(1) Ingenious economical surface transporter, and Britain's answer to fuel rationing. Manufactured in various forms between 1959 and 2000, the Mini epitomized practical simplicity more than any other British automobile. Affordable and versatile and easy to maintain, the Mini was loved by everyone from florists to plumbers to rally racers. Over 5.3 million were built by the end of it's production run.
(2) Bloated ugly status symbol, and quite common in American upscale neighborhoods. Manufactured from 2001-present, the Mini Cooper epitomizes trendy poor taste and virtual uselessness more than most any other modern automobile. Pricey, fragile, and expensive to maintain, the Mini Cooper is favored by upper-middle class females for it's supposed cuteness. Far too many have been built already.

To be minied is to see what appears to be an empty car park space only to find on closer inspection there is a small car in it (like a mini) .
This is the annoying scenario when on a full car park you become excited as you see the end of a space with no car there. You smile, accelerate, turn your wheel only to see a mini or micra or smart car neatly parked taking up the half of the space you couldnt see hence the term "minied". This leads to Parking rage , swearing and stress .
