Thought I would share something with you all that happened to me tonight. I wentto the UGC Cinema in Dundee, parked my Pepper white (away from all other cars, as usual) and when I returned I was accompanied by a yellow mini on one side and a red one on the other. Both minis looked great, one had mini club and mini clan stickers. I wish I had had my camera with me! This is the first time something like this has happened to me in the new Mini.

Just wondered if eiher car belongs to anyone from NMS?

This happens to me a fair bit! I park well away from all the door-banging, bumper-scraping, useless-driving nutters out there, and very often come back to find I'm surrounded by other Mini's!! :D It happened tonight at Tesco - came back to find a red and a purple Mini not too far away.

If I can't get a space on my own, I'll very often park next to another Mini, as I feel they'd be more careful not to damage my wee baby!

This happens to me all the time too! I mean I parked in the cap park at Braehead MILES away from anybody and then Smurf parks next to me. ;)

Perhaps supermarkets should have special MINI parking spaces, not as long but wider.....

First time I ever went away in my MINI (Apr 2002) was with my mate who also had a BRG cooper. Parked at Nevis Range went up the cable car - came back to find we had another two friends alongside. The same thing then happened in Oban the following day! Happened many times after that - very sociable cars MINIs! :D

BDM, I shall see if your proposals will be accpeted at the Overgate 2 meeting today as I'm designing the car park!! Marks & Spencers are getting their own spaces, so why not minis!?;)

I always try and park next to minis, saves walking to far to flyer them!!:D:p

A certain mini owning moderator laughs at me when I try to park next to another mini!;)

I tend to park near other minis - for two reasons , one they tend to be more careful with their doors and not ding mine and secondly - like Julz its less distance to walk to stick a flyer on them :D
