I just thought I would start this thread to see how partners of Mini owners cope with the ups and downs on the Mini life ? what I mean is I don't own a mini but my partner does  and I often get called on to do this or do that ? which I don't mind well sometimes I don't ? I have owned about 4 mini's in my life and I loved them but not in the same way that you guy's do? to me it was like driving the ultimate go Kart and I use to whiz around all over the place in them, but I've moved on from them now  and drive something completely different, so tell me folks how do you fit in to your partners Mini life  ? |

It's abit different for you and Sam, you're both in my words "mini addicts". I was asking the question more for those partners who have either no interest in minis or very little. Thanks anyway!!

Minis have a habit of growing on you and worming their way into your life!
We had a Mini back in the 80s as a runabout when we got married. It got traded for a Metro (mistake) and then as our family grew we had bigger cars.
Around the turn of the millennium I got interested in classic cars, and my second acquistion was my Elf. Soon I bought my son a Clubman Estate - he liked it but his attention drifted off to his Capri until the cost of insurance raised its head!
Both daughters are Mini fans; Holly has had three and Linzie isn't yet old enough to drive. Adam is now on his second Mini (not including the estate).
Which leaves wife Jane, the last to tumble. It was this year's show season that finally did it. She enjoyed the Crich Mini Day so much that she decided she wanted one of her own - and came to IMM with us too. It was for her that we bought the Neon, which she had for only 1 day before Holly claimed it and now Adam owns! Jane is to have the Sky I am now restoring.
So yes, they ring all our bells!
