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"...

The most common term would probably be MINIacs...

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?".

MiniAdventurer · May 18th, 2004, 04:53 PM

do all your friends really think it's cool that we go on runs and stuff

my non MINI friends think it's really odd

Some of them wonder, but I figure, bu99er 'em. If they don't get it, it's because they've never had a car that inspires it.
