"Do you know your thingy is hanging out of the door?"

 

>>>>Actually, the correct spelling is "nuculer"<<
>>Hey Vespa, I hope your Mini runs better than your spellcheck!
>>

This is one of the funniest threads I've seen. You'll have to forgive Vespa, he might be one a them there 'Grecians'

 

Why are you guys making fun of me? I didn't spell anything wrong.

"Does that thing do 70 (mph)?"

"It's like a remote control toy car, neat."

"Can I test drive your car?"

 

"Ever go to make a pork sausage and find it's got hairs growing all over it?" And then the guy gave me a look I'll remember till the day I die.

I had a police officer pull me over one day. I couldn't for the life of me guess why, I was sitting at a stop sign. My heart was in my throat when I rolled the window down and he asked: "Ma'm how much does that car cost and where can I get one?"

Whew!

This weekend I went a ride with my bike club. When I pulled up in the MINI, I got mobbed! No one could believe that I was able to put my bike in the car!

Life is never dull in a MINI!

I had a cop who was directing traffic come over to my MINI, look at the
speedometer, and ask me why it went up to 150 when "I'll bet this thing
can't even do 90"

Obviously, not the same cop that busted me in NH for doing 91...

This weekend at the meet, some school bus driver stuck his head out the window and said "Didnt those go out of style 40 years ago?"

Keep driving your school bus *** wipe.

 

:evil: :evil: :evil:

He's probably one of those types that drives a hip Nova.

Turdburgler.

 

isn't it bad enuf that he was driving a school bus?
that's worse than being a soccer mom!

 

Well, it was in the parking lot of a Sheetz in Wild, Wonderful, West by god Virginia:

"If you rub it, does it grow?"

and then... "Is there an engine in there?" (yes.) "Where?" (Bonnet) "You mean it fits? Is it a matchbox engine?" (Yes. And a matchbox supercharger, too...)

 

I am frequently asked "What kind of mileage do you get?". I reply"I don't know." because I don't know, and I don't care. I have over 7,000 miles and have NEVER checked my mileage! Isn't that great! I can drive for hours just for fun and have no concerns about the mileage. I could not say that when I drove my old 400 c.i. Firebird on student funds. :smile:

 

Just yesterday an older couple practically beat me down with questions while I was giving Cricket a shine. The first thing out of the man was, "What is it?" My answer, "A MINI Cooper." Followed with, "What's that?" Me thinking, "It's a car brainiac!" My real reply,"It's a British car put out by BMW." (that was me dumbing it down a bit as to not confuse him). Eeeek! I think I'm going to make up cards and just start handing them out with diagrams and definitions!

I don't know how many times I've been asked, "How do you like it?" I guess it's mostly an ice breaker for most people 'cause I'm pretty sure the ear to ear grin I've had for the last 8 months is pretty self explanatory!!!

 

I forgot one... and I'll try to put this tactfully because I really don't mean any offense.

I was in the left turn lane when a black gentleman driving a pristine black Lincoln Navigator pulled up along side, rolled down his window and with a distinctive, how can I put it? "ebonics accent" said; "Who makes dat? ...Su-ZOO-ki??

(I guess he saw the red "S&quot

The "Y"

 

"Which way to I-355?"

This took me totally by supprise, a totally non-mini related question!

 

One time I was driving down the street and this big cadillac with 20" gold daytons and mariachi music blasting came up beside me and there were 2 tough looking hispanic dudes riding in it, they looked over and I tried not to look or draw any attention (kinda hard when your in a MINI) and the passenger in the cadi said to me as we were goin down the street "Hey vato! how much was that *****!"

it was the funniest thing I've ever heard

 

Not at a light, but stopped for gas. A father was teaching his son how to pump gas. I step out of my Mini and the dad says Holy Cow! Look at the size of the guy that got out of that car!

I'm 6' 2" and 240 lbs.

 

Coincidentally after reading this thread yesterday - while stopped at a woman driving one of those stylish new Impalas asked me ...


"Is that a real car?"

 

Today a guy in a big panel van pulled up on my rider's side and motioned for me to open the window. "What IS that?" I told him. "Who makes it?" A division of BMW. "Is that a full sunroof?" Yup. "What does a thing like that set you back?" I gave him a clue. "Cool, I always wanted to know..." :smile:

 

want to race?
yup, see ya

 

A teenage girl asked me what it was. After I answered, she said, "It looks like an Urkelmobile."

 

>>A teenage girl asked me what it was. After I answered, she said, "It looks like an Urkelmobile."

an Urkelmobile? do they make that in Russia?

 

As I'm a builder,my car is frequently muddy from the mud on the streets.I was asked if the car was an off-road vehicle

 

I get alot of people asking how I like it, if it's good on gas. I've also had a few people who had no idea what it was ask me if it was a Chrysler! What is it about this car that makes people think it's a Chrysler? Is it just the retro-styling connection between the MINI and the PT Cruiser, or is it the wings logo?

 

This took the cake out of all the questions asked me..

"Who did the body kit on your Civic?"
