It's OK to go out to the gradge late at night to do that "last one little thing"

It's OK to go driving with no particular destination at all...

41. It's okay to realize that your MINI pals have become some of your best friends.

42. It's okay to continue to dream of motoring in your MINI every night, even 4 years after first taking delivery.

43.

43. It's okay to constantly enter & exit the local "clover leaf"


..anybody else have one of these?

If you are joining MINI TAKES THE STATES then you are going to drive right under this leaving Dallas Texas on 8-26-06 traveling to Memphis.....I advise to make a few laps & then keep progressing East on I-30 towards Memphis.

44. It's OK to obsess over your MINI to others...well after they've heard enough.

45. It's ok to wait till late at night for parking lots to empty, just so you can create your own go-kart track.

Ok! I'll admit it! I do this. I really do, and my husband didn't know until just now. I park Eddie outside my office window so that I can look at him out the window. I just love looking at him when I'm at work. Keeps me going. AND I have my wallpaper on my desktop set to Eddie's configuration. AND I have a toy MINI on my desk that looks just like Eddie. AND I downloaded the MINI screensaver from the MINI USA website, so when my computer is idle for a while, the screen saver pops up with the cockpit of my MINI and tells me what day of the week it is and what time it is and reminds me that soon, oh so soon, I will leave work and motor home with Eddie.

It's OK. I have the right to be obsessed with all things MINI.

I keep reading this one trying to figure out what exactly Ken means by "with nothing on".

Thought I was loosing my mind because of how the Mini is treated so different than any previous vehicle. Want to reserve #50 to:

50. I'm OK, other Mini owners do it.

Don't jump to conclusions. I don't recall anyone saying Mini owners are "normal." It's just good to know certain, unique, behaviors are "OK."

47. It's ok to have a closet full of MINI shirts.

48. It's ok to speed up for curves while everyone else is slowing down.

49....

I think the numbers are right?
