Silver/Black MINI (S, probably) this morning on Crestwood near (former) Eastwood Mall. I was at the light and it was gone by the time I was moving again. At lunch today, waved with a blue MINI while cresting above Trinity med center.

My cold is almost gone. Ever feel so bad you don't even enjoy driving?

I got a big wave from someone in a BRG today just after lunch on Montclair Rd, was pretty quick so I didn't see what kind of Mini it was.
It was very nice

Well Hey ParrishBlue, that was me I think! If it was a quick exchange on Oporto-Madrid around 1:40; someone (looked blue, but it was a blur) flashed their beams at me and I really appreciated it.

I saw a yellow with a white top MINI Cooper in a parking lot on Hwy 11 Trussville today. Tagged it. Also the night after leaving the meet and eat, I saw a chile red with white top MCS on Greensprings hwy. It was so new it did not have the tag yet. I waved, but it was to dark to see any response.

We were like 2 ships passing in the night That was my husband in front of me, we had just met for lunch at Olive Garden. He saw you waving and thought it was cool. Harley folks do the same thing.
I'm sure our paths will cross again real soon.

I pulled up beside a pepper white/black top in Chalkville on Sunday at about 4:30 pm. I blew my horn and waved, but the windows were tinted so darkly I could not tell it anyone acknowledged my presence. Oh well I tryed.

Tuesday evening about 5:00 I tagged what looked like my twin at the Classix Pumps. It was a Indigo Blue S, maybe a 2001. The very nice Officer was delighted, we chatted Army and Mini stuff. I mentioned Rocket City Mini's and he was very interested. Tagging is so much fun

motored behind a CR/W MCSc down Crestwood today. Two ladies my grandmother's age, appearing much more youthful in the MINI.
