men driving mini coopers?....

Do men drive these?.... I like them but only see female drivers, I remember the old mini but can't remember them being monosexed....(is that a new word?)

bottom line .......dont want to be ridiculed in work.

Tends to be predominantly a female market, but I've seen plenty men drive them. Theyre not as girly as the VW beetles. One of my friends has a really old mini and he loves it.

Why would you care what people think anyway?

They're a bit gay in fairness

I think a man driving a micra or a Yaris is worse myself.

Youll be grand OP if you dont mind looking a right fanny.

Unless you are a hairdresser it's a no-no for a guy IMO.

Go for it. The mini cooper isn't girly, it's got a nice bit of grunt.

Don't forget to buy some oversized sunglasses if you decide to get a Mini

12-01-2013 06:48PM

OP, borrow one off a mate, they're quite good fun to drive.

Ed Winchester · 12-01-2013 06:49PM

Girls car. End of story!

Go for the mini cooper S with the John Cooper works and you'll be just fine.

You will be fine once your

blonde with hair tied up in a funny way, huge oversize sunglasses, Dundrum car park permit, latest fancy (pink) smartphone, oh and always carry a female passenger.

fruitman · 12-01-2013 06:51PM

Is it the old style mini or the new shape? I drove the new cooper s and that's a great car to drive. Standard mini I think is for girls, the cooper or cooper s acceptable for a guy to drive.

Boscoirl · 12-01-2013 06:52PM

Needs to be the Cooper S or JC Works

Then if anyone laughs at you at traffic lights, just floor it on green

Pottler · 12-01-2013 06:53PM

Girls always look way better in a mini. Blokes legs are waay too fat and hairy in fairness.

crackcrack30 · 12-01-2013 06:54PM

.....looks like it would be one giant step (too far) for mankind

If you let other peoples opinion dictate what you will drive (or anything you do in life for that matter) you are nothing but a fool. Do what ever the **** you want and **** what other people think.

Never ever make a purchase that might expose you to the conformist ridicule of your peers.

Just ask them for a list of acceptable car brands you ate allowed to purchase.

The King of Moo · 12-01-2013 07:10PM

Why would you care to impress people so stupid as to base their opinion of a person on the size of their car?

It's entirely irrelevant to what that person is like, and particularly stupid to judge a city-dweller on having a small car, which is much more practical for city driving than a small-penis compensator.

It'd be like me saying I'd never go out with a woman with a small handbag.

It's a question of discerning. I would like to make an educated decision in all cases and if I did end up realising that this thing I've just bought is a watered down version of the thing I should have bought then I'll feel like a dope. I've had all kinds of cars over the years from classic beetles to 280hp Subarus and all of them I knew what I was getting into and the compromises I was making, if any.

Icyseanfitz · 12-01-2013 07:13PM

nothing wrong with mini's in my opinion, the s-works versions go like stink

What people drive is all about perceptions for a lot of people.
