Names for Mini fans

Came up in conversation with a non-mini friend: "What do you call other Mini fans? Y'know, like Star Trek fans are Trekkies/Trekkers, that sort of thing".

Only suggestion we came up with over a pint was "ministers"...

we're all crazy, I think (in a good way!)
MINIacs is good I like it!!!!
When i tell my friends about MINI meets, they look at me like i have a wang growing out of my forehead. i think it's jealousy...

I think Let's Motor was a US only by-line, so doesn't hold the same impact here in the UK.

MINIacs is pretty cool.

Most people I know think it's pretty cool that we all hook up for runs.

My wife calls us all a bunch of MINI-Dorks!

As in "Where are you and all your MINI dorks going to aimlessly drive this weekend?".
