more than likely done before but still...

You know you drive a mini when:

You can't help smiling every time you walk towards your car.

You look forward to roundabouts.

You drive 5 miles in the wrong direction behind another mini just so you can be in convoy.

On frosty mornings you have to drive with the window open to demist the windscreen, even though the heaters on.

If you have passengers you can't make it over the speed bumps without scraping your exhaust.

You know you drive a mini when you pull away and leave an oil slick in the parking bay.

When you get excited about buying car parts.

Your garage not only know your name, your cars name, they also know your credit card details by heart.

The postman is getting sick of delivering big boxes from mini spares and asks if you're building another from scratch.

You know you drive a mini and own a Mini cause no matter how much you swear, shout and cry you can never fall out of love with them.

When you class the weather as being 'the mini will start' and 'the mini won't start'.

When you have to reach upwards to get the ticket out of the car park machine.

If you have passengers the windows steam up.

You carry a screwdriver bit in your wallet to adjust the fuel mixture.
