Somehow it doesn't seem right that there isn't a thread for MINI spottings in the area. (The CMMC folks have a strong thread going! ) For me, at least, it's rare to spot one when I'm tooling about, so any spotting is pretty notable.
Today I spotted two--and got two wave-backs!
Hwy T by GE Healthcare--PS MC, vanity plates
by Wal-Mart--BESSIE! (It's like a brush with greatness.)
Good times. Looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday!

I was thinking of starting this very thread about 3 days ago, but didn't because I won't have my beast back on the road until this weekend (after a long winter's nap:impatient).
So, thank's for starting it up!

Thanks for starting this up...like others, I've been meaning to get one going here. Problem is, in Wauwatosa, there are lots of little MINIs running around. Anyway:
BRG MC parked on State St. across from the 'Tosa Chancery aroun 9:30AM today. Unfortunately, no one to wave at.
Please be sure to print out a few of the Milwaukee MINI membership fliers from the http://www.milwaukeeMINIS.com so that if you happen to see a parked MINI, you can put a coupon on their wind shield. This is the best way to promote the Club and get new members. Membership is still free!
I saw about 70 MINIS today in a wide variety of colors at Jelly Belly in Pleasant Prairie, followed by lunch in Kenosha! If you missed today's adventure, be sure to check out the website and attend one of our next events! ;)
SB (I think - may have been a dirty AB) MCS around 76th and Wisconsin Ave - no wave in return -(Despite having a combined approach speed of ~30mph and me waving for a good 5 seconds, she was in her own little world and unaware of her surroundings)
CR/W MC shortly thereafter @ 86th and Wisconsin Ave - no wave, but we crested the hill at the same time so limited visibility time.
Spied many more @ IA when I dropped off Moe for his new engine mount (but they don't count).

In my defense, I was more concerned about the chica in the GrandAm that cut me off to make a quick turn into Metro Market. Inside the store, she later also cut in the check out line. Quite annoying. So sorry I didn't wave, but I felt the need to be more attentive in front of the MINI! As long as I am confessing my soul, I would also like to note that last week I didn't wave at Mr. Wauwatosa GP because I was on my cell phone.
By the way, where have you been? Now that you are married, you can't come out to MINI events anymore? We've missed you!

I guess I can forgive you this time.
I saw that GranAm cut you off... ooooh does it make me angry to see other minis get cut off!
Jen and I have been absolutely terrible with making it out to MM events. Between getting married and the Bears in the playoffs and Super Bowl (we're huge Bear fans btw and were at the games) and family stuff we haven't had much time for anything!
We're going to be among those representing Milwaukee at MOTD, but the next 2 ice cream socials we already have in our calandars.
