mini Radaritis', which causes those afflicted by acquaintance to start spotting Minis, collecting 'Mini'ature ones and refering to their 'native' breed as Binis.
