Hi folks. I'm another newbie MINI owner, but no stranger to on-line car forums. I previously owned a supercharged BMW M Roadster and a TurboXS Stage 4-equipped Subaru WRX. Prior to that, I owned one of the first supercharged Acura Integra's backin the day. Sold the cars when we moved from DC/VA to NYC. Having just moved to the LA region, I felt the need to motor in a MINI was too great to ignore any longer. Thus, I ride among you now. It is my honor to join such an esteemed group.

Let the modding begin...

 

Hello ///MINI and welcome

 

Welcome ///Mini. I live up in Topanga, and motor around the Marina and Santa Monica area all the time. Look for a Hot Orange totally chromed-out Cooper S Convertible...

Welcome. And yes, the modding never stops...

Cheers,

Thanks, folks. So far, I've been really confused by the lack of acknowledgement from other MINI drivers in my area. They must think I'm some weirdo waving to them. When I had my M Roadster, other fellow M Roadsters usually offered a wave and smile upon encountering another like-minded driver. No matter, I will wave and wave and wave until one of you bastards reciprocates.

Let's Motor!

 

///Mini,

Welcome. Maybe I will see you around. And don't worry about people not being friendly around here. Most of them got foreign objects of corncobb or stick variety stuck up their collective *****. My theory on this is that they bought the car for the wrong reasons anyway. But if you see Eguinn #33 feel free to get my attention.

 

Welcome to the forum. I am usually pulling into CYC at 5 pm every wed for the beer can series. Dark Silver mini blk roof MAXMINI .I'll wave if i see you

Welcome,

Wavers are sadly becoming a rare breed. But there are those of use that will always wave like maniacs...even at the risk of looking like an idiot to a "non-waver".

Happy motoring!

Check out scmm.org for the friendliest Mini fanatics in your area. And when on the west side, wave to Mini Knievel and be assured the gesture will be returned.

Cheers, and welcome to paradise.

I actually got a couple of waves today cruising around Venice and Santa Monica. I can dig it!

 

I'm in the Marina too! I've had my HB/W MCS for about 6 months now. I don't think I've ever seen you around though. I live at the end of Tahiti Way - if I see you I'll definitely wave!

 

Hello from Huntington Beach and welcome!

 

Glad to hear that there are a few of you locals out there who are still enthusiastic about your MINI's. I have just ordered (and excited to see and drive) a new MINI. I, too, live in Topanga and can't wait to drive 9 miles of twisties to get to the coast highway on my way to work in Santa Monica.

 

Been out of the loop lately. I put the stockers back on the MINI because the ride was just too harsh and the potholes too plentiful. Also, my wife has adopted the MINI and I hardly get a chance to drive it anymore. I'm usually tooling around on my motorcycle or scooter nowadays.

I'll still wave at you, though.

Cheers!

 

Welcome to NAM.

I'm rolling around the Santa Monica and South Bay area. If you see a solar red/silver MC, that's probably me. I'll try to wave if you don't wave at me first.
