Help!! Can't stop driving it!

[Professor Peach]

Help, I can't stop driving my MINI!!

I've had it a fortnight now and I've done over 1,500 miles! And it's only a mile to work (and I often walk that!!)

I just love it, I can't get enough of it. I'm only not driving it now because I've forced myself to stay in tonight (and that's mainly because I cleaned it this morning. Then drove it. Then had to clean all the blimmin bugs off of it. If I go out now I'll only need to clean it again and the neighbors will think I'm insane..!)

Does the obsession wear off after a while...? (Please tell me it does).

4 years, 2 MINIs and a total of 55,350 miles later and can tell you....














it doesn't wear off! Sorry

1500 miles in a fortnight whoa that's some mileage seeing as though work is so close to you!!

[Tracie]

Taking the long way to work are you??

[Electric Sheep]

Just think how much you're spending on petrol! That'll put a dampener on things.

Quick answer - no

31,000 miles in 17 months is my obsession - only do 25 miles a day for work...

It's a bloody great obsession though

I picked up my '06 Cooper S Checkmate last wednesday, so not even 1 week ago - we've now covered 1051 miles together ......and I only live 4 miles from work

Happy MINIing folks

No, not for many...................has lasted over 30 years for me if you include the classic Mini obsession I still have, if anything the new MINI is more addictive because you can have the same fun drives but over longer distances (more refined / less tiring than the original !)

Nice one, will you be at Surrey this month? Get this one on the rollers early rather than the week or so before you sell it

I won't make it to Surrey - it will be on the rollers down at AmD for the charity day

Obsession NEVER wears off! Ive had my mini now for nearly 3 years, and I still love driving it as much as the first time I got it!

funny thing is, is I convinced the misses mum to buy a Mini ONE, and when she test drove it, I told her that once she engages first gear and pulls away, she will be in love and will put a deposit down! after 30mins we got back to the dealers and she was screaming for the dotted line!

What you need to do is get pished, then you can't drive.

Win win if you ask me

[Mull3t]

But has anyone ever found that sometimes, you'd rather offer to drive than have a drink? just so you can drive it?.....or is that just.....me?
