Wow witht he sndwavian interpretation this is a sign of some serious road rage.

You know you own a MINI if you understand what that last comment meant.

 

Yes and to all of the above. (not necessarily sndwavian, but maybe...)

You know you're a MINI owner if after you park it, you look back over your shoulder for one last admiring look at your MINI before going indoors.

 

When you know the differance (and can explain it to others) between "driving" and "motoring"

When you keep yourself updated on all vehicle statistics and can provide them without hesitation to parking lot / gas station admirers

When you jump out of the middle of a crowd to wave at a passing MINI. (also when you're in a G35 and wave at a MINI and get a look back, as long as your name is "kenchan")

When warranty repairs are considered "quirks"

When EVERY turn of the key puts a smile on your face

When you have a serious opinon as to which is more effective a CAI or HAI.

If you've uttered the phrase "ditch the run-flats"

If when you think Dragon neither video games, nor folkore come to mind.

If you know that just because a MINI may be PINK it can still hang with the rest of the crowd, even when the driver is wearing a tiara.

Crap is a good thing.

Your SO ethier drives the same car as you (another MINI) or insists your crazy but knows not to complain (and secretly remains jealous of your second love)

Motoring can out do any thrill from a rollcoaster

You've had passengers warn you of potential vomiting or soiling as a result of whiptatic handling

You know what the phrase room in a MINI means in the eyes of MINI.ca and of considered testing the theory.

You will stop inspect and report counterfit MINIs, and watches a piano with bonnet stripes and a shed with a checker mirror caps attempt to navigate a corner.

You insist CARS is missing one very important character.

You did not watch the Italian Job to see Charlize Theron or "Handsome Rob" but instead to see the MINIs tear up the storm drains. (And have fantiszed about doing the same)

Your hood scoop is functional

You are cautious when opening the bonnet around airports at night.

It is without arguement a bonnet, a boot, a spanner, atorch, a windscreen and PETROL.

Your lost when you try to photograph something other than a MINI.

You have sat in the garage witht he lights on just taking in the awe of your MINI sitting in the garage.

Your car actually makes you go weak in the knees as you walk across an empty parking lot towards it.

You sucessfully start a MINI club 100 miles away from the nearest dealer.

You have all the colors and they're abbreviations memorized, can differentiate between them, and know which ones are still in production.

You can identify the differance between an MC and an MCS and what year it is in less than 30 seconds

When given the option the top will be down even though it is 20 degrees and snowing.

You have attempted to see if you can drive fast enough to remain dry with windows down and sunroof/roof open.

You will wear MINI Motoring gear over that of an exotic car company.

You often forget just how many mods you have done and are hard pressed to list them all. Or you are devout that your MINI will remain stock and not have a single non-OEM part tarnish its natural beauty.

You have compared at least one line of the car to that of the female anatomy (mainly the guys but I know some gals have done it too)

You are member to at least 3 forums related to MINIs and are active on at least one if not more of them.

Thats all I have at the moment I'm sure I can come up with more later.

 

You have an elf? I want one, too! Is it OEM?

 

Fixed I should be sleeping now! :impatient

Although I did hear mention of aftermarket Gnomes doing some holiday mods this week.

 

You know you're a MINI owner if you spend more time washing your car, than you spend washing yourself

 

My MINI has no clock above the rear view mirror, but my Dad's Trailblazer does.

 

Yes! My TIJ disc is almost always in my computer, and when I play it, I go to 'scene selection' and start at either 'bring on the minis' or 'gridlock.'

 

You know you're a Mini owner when someone (usually a dude) comes up to you and the first thing out of his mouth is: How many miles per gallon do ya get with that thing? (I should tell them about 67 mpg. just to watch their faces. )

 

You know you're a MINI owner when, after almost 3 years of ownership, you still study your car's lines everytime it's in your sight, and sometimes go out to it to do it some more.
