mini punch?

[ayohell]

I've noticed this more and more recently, when I pass Kids in my car they punch or pinch each other when the first one cries 'mini punch' ... It also seems to happen with yellow cars... so owning a yellow and white cooper is a double whammy!
can I also mention that as a driving instructor I can go around the same block a few times as 'practice'? ........... makes for some great roadside fights!

has anyone else noticed this going on or is it a north west of england thing?

Never seen that, but I'm just imagining a MINI run going past these kids

I've seen this quite a lot! drive past a load of kids, they all stare and then start to punch each others arm! quite funny really! I've done it with yellow cars! but its more like a slap than a punch, also done that with old beatles and BT vans!

Does it make me a bad person that I'd be tempted to drive past them 2 or 3 times?

[TonyM]

Yes its a new game - I was talking to a freind's kids a while back and they told me the rules.

If you see a MINI you are allowed to pinch or punch your mate

If you see a yellow MINI you have won

Makes you want to keep driving round the block

Ahhh, this woman I was speaking to a while back mentioned this 'mini punch' business. Nice to know she wasn't completely bonkers!

I was waxing my new MINI and my neighbor came over and told me her kids are excited I got a MINI. I guess their father gives them $.25 for every MINI they see when they go fro a drive. As long as I keep my garage door open they could make a lot of money!

Ask the Dad to start paying you to keep the garage shut

If you drive past a school bus of kids a full on fight often breaks out round here
not that its a rough area or anything, there are just a lot of MINI's

[minicabrio]

find two kids that play the game and book them in for a factory tour......!!

hehehe, I am cruel!

[Klayre]

I like your thinking, Minicabrio!

[StitchMINI]

I haven't seen that happen in CA. But I have had little kids get very excited seeing my car, yelling out "MINI!!".

I know of two games that involve slugging each other.

#1 Slug Bug - Simple enough, hit someone when you see a bug.

#2 Out of State License Plates - Again, hit someone when you see a car with a out of state license plate. Especially fun playing in Las Vegas or Disneyland.

Can't wait til' the MINI one catches on here though.
