i really love these, it sums up mini owners to a T

an addition to the one that says 'people saying i used to have one of those'
i was driving down the street with the window open the other day, and i heard a little kid go i want one of those!!!! to his mum. he was only about 4 or something

i followed a mini practically all the way to his house once and at the traffic lights he hung out of the window to wave when he saw me

Despite many times trying to move on to bigger/more modern cars, you've been hopelessly addicted and obsessed for years and you're resigned to the fact you'll always love Issi's finest.

You know your a mini owner when youve swapped your shower gel for swarfega.

Or you go through hundreds of latex gloves every year.

• The smell of petrol becomes reassuring
• You always offer to drive, unless its raining
• When you park, you walk away backwards
• Your car not only has a name but it responds to it
• You will never look at BMW minis the same way
• Fluid checks happen every 3 days not 3 months
• 13" wheels are big
• When out, you look at small places and wonder if you could park in them
• You will never trust a petrol guage

I am sure there are more

Ummm Petrol...I am always turn back and looking at my mini, I Love driving past big shop windows so i can see my Mini haha LOL

You're not alone, because they are like a family pet and much more than just a car.

... each rattle and bang means something different. Some are good, but then you hear another that, to your passenger sounds the same as the last 20, but no this one means there's something wrong...
