I would have ticked all too, but unfortunately the cops don't always just stop me for a look

Where's the "None" selection? I think most people these days cant even differentiate a classic Mini from a BMW Mini, so now its just another car on the road. |

Probably around 2. People often ask questions at the lights, and I occasionally get a thumbs up from a random pedestrian. Because it's a clubman van, I have been asked what it is a few times. The youth of today... P platers seem to think it's "f'n sick". |

Oh yeah, I forgot to put "none" in... whoops
I was driving out of the highpoint shopping centre car park one night and had a couple ask me to stop so they could take a picture. The funniest for me was seeing 3 cars consecutively slow for a red light, stop, look at the car, then drive forward. Actually I had a chick in a done up swift, chat to me while stopped at lights Said she was part of the mini club as a matter of fact... Anyone know someone with the number plate swiftn? lol |

I went to supercrap in the red mini a month back for oil. Three people accosted me before I was able to walk in the door. One claimed to have owned Cessnas in WA back in the 60s and had Peter Manton as a pilot. Wtf? |

I pulled into the auto parts shop and when I came out there was two guys standing above it saying .. "mm nice looking Cooper S" .. Shame I don't own a Cooper S but was still nice to have people gorking at it. Then when I was putting in my dash cards some old lonely bat from across the road came over and started ranting about back in her day. Now normally I wouldn't had minded some random conversation cept for the fact she looked 80 and asked if she could take it for a drive.

I wouldn't expect an Aborigine to be able to differentiate between the two either! 
I get kids pointing and smiling at it.. people offering to buy it in carparks etc (when I ask for $10k that shuts them up - one day I will get lucky though!).. and the usual old guys who used to own a cooper S... The best was two HOT women in their 30s at a Cafe on Elizabeth St waving at us when we pulled up at the lights.. My mate was gobsmacked, we were only about 22 back then! This was in a tatty old Clubman GT!! but god it made an fantastic noise going between the buildings in the CBD.. almost like a Harley! Oh i get asked phone numbers at the lights a lot too... it must be the car, not me, as it doesn't happen in the nissan! |

The people in my home town are used to my minis but since I got the Moke the rubber necking has started again. And the kids love it.

Anyone who goes to Hay should be able to tick all boxes, but for an everyday answer i picked 2. Once in a servo a bloke approached me and asked me how the mini is going, he said it like we were old friends though we had never met

Last weekend I gave the Moke a short test run to Bunnings and back. At the first lights a guy on a Harley pulled up beside me to chat and wanted to buy it. At the second lights I got a wave and a thumbs-up from a early-20's girl in a riced-up Lancer. In the bunnings carpark a guy in a tidy TA22 Celica pulled in beside me, had a look and told me it was a "Grouse Car." On the way home I drove past some kids playing football on the road. One of them yelled out "What the f**k is that? It's soooo cool!". That's just one journey! Never have I owned a vehicle that so many people love. (Yes, I had a permit for Sat and Sun Davo! All legal.  )
