Do you leave your MINI outside or do you bring it indoors when not motoring?

smiffy · Sep 21st, 2002, 11:41 AM

On the driveway

Ady · Sep 21st, 2002, 11:49 AM

I Don't have mine yet, but it will live outside on my drive, behind locked gates. There is nothing i would like more than to put it in my garage but its full

Most nites in the driveway. Have just emptied my garage (first time in five years) and car will be there this winter when severe weather is expected.

thegrommit · Sep 21st, 2002, 11:54 AM

My apartment (flat) has a parking space underground. Unfortunately, it's not-so-affectionately referred to as the swimming pool by other residents.

Smile4MINI · Sep 21st, 2002, 12:22 PM

Mine will be outside in my country driveway...exposed to the elements, tree sap and branches, bird droppings and God-forbid, vandals.

I'm very worried about him!!!!

xplode · Sep 21st, 2002, 12:49 PM

driveway and street are very different things, they should be two options. i wish i had a driveway to park it on, but living in an apartment i'm stuck with the street. oh, there's a designated "overnight" parking area for us, but those spots are so narrow i tend to move it in the morning to the street. less afraid of someone bumping into me while parallel parking than someone opening their door into me.

no dings yet...

gjenkins · Sep 21st, 2002, 01:21 PM

I have a nicely covered car port.

AidenL · Sep 21st, 2002, 01:56 PM

Driveway, but well off the main road anyway......

chiph · Sep 21st, 2002, 02:07 PM

I don't have mine yet, but it'll be garaged at home, and parked in a public deck at work.

Garage every night without fail. My wife even says goodnight to her!

warp · Sep 21st, 2002, 03:48 PM

GARAGE all the way!!!!!!!

NEMINI · Sep 21st, 2002, 04:20 PM

My Dad has insisted on my taking over of the garage for my MINI when it arrives.

sdmidget · Sep 21st, 2002, 04:32 PM

Garage always!!

But I need a bigger one (garage) - can fit the MINI and my MG Midget in it - but not much else!!

M.2 · Sep 21st, 2002, 06:52 PM

Always garaged and I can get to my garage from the house without going outside.

benggolf · Sep 21st, 2002, 07:27 PM

Lovingly garaged all the time. Never parked "just anywhere" when I take her out. Always try to park at a corner spot whenever possible away from.... POSs and "Senior Specials"!

No, I am not obsessed!

Unfortunately, not. I have 3 "babies" to take care of!

The other 2 are: SLK32 AMG and C320.

Keeping them all looking pristine is my full time job.

Bilbo Baggins · Sep 21st, 2002, 08:13 PM

To get it into my garage I'd have to move out the sailboards, the Laser, my motorcycle, four bicycles, two work benches, a table saw, a thickness planer........and a few other things.

Not in the garage, but it does get a spot in the driveway, well out of harms way. And a cover to protect it from the nice little birdies.

paddy · Sep 21st, 2002, 08:37 PM

every night and I have the option of parking in a garage at work. The problem with the garage at work is the pigeon's and well you can guess. Outside for now, but if there is even a hint of snow this winter it will be in the garage.
