You know you’re a MINI enthusiast when;
* You always park facing down hill

* The Bloke at the parts store;
gets a silly grin on his face when you walk in
is listed as a dependent on your tax form
sends you a get-well card if you haven't bought a part
for two weeks recognises your voice on the phone

* You buy a parts car and not even you! believe you will wreck it.

* You get into a car and are surprised;
when all of the instruments work
you can carry on a conversation without shouting
by it's not needing oil, brake fluid, coolant......

* You get into a car and are NOT surprised by;
a spare battery
a tool kit that fills half the boot
a slightly singed instrument panel

* You actually like the smell of WD40.

* You call RAA and THEY recognise your voice

* You look under the bonnet and see;
more duct tape than hose
more electrical tape than wire
more oil than metal

* You tell your wife/partner the reason you were out to 3AM, is that your car broke down and she believes you

* The people you live with are no longer bothered by sitting down to dinner, and sharing the table with carburettors

* You pay more visits to the parts store than to the petrol station or supermarket.

* You entertain your closest friends in the garage, and they find nothing unusual in your choice of venue.

* Your car makes a funny noise and you know at once;
what is wrong how much the part(s) will cost what tools will be required how long it will take to repair.

* Your Generator dies, so you just pull one off the pile in the garage.

* You distrust any one named Lucas.

* You believe that Lucas' first name is "F***ing"

* You wash your hands before working on your car so you don't get the engine compartment dirty.

* People ask you how many cars you own, and the answer contains fractions.

* You plan 4 hours for a trip - 3 for travel and 1 for repairs.

* Any discussion of a trip contains references to break-downs.

* When getting ready for a trip, you pack more supplies for your car than for yourself.

* You supposedly bought the car to attract members of the opposite sex, but no longer have the time or money to go out on a date.

* You know about the hole into the 4th dimension in the engine compartment that swallows 1/2" X 9/16" spanners

* You know that:
A "Bonnet" is not a lady's head covering
A "Hood" does not cover the engine
A "Spanner" does not span anything
A "Boot" is not footwear for cowboys

* You return to your car in a car park, notice there is no oil underneath,and immediately assume the sump is empty.

Someone posted it before but I just couldn't stop laughing again - its so true that it hurts.

Sooooo True!
How many of us describe the number of cars we own in fractions?
I have one & two Halves!

I think the if you go into a shop, ans come back and your car is laying on its roof, then you know you are a mini driver.

Ah but if you move the coil well away so it stays dry, you don't need the WD40 anymore!!

Yeah, but move the bloody coil, too.
The Nissan coil wires will reach nicely to the RH inner guard- U just need to buy a 500mm HT lead from Supercheap!
