List the best thing about your mini whether it be the handling (of coarse) or the brakes or whatever.

I find that the best aspect of my mini (The Heinz) is the ability to work on it when ever I want and try and tweak a few extra pony's out of him.

Any way I think that I have converted my brother from being a fcuking VW wannabe driver (projest not complete) to a full time mini driver because now jonno (my brother) wants to sell his dub and get a different car and everytime I get him to take me somewhere he always asks if I want to go in the mini or the camry (other car) so I think that it is preety safe to say that he is well and truley turned to the good side of the force.

the constant grin factor when I'm behind the wheel, even if it's sitting at the lights

looking at that little face grinning away at you begging to be taken for a drive

squirting around town having an absolute ball under the speed limit

having other cars that the owners reckon should be faster than you go past at 65-70 in a 60 zone just cos you left them at the lights

how people who don't know about minis just don't understand, then when you let them drive they can't believe it

Playing the old "the car's broken down trick" on a very hot chick when your dizzy floods with water when it's pissing down with rain.

I'd have to agree with the everyone checkin it out!

Random people coming up to talk to you about it is also pretty cool.. sometimes it's just annoying.

Also when you get a thumbs up, or a wave from another 'classic' car... not just a mini.. thats always good!

I had always wanted a mini purely because of how they look. It's an ageless design.
Since getting one, everything else is a bonus.

The youth factor, no matter how old you are you feel like a teenager again when you get behind the wheel 8)
