you know that you are a MINI owner if..


you are on firstname basis with all of the local tuners, and local highwaypatrol.

your last creditcard statement has 10items for your MINI, and none for yourself

you can set your car clock to switch from 24 hr to 12hr modes, but not your VCR.

you can tell by looking at your car that the local MINI dealership/ service center has not touched it.

you look forward to MINI dealership grand openings (even though you already have one) like pre-teen girls look forward to mall openings, or geeks to starwars movies premiers.

when on vacation, after the first few days of not driving your car. you get the shakes.

you get used to lining up your window to the rear windows of adjacent cars when you park. (happened to me last week, parked my longbed truck this way and didn't realize it until I got out)

you don't mind circling the lot as much when looking for parking.

You know you are running out of patience waiting for your own MINI when you accelerate, swerve, and slow down to be able to drive up to and all around the MINI you see on the highway (in traffic).

Well Mini drivers are very much the same. I was just thinking about "you might be a mini owner if" and I found your list. Well I'm now going on to my next idea. GREAT Thread. :smile:

You know that you are a MINI owner…
  • When one of your two year old son's first words was MINI-car.
  • When he can spot one from 200 feet.
  • When you go and look at the empty space in the garage while it's away at the dealership for two days having the steering rack replaced.
