Umm... nope :lol:

In my case I think the habit started with single-leading-shoe 850 brakes.. even when properly adjusted, you needed everything they had :lol:

You know you're a mini owner when the light switch inside the front door of your house is covered in a fine coating of a certain black substance.

You know you're a mini owner when your heart leaps in delight every time you turn the key and it starts.

You know you're a mini owner when you drive your other half's car and forget to get out of 4th gear the entire time you drive.

You know you're a mini owner when your beer fridge in the garage (which is located directly behind your exhaust) has a black circle on the door.

You know you're a mini owner when the majority of items on your credit card statement are from mini suppliers.

You know your a mini owner when you make sure no one is watching when you have to scramble ungracefully and untangle your knees when you get out of your mini.

You know your a mini owner when you only have a small garden shed but have somehow managed to move a car shell inside it by yourself.
