When you plan your route to specifically avoid speed bumps.

You know you drive a mini when you fix one thing and something else breaks

[Laaly_30]

...when the slightest non normal noise sets your mind worrying and praying you won't break down

when someone flashes you, you cant help but panic a bit incase somethings hanging off

Haha they are so true .

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

Haha, my mum says the Postman has stated caller her by her first name he comes to my house so much .

...your fingernails just don't stay clean, no matter what you'r doing... :S

*Ahem*

Your favourite scent is Autoglym.

You own more Mini accessories/tools etc than cosmetics.

You make a point of parking next to the biggest, flashiest car in a carpark, knowing full-well your Mini's going to get a lot more grins that the car next door.

You consider spending 9 hours cleaning the Mini to be a 'quick wash'

you know you drive a mini when you hear people walking past going "i used to have one of those......" followed by stories of all the good times they had in one!

one my neighbour said was "you know you have owned a mini, when you get in the habbit of parking uphill so all the fluids dont run out of it"


looking forward to roundabouts - so so so so so true!

also i considered driving to cornwall from the midlands via B roads! my friends told me to get screwed and insured me on one of their KAs instead

You know you drive a Mini when you never go anywhere without some assortment of tools in the back in case of emergency repairs en route

[*Raz*]

You look forward to roundabouts.

Myself and Monty have our own favorite roundabout !! Its pretty good in the Mx5 too!

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

And on your drive.....

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

sooo true! My dad said Im keeping mini spares in business

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

Oh I miss that!!

I am going to print this, frame it and hang it in the garage. Love it!

[james962]

You know you own a mini when overtaking becomes an art

when you go into a shop but keep on wanting to 'check in' on the cool mini in the carpark

when by habit you check the water and oil before every drive

when you fit more security devices than a top spec prison

when you park the other side of the car park just to park next to the other classic mini

when you can fit into really small spaces

[Pauly]

When new rattles dont bother you.

And the answer to any problem is to turn the radio up .

you know you have a mini when you have had a really really really bad day at work, but somehow the drive home manages to put a huge smile on your face, even if its only a couple of mins long!

[adam_mini]

You know you have a mini when your pockets are suddenly emptied and minispares are filled.
