How many MINIS do you see in one day?

I just want to start this and see what we come up with. I'm just curious to see how many MINIS people see in their daily activities/commutes. Try and keep track and post how many you see in a day and what areas you're in...

One. Mine! Very few Minis around here. I'll see a bunch at the "Bloody Awful" launch this evening though.

In San Francisco, I easily see more than a dozen... in one hour. In many parts of the city (including my neighborhood), it is not unusual to stand in one spot and see 4 parked MINIs.

I can go days, sometimes months, without seeing another MINI during my commute or running around town. Sometimes the only other time I see MINIs is during our club events.

Syracuse NY, I'll be lucky to see 1 a day, usually 3-4 a week tops.
But if I drive over to Rochester (which is the home of the nearest Mini Dealership) I'll usually see at least 4 on the highways just going into and back out of the city.

Orlando, FL - I know there are a ton of them here, but I see "maybe" 1 a day on a good day. Today I saw 2 and I was very happy about that! haha.

I was in Miami recently and MINI are EVERYWHERE.

Here in Melbourne I see 6 or so on an average day if I go out driving ... retired, so some days I never leave the roost.

New to the MINI scene, so I just recently started paying attention to them. I've noticed about 1-2 per day in my area (SE VA). I've even caught myself trying to chase them down on the freeway just to admire them.

There's a few Focus ST's where I am at... Baltimore & Southern, PA.

Focus ST = my nemesis, lol?

MINI's, 3 tops.. average 1 or 2 from my daily commute. Most of the time they wave at me at least I hope they are...

Orlando Area I see an easy dozen a day.

I went to the post yesterday at 11 on a Friday and there was three in the lot if you count mine!

Get out by UCF and you will ALWAYS see another one at the light.

Ten's a good guess. I might be counting some twice.
