I went to D.C. over the 4th of July and was amazed at how many MINI's there were. Didn't see any modded one's, but still....a TON of MINI's. It was cool to see. Is there a pretty big club at all in D.C.? Seems like there'd be a lot of members!!!! Very cool.

 

Cool! Yeh, a big, crazy, MINI worshipping, (did I say crazy) club..

There are also a lot of non-club MINIs around, just everyday commuters that don't wave, don't mod... oh well, still cool to see so MANY!

 

Our club has over 400 members. So yeah, there are LOTS of MINIs out there. You should have dropped us a line when you were in town, we could have made ANY excuse to get together with ya! Let us knwo next time you are back east our way

 

Hey I did not know this. Next year we could crush that Guiness Book record all by ourselves!

 

Active- don't know the numbers...

 

in old town alone we have prolly one on every street corner. Almost all ofbthem stock though.

 

Second largest in the country I'm proud to say.
The # of MINIs is high because there are 3 dealerships in the DC Metro area, so the market is saturated here.

 

...and we still complain about not having a dealership "close in"...

but yeah, old town Alexandria and the neighborhoods around it are crawlin' with Minis...and most of them don't wave back. pl4ypl4y and defylogik are in the area, I know, but I don't think I've passed them on the street. I'll keep a lookout.

 

I never see anyone really prolly has to do with my 2 mile commute a day

 

I have one 10 mins. from my house, I just don't go there anymore.

 

How many have you carded?

 

Another factor is that anybody who has tried to park anything larger than a MINI in Old Town, Alexandria, or in Georgetown (or anywhere in DC for that matter) is highly motivated to get a short car!
