Arkansas MINI sightings
I saw a red one a few weeks ago in WLR near On The Border
I saw a Green one on E Roosevelt.
Today (7/17) I saw a green one with stripes on I40, just past Mayflower. Whoever you are, please wash the poor baby!!
There is a really nice S, red with front lamps parked at Home Depot in Conway, I assume the owner works there.
Where have you seen one, and does anyone have an idea of how many MINIS there are in Arkansas?

Roadshow Memphis could tell you how many (since great majority in this state were purchased there), and there's got to be at least 40-50 here in central Arkansas - can think of 5-6 parked in front of homes w/i a mile of my house & I've counted close to 30 different ones just living & driving around LR. A wonderful evolution from back in late 2002 when there were maybe 5 of us in the entire state.

yesterday I spotted one in Conway near Hendrix, black with white stripes. this morning I saw a Pepper white one going the opposite direction on I40.
old.. i'm sure they could tell me how many, I'm just enjoying the 'hunt' of finding them, it's kind of a game.
I think its fun how people react to this car too! I've caught people peeking in the window numerous times, leaving a sweaty palm print on the window. I'm thinking of finding a tiny sticker to put on the steering wheel or somewhere inside that says 'Nosey sucker aren't you' or "Hands off" .. just for fun! Would be even more fun if I could find something that made the horn honk if you touched the window.. I guess I could put one of those remote fart machines just under the car by the door, hide.. wait and set it off when they bend over! LOL
yesterday the i thought the girl at chick fila was going to have a fit over the car, I can relate ;-)

I might of back in April. did you have your MINI then. It was on its way toward Conway on I40 between Morgan and Mayflower.
I asked because a red one with UJ on the roof and 100 hrs license plate just about got me a ticket one night. He zoomed by me on I40 then I went around a camaro and a HP came flying up almost pulled me over then saw this other MINI in front of him. A few minutes later I get pulled over by another HP saying the first HP said they were 2 MINIs doing over 100mph. The other MINI was the only one besides me, but when the first HP saw me pass the camaro and near the other MINI, he assumed I was going that fast also. When I got pulled over I was only 74 in a 70. And I had my family with me along with my dog (we were on our way home from out of town) I never even got near 100... that night We were getting gas in Russellville and I saw them zoom by heading in the AR Tech direction.
So I've wondered about that MINI.

Are you from the Russellville area? I was there yesterday and my sister said she waved at a car "just like mine" but they looked at her like she was crazy...because it wasn't me. And AHP or ASP?

My daughter was at Greers Ferry over the weekend. She came home yesterday and said 'you'll never guess what I saw today'. I replied "oh, about 30 MINIS?" She said 'yeah, how'd you know?" LOL
She was going to take a picture but the group was gone before she got her camera out.
I saw a silver S on the I30 bridge this morning.

Mrs. mini... do you work around there? I was going to wave to you but my coworkers wanted to look at the car and then you were gone!
New sighting this morning. At the Country Store in Conway. Red one, pre 07, razorbacks plates on front and rback plate holder on back.
I waved when you came out of the store, guess you didn't see me.
It was kind of funny cuz it was early, guess I wasn't awake yet and I got in my car and someone walked by, looking at my car like she liked it, I didn't even notice she'd parked one right next to me, until I was about to back out.

No problem, I understand. And I saw you going to the bank yesterday!
New sighting: yesterday I30 over the river bridge, pepper white, MCS, w/front fog lamps with blk covers, stayed together until I took the Conway exit. HAHA I passed you, LOL
I only say that because it seems like every time I get near an S, they make every effort to keep me behind... am I imagining that? i doubt it ;-) I think this is the same one I spotted a few weeks ago

As one central Arkansas S owner, I always try to be courteous to fellow MINI owners. But I do make every effort to keep all those Firebirds, Eclipses and Hummers behind!
