I know it's illegal but i like driving barefoot. Used to do it alot when i was younger.
   Lizzie in stillies??? With a whip??? Walk on me!!!!!! ::) ;D ;D :D
I know someone from college who ALWAYS drives barefoot, he says its not illegal  :-?


Anyone know if it is or isnt legal to drive barefoot?

TIA.   :y

Why would it be, it's legal to drive in high heels and that could perhaps be a little dangerous, but so could a clumpy pear of boots in the wrong vehicle. I went through a stage a few years ago of using stocking feet. :y


have you ever driven a Mini in wide flip flops ::)

Driven many a Mini, but not in flip flops, sounds like a recipe for potential disaster.... :) :)


tried to drive my sisters cooper (not a bmw but a proper mini) the over day and would have found it easrier bare foot - the pedals are Sooo close together (if you got flip-flops on) ::)

Taken as a matter of fact. Had you forgotten or not driven a mini before. Funnily enough I keep looking at a Mini at work, trying to remind myself of the many many miles I Have driven in a wide range of Minis over many years. ;D ;D ;D

I've only ever driven one! And that was only for about 100 yds down the car park at work!

You have really missed something there Andy! :o :o :o

Learnt to drive and passed my test in a mini, then owned a Wolsey Hornet version once.  Great fun cars, that every one should have the chance to enjoy before they disappear :'( :'(.

No Andy, you'd be surprised :D :D.

There is one that I see here in Ashford, plus I have noted others when driving further afield.  The other Elf version I have also had the pleasure seeing in a number of locations.

The truth is all mini's, as well as the other versions, are still well loved and treasured.  So many are now 'classic cars' that are sought after. :-* :-* :-* :-*   But of course they will become very rare in not many years from now! :'( :'( :'( :'(

A friend of mine is selling a mini,1989 30th anniversary model.
His mother in law owned it from new,but they have just persuaded her to stop driving as she is over 90.Its in good nick and probably never been over 40mph. 8-)

My first car was a 1963 half-timbered Mini Countryman (383 AOW)
Since then I owned several saloons, a mini-van & best of all a mini pick-up in which we went on honeymoon, picking up 2 hitch-hikers in Salisbury taking them all the way to Yeovil. (boy did they get cold in the back!) :)
