1. You jump in one of your other vehicles for a change (in my case, a 1994 Jeep Cherokee), and immediately notice how SLOW the steering response is.

2. When driving this other vehicle, you keep looking at the center of the dash (like at the radio and climate controls) expecting to see the speedometer.

3. You wish you drove the Mini to work instead of the other vehicle.

You know you're a mini owner if...

...you go to a store to buy something and go for a drive afterwards with no destination in mind.

The ricer next to you finally catches up and gives you a dumbfounded "That thing's fast?!" look.

(If you autocross your MINI):

You can't look at an orange construction cone without mentally trying to figure out the best line around it.

You are in any other car and want to know what time it is, you get annoyed when you look above the rear view mirror, only to find an empty head liner.
