Mini I Win
nick205 - 20/2/12 at 02:12 PM

Game we play with the kids, which has become very addictive and highly competitive to the point of family arguments.

Simply...see a Mini and shout "Mini I Win" and get a point (double points for a "real" Mini). The same Mini can be used more than once; e.g. spotting a parked one on a return trip to the shops. We've developed further by assigning extra points for ones with white or chequered lids.

Sounds daft, but I'll bet it sticks if you start

Play similar one with eldest.

Mum Dad and Jnr have to pick a colour and type of Car for example Silver BMW and count them as you go.

Sounds like the yellow car game. Sort of self explantory really lol.

Similar to Gas van, much fun

nick205 - 20/2/12 at 02:28 PM

Aye, variation on a theme...it's the speed, volume and vengence with which you can scream "Mini I Win" that makes it for us though!

I should add that it developed into ultimate gas van where the object was not to be the last in the group to shout it.
If you were the last, you'd be subject to a mild beating on the upper thighs.

Edit
Just re read the above and sounds well wrong,

My family do the same on long trips down to Cornwall, but with type 2 campervans, as I really want one.

Another variant I feel my kids might enjoy playing

We used to make up "menu" items from the Reg number

i.e A123 CWB would get Custard with Banana

We went to Newcastle today from Derbyshire and if you got a punch for every Stobart wagon we saw on the way there and back you would be black and blue, there's thousands of them about now.

Sound like mini mini bash bash that my kids play (now banned from the car !! ) where they punch each other and shout mini mini bash bash when they see a mini...

Now imagine doing it while stood about 500m from the depot!
