MAKING ROOM FOR ROMANCE IN YOUR MINI

Fig. 18 Holding hands while shifting lets you motor along in your relationship:
First gear. Second gear. Third gear. Nothing but green lights.

Public Displays of Affection (P.D.A.)
Highly encouraged. You and your designated significant other
take your MINI out for a wash and buff on a bright sunny
Sunday for the whole world to see. “Yo, people, get a garage!”

The Backseat: An Introduction
Your MINI’s spacious backseat and rear cargo area means
there’s plenty of room to comfortably accommodate everything
you need to rev up the romance in any relationship – from
long-stem roses and heart-shaped helium balloons by the
dozen – to a 36” large-screen TV with both rear seats folded
down. (Degree of romance may vary with relationship mileage.)

Making out in your MINI
The backseat. The front seat. Be spontaneous. Refer to factory-
authorized owner’s manual for window defogger operations.

Unisex chivalry
Who cares if men and women are from different planets?
Come down to Earth and open the dang door. It’s the polite
human thing to do.

Tip for shameless flirting at red lights
Substituting the words "olive juice" for "I love you" when
lip-synching your affections through the window achieves
the desired effect, and could potentially save you from messy
verbally-binding legal entanglements down the road.

Dating tips for married people
Your MINI can be a great source of
escape from the ruts of everyday life.

1. Make a hot date. With your spouse.

Act like complete strangers.

2. Remove child seats (if applicable)

and 9-to-5 baggage.

3. Motor around block and pick her up

at "her place". (Or pick him up at "his
place" – owner gender and romantic
orientation may vary.)

4. Catch dinner and a movie. Or motor

to the nearest scenic overlook and
catch a sunset.

MINI Prenuptial Agreement:

Substituting birdseed for ceremonial rice
on wedding day may invite unwanted
aerial bombardment of your MINI’s
lustrous factory finish. But it’s the right
thing to do.

altar, and elope in your MINI.
