Which Other Cars Are Most Jealous of your Mini

[Ciaran Darcy]

Just wondered...I have noticed that everybody out there loves the new mini (even the thieves that nicked mine). However, I do often detect a hint of jealousy from two other cars in particular:

The Ford Puma (coz the Mini Cooper hammered it in a comparative test in Auto Express or Top Gear...can't remember which).
And...
The (new) VW Beetle (can't figure that one....maybe its because the Mini took over from it in the Desirable&Affordable stakes or maybe they're just regretting buying a golf in drag).

What other cars do you think don't like the Mini?

don't know whether you have 'em (I suspect not) - the PT Cruiser.

Yep Although some people think a black MINI looks like a London Taxi from the back

I don't think the old Mini likes the new MINI!

I think the black PT cruisers look a little like a designer herse.



Aplogies any PT cruiser owners out there.

There's nothing more satisfying than pulling up next to a Saxo VTR or VTS and seeing the face of the spotty, baseball cap-wearing scally with his bassbox booming just drop as his equally scally schoolie girlfriend with sovereign rings and huge hoop earings gives an admiring glance. Absolutely priceless!!

You've seen my brother in his VTR then

I might be on a nice little earner if everyone thinks my black MINI is a taxi !! Itll be hard to get the back doors open though !!

I gotta say...that is such a bang-on description of your typical VTR/VTS driver! You just forgot the eye-ring, nose ring, tongue piercing!

O!!! liked that

not sure about jealous looks, but i get looked at like i just stole the car

ar no wrong subject, nevermind i thought this thread was about ppl, anyways err i think the lupo gti is a bit jealous cos their the same kind of fashiony car- but not as nice of course

[KarmanS]

I think any hot-hatch (namely golf, clio, civic, and the like) should be quite jealous

My boss is jealous of my car.....he has just got a New 7 Series and he wants a MINI to play in, but the funny thing is his wife won't let him! haha!
