Just wondering who parks next to other MINI's when they go shooping or do errands, and there is another MINI in the parking lot, or do you park far away from other MINI's? I myself usually park as close as I can that way I can check out another MINI, How about you????
Yes...particularly if it's obvious that the preexisting MINI has enjoyed lots of TLC from its owner. Not only is it an opportunity to "share the love" but it's likely that the other enthusiast is just as averse to door dings as you are. It's some built-in safety margin on the common boundary. :wink:
I try to park next to other Mini's whenever possible. We parked our two together at a restaurant one evening and when we came out there were three others grouped with ours.
Same here...I enjoy parking next to other MINIs when I can find them, and esp. if they're well kept. A guy here at the office has a darlk blue / silver custom paint R50, I stopped and said hello one morning. I'd park next to him, but he always parks near the trees (that "spit", sap or honeydew or something, and it's a B to get off!).
I'll only park next to another MINI if they "get it" and don't park so dang close to the other cars. The MINI must park bonnet out too. That's just part of the code of MINI ethics that must be obeyed!
Other MINIs seem to find me! Last week, walked out of the local convenience store to see this blue R53 parked next to my car And in May while traveling to NY for business, found my car surrounded by two 'verts in the morning in the hotel garage.
I park next to other Minis when I can so they can see how clean a Mini should be kept.:smilewinkgrin:
Come hang out with me for a while at my place then you will see why I can't keep it clean like yours!
I do it as well. Actually, one parked next to me at work the other day and I got all excited, wondering who's it was. Never saw it again though, must have been a visitor. :sad:
