You must obviously take a different route than I do. I consider myself very lucky if I see 3 or 4 a week on my commute.

I see anywhere from none to 5 MINIs on my normal commute to work. Depends on traffic.
I still give a wave to MINIs I do see. A Pepper White MINI I see fairly often has been conditioned to wave back a me now. We don't know each other personally, but we wave at each other when we see each other now. This morning I saw only 1 MINI on my way to work, I waved and almost caused the the driver swerve off the road. She was surprised to be waved at and tried to wave back

Doesn't matter how many MINIs are on the road (and in some areas here, there are lots of em), I still love driving my car

You'll have to buy an Audi R8 next time - I hardly ever see those!

Or the fact that I have a 5 year lease is the reason I've kept it so long.
Plus most of the repairs, (with the exception of the door lock) were covered under warranty.

I will never own an Audi. If I wanted a volkswagen I would buy a volkswagen...

The nice things about MINIs is that they are so customizable. So you can change yours to look different from all the other MINIs out there.

Oh come on, they do look cool an you liked the fact that the MINI was unique.

Except maybe this one:

Creepy! Audi R8 burns on a street in Germany | Auto Unleashed

Ouch!

Ouch! I admit that they do look cool, but I would still never buy an Audi.

Ah, drove to Edmonton today, saw two Minis on route and parked beside an R8 at lunch time, those R8's are a dime a dozen , I still think Minis's rule. I tried the Audi A3 last year at the Mini Challenge, though not on the same scale as the R8, I am on track with CLiVE, nice car but my S is better.

On another note to beken comments, I just wish more Mini owners would wave back, we need to start a movement to greet are fellow Mini owners, as we all drive quirky little cars and need to stick together.

After looking at the pictures of the burned out R8, I wouldn't be parking too close!
