Banned from talking "MINI"

[cooper-minx]

Hi everyone!
I have been banned, in my household and by my friends, from talking about my new mini which I am collecting on Thursday 1 September ... yes only 5 days to go!!
I am not allowed to say "mini" or anything that could be related to "minis" ... if I do I have to put a £1 into a charity box each time and it is proving very expensive!
But I am just so excited that the word "mini" just keeps popping out of my mouth unexpectedly even when talking about things with no connection to cars.
Please help me ..... is this normal????

ABSOLUTELY! But not the part about being banned! Still, if it's for a good cause...

My wife and I have had our Minis since December, 2002, and we still talk about them every day!

by the way...
CONGRATULATIONS !

No, no photos yet. My dealer has told me that it has arrived and is about half a mile from the dealership being valeted etc. Will try posting some photos soon ... just can't wait!!
PS. When I say "banned", it is all in good humour and obviously for a good charity cause!

Sorry cooper-minx, you've already mention the word "****" 4 times on this thread and that means £4 I'm affraid

All your threads until arrival can discuss the matter, but you mustn't actually use the word "****".

Them's the rules

Yup that's totally normal . I've had my MCS for just over a year now & still talk about her all the time

Now, how to get them back....After you get your MINI, everytime your wife or friends say the word MINI,,,they have to put £1in your MINI Accessories Box...

Now let's see who has the most £1!!!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Join the club

It helps to be a bit of madness in you to own a MINI, and you are in good company here

Have fun and enjoy your MINI, hope to meet the two of you soon!

[Minnie Mouse]

Don't stop talking about your mini ever! Then again, you won't be able to

Enjoy your new baby

HAHAHA!

Congratulations cooper-minx.

I remember the same thing happening to me, but I was very lucky to have a friend who just got his MCS, so at least there was someone to relate to.

I am sure once you have your MINI you'll just end up driving it more and talking about it less. It's way more fun that way

[KPKalle]

OMG Banned even! Well there's no choice, say goodbye to the family and friends

[Grimbo]

Thing is, when you get your car.. you'll talk even more about it than when you were anticipating it! I've had mine 6mths now and I've not shut up about it yet!

Congrats! It could be worse though. You could be getting a Buick... HAHAHAHA!!! Erm...
